From the looks of what you can see on the speedo it is an automatic.

Is the sat-nav worth having?

I'm pretty sure those number refer to the military base it was stored at, when it was used for target practice...

The sat-nav can't be made to work in the UK, but the system is worth taking out, yes, because the A/C system is controlled through the same screen and they ocassionally go wrong. Nitin is looking for a new screen (at a reasonable price) for his car, for example.

Looks like a 2.2 JDM SiR Auto..

Looking at the car's state I doubt the sat nav even turns on. But if you can get that screen out for me to have a look that would be great!

From the looks of it, you can still make use of the JDM cup holder, JDM bronze speedo rings.

I went with a friend to collect a car from a body shop, and the owner asked if I needed parts for my lude. I said yes and he took me to see this wreck, the only way you can tell it was a 5th gen Prelude was by looking at the dash.
I bought the complete sunroof, and all the A/C conditioning parts, ie., condenser, compressor, pipes the whole lot for €250!
The engine is still there with the auto gearbox. It has 136,000 km, on the clock, which is only 85,000 miles.
I think the engine is 200 hp, but, I'm not sure, it's a black top.
