That looks reasonably clean and well priced too.

Looks tidy, although there looks to be a few different shades of silver in there (could just be the light).

Also you may want to double check that there's actually a VTEC lump in there assuming that's what you're after.

And nice Mugen number plate ;)

Iceberg Silver is a hard colour to match. I had to get the wing and bumper repaired after a cosmetic accident and the paint just does not match lol.

I do love the Civic R alloys on a lude. They make the car seem more up to date.

There should be as it has CTR alloys on it.

Still worth the simple question as anything can be swapped (hubs).

My first "VTEC" Prelude turned out to be a 2.2 non-Vtec. Neither I or the seller were that well informed back then ;)

V true. It certainly started out life as a VTEC (rev counter and cruise control, the 2L didn't come with cruise control).

I was thinking more 2.2 non-vtec.

Yeah could of had a 2.2 non VTEC swap although its probably harder to get hold of a F22b than a H22. There are some crazy mofo's out there though :lol: (its still an ambition of mine to boost a F22 engine, not sure what I'd use it for though :oops: )

No I mean originally! :lol: There's a chance it started life as a JDM 2.2 non-vtec and still is. Often importers will fit a UKDM bumper to fit a UKDM number plate. 2.2 non-vtecs also have rev counters (although I also though 2.0l did as well).

He doesn't mention that it's a vtec in the ad and I think it's quoting the displacement of a 2.2 non-vtec (2157cc as aposed to 2156cc, but I might be getting them the wrong way around).

Either way, all I was suggesting was simply checking before making any commitments... This seems to have blown up out of portion :lol:
