Yea, it was for sale.. I couldn't afford to run two sports cars.. Even though this was a daily it used to cost as much as a Prelude to run (petrol/insurance wise). One of them had to be sold and I chose to keep the Type-S :geek:

Put it up for sale on Gumtree, eBay and Facebook pages.. So many time wasters. Seriously if I've had a £1 for every stupid swap or just someone trying to come and see the car and they didn't turn up, I would have had £1000. :x

But last week, someone from Belguim, just put a deposit on the car so I guess they're serious. Should be collected this Sunday. :idea:

Will miss it as it was a fun little car with 4dr practicallity but Prelude will be much better.. 8-)

Yes.

I think in Europe they get happy with RHD stuff as it's similar to JDM.. They don't have it so they get boners over it. Just like our Preludes being taken to Europe (specially Poland ;) )

Don't worry we will probably see it at Honda fest next year in the Belgian section slammed, broken suspension and 165 tyres on 9" whistlers.

Time has now come up to look for another daily and also a small car for MrsNitin..

I saw this car on Facebook page for sale, Going to have a look at it tomorrow..

Bought this as a daily when I took my EG off the road. Ended up breaking my EG and fitting some parts to this. Never had an issue put 6000 miles on it, never missed a beat and starts first time every time.

Rare optional extra lip kit
Momo wheel
Buddy club short shifter
Custom gear knob
H&R 40mm lowering springs
Direnza 15mm bolt on spacers (on rear to help clearance for aftermarket wheels)
Muteki wheel nuts

Good few months left on MOT no advisories on last one.
All good tires
I did an oil and filter change at around 121K
No fluid leaks, gearbox crunches etc.

Bad bits

Rust on rear arches but not structural.
Couple scratches, key mark on passenger side
No stereo but adapter is there for one.
Occasionally on idle it will drop really low but engine is still running. Never caused an issue with driving only when stopped for over 5 minutes.
Could do with front brake pads
Exhaust is cut half way under car as I was going to make a custom back box but didn't have time to finish it. Still got the pieces I cut. Can sort this before I sell.
No history as previous owner said they'd send it me but never did.


£600.. Anyone in Birmingham tomorrow that want to come and see it with me?? :twisted:
