Posted: Fri May 29, 2015 8:40 pm
(PICTURES BELOW) 1996 HONDA PRELUDE 2.2 VTEC MANUAL PETROL. MY PRIDE AND JOY FOR THE PAST YEAR, ONLY SELLING AS I NEVER KEEP MY CARS FOR LONG AND I'M READY FOR A CHANGE. JAPANESE IMPORT WITH 197 BHP AS STANDARD AND A LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL. 111,000 MILES, DRIVES ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON. HANDLES BRILLIANTLY, VTEC KICKS IN STRONG EVERY TIME. AN AWESOME CAR TO DRIVE AND VERY FAST. MOT'D UNTIL 21ST JANUARY 2016 WITH NO ADVISORIES. IMPORTED IN 2007, THE UNDERNEATH IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, AS IS THE BODYWORK WHICH IS COMPLETELY RUST-FREE EXCEPT A TINY PATCH OF BUBBLING ON THE DRIVERS FRONT WING. THE OWNER BEFORE ME HAD THE CAR FOR MOST OF ITS LIFE OVER HERE IN THE UK. WORKING AT A GARAGE, HE WAS ABLE TO SERVICE AND MAINTAIN THE CAR VERY WELL, AND ANYTHING THAT NEEDED DOING WAS DONE, INCLUDING STARTER MOTOR, CLUTCH, AND CAMBELT CHANGED AROUND 70,000 MILES, USING NEW HONDA AUTO-TENSIONER. HE ONLY SOLD IT AS HE HAD A BABY ON THE WAY. I HAVE CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN THE CAR WELL OVER THE PAST YEAR, BY CARRYING OUT THE REPLACEMENT OF ALL SERVICE ITEMS PLUS FITTING A NEW RADIATOR. THIS IS THE BB4 MODEL, ALSO KNOW AS THE 'LIGHTWEIGHT' MODEL. FEATURES INCLUDE ICE COLD AIR CONDITIONING, DIGITAL CLIMATE CONTROL, POWER FOLDING MIRRORS, ORIGINAL HONDA DEEP-PILE LUXURY FLOOR MATS, AND A RARE ELECTROLUMINESCENT SPEEDO CLUSTER. THE CAR HAS TINTED WINDOWS, AND THE REAR FOG LIGHT HAS BEEN INCORPORATED INTO ONE OF THE REVERSING LIGHTS. FULL 'BUBBLE' STYLE BODYKIT, STAINLESS STEEL CAT-BACK EXHAUST SYSTEM, STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST MANIFOLD, 'FEEL'S' CONE AIR FILTER WITH METAL PIPE TO THROTTLE BODY. DRILLED AND GROOVED FRONT BRAKE DISCS. IMMACULATE 17 INCH ALLOY WHEELS WITH 4 BRAND NEW TYRES. 'SPOON' CHIP FITTED TO ECU, INCREASING POWER OUTPUT THROUGH IMPROVED FUELLING AND IGNITION MAPS. CHIP ALSO ALLOWS VTEC TO ENGAGE SOONER AT 5,000 RPM, AND REMOVES JAPANESE 112 MPH SPEED LIMITER. THE ORIGINAL CHIP CAN EASILY BE PUT BACK IN IF REQUIRED. THE KPH TO MPH CONVERTER IS FITTED AFTER THE ECU SO THAT VTEC STILL ENGAGES IN FIRST GEAR. AUDIO UPGRADES TOO WITH A SONY CD RADIO WITH USB AND AUX PLUG-IN PORTS. SET OF 4 FLI SPEAKERS WITH FLI 'LOADED' AMP. HID HEADLIGHTS. IF I'M BEING PICKY, IT SNICKS EVER SO SLIGHTLY WHEN CHANGING INTO 5TH GEAR QUICKLY AT SPEED (APPARANTLY COMMON ON PRELUDES), HOWEVER IT IS SMOOTH AS SILK WHEN CHANGING INTO 5TH AT A NORMAL RATE. IN SUMMARY THIS IS AN AWESOME CAR IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION. IT HAS BEEN ULTRA-RELIABLE, AND NEVER EVEN LOOKED LIKE LETTING ME DOWN ONCE. I HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE COUNTRY IN THE CAR, AND IT'S BEEN ABSOLUTELY FAULTLESS EVERY TIME. A PLEASURE TO CRUISE AROUND IN, I WILL BE VERY RELUCTANT TO LET IT GO. THE STEERING, CLUTCH AND GEARS ARE SO NICE AND LIGHT, DRIVING IT IS EFFORTLESS. THESE 4TH GENERATION PRELUDES ARE BECOMING VERY RARE NOW, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION AND WITH THESE MODIFICATIONS. MUST BE MAKING AT LEAST 220 BHP WITH THE MODIFICATIONS. ABSOLUTELY MUST BE SEEN AND DRIVEN TO BE FULLY APPRECIATED. COMES WITH 2 KEYS AND ORIGINAL JAPANESE HANBOOK PACK. £2.000 ONO. LOCATED IN CLEVELEYS NEAR BLACKPOOL, VIEWINGS AND INSPECTION WELCOME ANY TIME.
MANY THANKS, ADAM
