Lude Generation

Hi all

I've been lurking for a short while, but thought it was time to say hello.

"Hello"

There, done it...

A few weeks ago I bought HondaNSX's 4 gen BB4 as a birthday pressie to myself http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/post89088.html#p89088
A pleasant transaction from a genuine trade seller. I've been back to see Paul to have the exhaust tweaked and would recommend him for tyres or used cars. Nice bloke and a real Honda enthusiast.

Since then i've only done a few miles on weekends but have begun pottering in the 'man cave' to get her up to scratch cosmetically. The arches are generally fine bar a little surface bubbling, but I took one sill protector off yesterday and the rot there has well and truly taken hold towards the rear, so I spent the day killing that off and sealing it, ready for filling...only to find someone had half-inched the hardener out of the filler kit I bought the previous day. Charming.

Must admit its good to be back in a Honda. I have a diesel company car with 218bhp/332ft lbs which goes like stink, but the engine is rough as a badgers behind. So the Prelude is for weekends only and so far i'm loving it. I plan to keep it pretty unmolested but do think she's a bit down on throttle response, so might look into a few things to resolve that. I might end up chasing my tail but my previous BB4 (owned for 8 months 5 years ago and sold to a guy in Wales whom I think might be on this forum...hang on...i've just checked and there's a 99 page build thread on my old car!!!) seemed a bit perkier, but that might just be age taking its toll.

Anyway, am off to read Nathan's build thread on 'ELB'. I'm glad Marc sent her to a good home.

Cheers

Welcome along bud

Welcome to the club bud. Nice little side project you've got yourself there

I was going to say there's only one member on here with near 99 pages on their build thread

That car was always destined to be mine as well. I was going to buy it when you were advertising it on Pistonheads, but then I was told I was being made redundant, so sadly I had to be sensible with my money. Suffice to say I got a new job a month and a half later and so bought it anyway, but from Marc! (Though sadly not for as cheap as you were selling it sadly ).

Small world!

Fun per £££ thats the best car I ever owned. All she cost me was the rear silencer, service parts and the seat belt (bloomin MOT testers said it was freyed) and I sold it for the same price I paid for it. I'd only just cottoned on to what a BB4 was, so I perhaps sold it a little too cheap. That said, it was pre-wife & kids to a few hundred here and there didnt matter so much those days!

I might be a daft old b-gger but it really does my morale some good to see a fondly-remembered previous car in such rude health.
