For complete history, see my profile thread here: http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/profile ... -t303.html

Price: £2,500 ono

The car has tax and MOT so can be test driven.

Mileage (Shell): 228,900
Mileage (Engine): 180,000 (approx)
MOT: 12th April 2019

After over 9 years of ownership, it is now time for me to regretably sell my 4th generation Prelude.

This is an incredibly comfortable and easy to drive car, having taken me on 3 long roadtrips to Europe between 2014 - 2016 without missing a beat, but over the past few years has had very little other use having only covered 1,100 miles in 2017.

This is my main reason for sale - the car just isn't being used as much as I want and I can't justify the annual cost of sitting it on the drive any longer.

The car is a UK car but has had a JDM engine and LSD gearbox (with traction control) transplanted, along with other JDM goodies such as folding mirrors and automatic climate control so is cheaper on insurance but has all the toys!

The front bumper has however taken a bit of a battering due to how low the car is so does require repair, along with some other mileage related marks to get the car back into show condition. The rear arches were replaced in 2011 and the sills replaced in 2015 - so all major rust repairs have been undertaken and treated with Bilt Hamber Dynax S50.

Exterior:
  • Wings West RS replica front lip
  • Euro Bubble side skirts and rear lip
  • "Supra Style" spoiler (similar to the Wings West spoiler, think it's custom made and has since been modified to include the 3rd LED brake light from the OEM spoiler)
  • Powerflow 6"x4" oval back box
  • Folding wing mirrors (modified to operate with central locking)
  • Glass sunroof panel from 5th gen Prelude
  • JDM "one-piece" headlights modified with Subaru Legacy HID projector lenses, and utilising D2R OEM HID bulbs and ballasts. These fire up to full brightness within a second unlike cheap chinese aftermarket bulbs, and the projector lenses give perfect alignment meaning no issues with MOT
  • Full LED front indicators integrated into headlights - sidelights relocated to OEM indicator unit in bumper
  • Washer jets from Honda Jazz fitted to scuttle panel, OEM jets in bonnet removed and smoothed
  • Rear wiper removed
  • OEM electrical aerial removed, hole welded and smoothed
Interior:
  • Honda S2000 seats
  • Original black leather interior rear seats and door cards
  • Zebra floor mats front and rear
  • JDM automatic climate control
  • Full EL Dash
  • Iluminated "prelude" logo in place of high level brake light
  • Working cup holder!
  • Additional map lights in headlining
  • USB charging ports fitted next to glovebox
Engine:
  • JDM H22
  • JDM M2B4 gearbox with LSD and traction control
  • Custom intake pipe relocating air filter behind bumper
  • Cruise Control
Handling:
  • Buddy Club P1 Racing 16" wheels with Uniroyal Rainsport 3 tyres
  • BC Racing coilovers with height and damping adjustment (complete with adjustment 'C' spanners)
  • Original 4 wheel steering system
Security:
  • Remote central locking alarm fitted, with immobiliser and auto re-arm

That's a great car for the money.

Are you sure you won't regret selling it?

I may do, I've been hovering over this for a few weeks now, but it's not getting used and I can't see it changing any time soon :(

Mine did under 100 miles last year but I am not even remotely thinking of selling. Come on keep it you know you want to!

Such a sweet Lude - £2500 is very low in my opinion.

Price high and keep it till someone buys, which they will.

Alternatively, damn, you sure you wont change your mind.....

Wow what a beauty !! A credit to it's owner

If this was August or September, I'd be having this baby in a heartbeat, but funds are just too short at the moment. I'm sure you'll find a buyer. GLWS

Hopefully she's still available then when I come into some money (hopefully) in a few months time. Was considering an Accord Coupe as a 'show car', but your Prelude is an absolute gem.
