This particular car is a JDM 2.2 Si Vtec BB1 (with 2ws conversion), no abs and no airbags.
The car was originally imported into the UK by its only owner in 2000 and has owned it for the past 14 years.
Dave (Darf) was the first person who worked on my first prelude back in 2004 when he fitted a Darfsport (Spoon V1) chip to my lude.
I have since gotten to know Dave quite well over the years and had a particular affection for his car.
Some of you may remember Dave who attended the Annual LG meet back in 2013where we had the last Dyno day at Power station.
Dave has loved this car and all his MOT’s with no advisories and no rust on the car shows this.
Dave has built this car from the ground up, including all the engine build and gearbox himself. I’ve seen all the calculations he has used for the engine build and it looked pretty mind boggling and utterly thorough.
When I spoke to Dave recently, he was looking to put the car up for sale. After several discussions a deal was struck and I am now the proud owner of this beauty.

I have a few cosmetic external changes to make and hoping to fit my oil cooler kit.
