Prelude Newbie Type S

Max · Post by **Max** » Mon Apr 11, 2016 8:35 pm

Hi All,

Just wanted to introduce myself and the Lude. I just picked up a 5th Gen Type S in black, its needs a bit of work but its pretty much rust free. I'm not new to Honda's and i also own a DC5, used to have a UK DC2 before that also in black.

Anyway here she is...

Not sure what she's really worth but it seems the Type S is a bit special? Been learning all about them and im keen to get this one looking and running 100%. I'll be doing most of the work myself and already have a mental list of stuff that its going to need, rocker gasket, fix the knocking rear passenger side, power steering leak etc...

Cheers
Max

Hey buddy,

I was looking at this lude for myself as I'm not far from you!

Good to see someone has picked it up that is gonna restore her to her former glory!

Welcome in bud!

Hello fellow Type S owner.
I noticed your reg is nearly the same as mine.

Just the 1 number is different and wrong order.

Looks great. Be careful of that greddy front lip. They shatter very easily.

Welcome.
There is another black type s owner very near you that will be very jealous of your front lip!
