First time Prelude owner!

Post by Poppytheprelude » Thu Mar 20, 2014 8:50 pm

Evening peeps

New to the Prelude, Have worked for Honda for 5 years but first time I have owned such a fantastic car. She is a beauty but like all old girls she is a bit rough round the edges. I'm hoping that I can get some advice on parts etc. I obviously have friends at Honda but its good to speak to owners.

Hope to hear from you soon!!

Hi guys,

thanks for the messages.

I will get some pics on this weekend,

When i say rough, yes i am talking about rust but also paint and little bits that need fixing (for example, the windows dont work, think its the motor!) but i plan to spend a bit on her each month to get her back to former glory

I went for 5th Gen as its my favourite shape

I am keen to tune her up, maybe paint and kit.

I went for the 2.0i but might go for engine change next year

Welcome in :)

Haven't tried one, but I'm told the 2.0 is quite a sweet engine
