Hi, from Preston BB6 owner

Post by majemoss » Sun Apr 22, 2012 11:58 pm

Hi everyone i'm Mark from Preston, Lancs. Thought i'd say a quick hello, joined PUK but seems all like the action is over this way.
I've been a 5th Gen Prelude owner for a few months now. Its my first Honda and so far loving it.
I bought the car off my wifes Dad as it wasn't getting much use anymore since he bought his new car. I didn't really know what I was buying other than that it was a 97 2.2 Prelude, after doing abit of researching and info off forum members I found out it is a 1997 JDM BB6 SiR. The spec is as follows-

JDM H22a engine
M2T4 LSD gearbox
Full West Wings Avenger body kit
Half Red leather interior
JDM electric folding mirrors
Digital climate control
18" Ace 130 Alloy wheels
Oh and its been LPG converted, although much prefer 99 RON :D

Anyway heres a few pics.

Initially I wasn't keen on the body kit, but its definately grown on me. One thing I didnt like was the way the front indictors had been fitted behind the bottom section of bumper mesh, plus I was finding people were pulling out infront of me as they were out of view.
So yesterday I took the bumper off and fitted them where they had been intended to be. They look so much better now.
I just need to try and get some front fogs that will fit as the previous round ones fell apart, ideas anyone?

There is a few small rust patches that could do with attention and a small dent in the n/s quarter, but other than that has been well kept in great condition. Oh the power steering pump randomly whines (bloody annoying) so I think the bearing is on its way out.

The future plans are to tidy up the rust bits, change the timing belt when I can get round to it (famous last words), keep her serviced and just Enjoy!


Thanks

Mark

Hi thanks for the comments, yeah he owned it since 99 so I'm only the 3rd owner :)
Pretty chuffed with it, hopefully it'll be good at MOT time in September and I'll have no problems.
Thanks
