Hello lads :)

Alright?

Apologies for putting up a for sale thread without introducing myself
http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/prelude ... t5157.html

I was a member of preludeuk, but very rarely posted as I was only doing so on occasion on behalf of my mum who has a 4thgen. She'll be getting herself a new car in the spring as the lude needs some work so I think I'll be taking it to turn into a track car/toy. I believe it's a JDM Si, it has no 4ws and I think it has an LSD.
She originally bought it from a mate of mine 4/5 yrs ago and it was lowered on some ebay coilover sleeve kit which had nackered the shocks. I replaced them for OEM and then my mum promptly (6months later) came of the road and went up an embankment requiring the replacement of 2 of the new shocks :roll:
As it stands the rear arches are rusting in the corners and the sunroof is tatty. Also, it smokes like a bitch in vtec and seems to idle on 3 cylinders, yet drives on 4 :? . Other than that it's pretty clean. Drives lovely and polishes up well. I plan to rebuild the motor (on has 75k on it), sort the rust out, fit some buckets, coliovers and possibly a cage and take it out on the track. I've done a couple of track days, including a trip to the 'ring in my CRX and miss it.
These are the only pics I have and they're pretty old:

My current daily is the below civic. I've had it a year and it was a replacement for my old CRX SiR (further below). I actually sold the crx to the mate who my mum bought her prelude from, and he's stripped and rebuilt it. I was running it into the ground and as I had no room to take it off the road I sold it to someone who was willing to put the love and time into saving it. The pics of it look good and although mechanically solid it was rusty underneath and needed a fair bit of work. I miss the CRX like crazy, but I could only have one car and it was becoming unpredictable and unreliable and I was beginning to resent it. I miss it like crazy, but being the mate he is I'm always allowed to have a go in it :D I've got first dibs if he sells it too, but with the amount of track days he's doing in it I worry it'll be destroyed before that day comes :cry:
The thing that pisses me off the most about the whole situation is this video of me in my new car against my mate in my old car (I lost by 0.05s :evil: )
