Hi All

Just a question I have been getting regarding the baffled sump.

Due to the Prelude sump being aluminium it is very difficult to weld any baffled plates to it so Rich came up with his own design for the existing prelude's oil sump.

Rich at Performance Autoworks fitted it for me and it is his design.
Simple but effective.

What an ad, brilliant and what a car. Good grief, it's gorgeous. You should sell it to Honda as a museum exhibit.

Really really GLWTS, gutted you have to sell but as I said in PM, they are just cars eh.

Great ad and great car.
This, an ATR intake mani, Hondata and a RR session and you've got a fast, well sorted, good looking, meticulously maintained sports coupe for what, ~£4k. Bargain.

As others have said, meticulous ad, meticulously maintained car, really, really sorry to see you selling her.
I do hope she goes to someone that will take as good a care (and not tasteless mod the crap out of it).

^ This.
Incidentally I only mentioned the ATR mani etc as my 2p's worth as to what I would do, as it's already been (sensibly) modded.
