Prelude Pictures Thread

[992.5RS]

Nice cars in here!! I may be picking up a 98 SH this week!

[East McDuck]

Got another picture of my prelude, only without the snow this time. You can sort of see where someone hit my front driver side recently and took off. There's a nice dent right where the fender and bumper meet. This is for sale now too. Couldn't find anyone to do the body work. They all kept telling me it would be too expensive and wouldn't be worth it. Pisses me off. Only wanting 1500 for it.

Yep, it's a 5-speed. F22A motor from an accord. Just replaced the axles about 2 months ago. Just rolled over to 210,000 miles on the body. Don't know how many miles on the motor. It runs just fine though. I've been delivering pizzas with it since December with no serious problems at all. The only problems I've had with it is just routine stuff. Plugs and wires, fuel filter, air filter, etc. I will say that the stabilizer bar is broken on the rear driver side and the rear brakes make some noise. I don't even notice the stabilizer bar except for that it makes a tapping noise when I go over a bump. The brake noise I think is just from where one of the previous owners sloppily painted the calipers. It doesn't seem to affect the functionality of the brakes at all. Just sounds like the car's farting, and I only notice it when I'm backing out of a driveway or something. My email address is dana_harvey@hotpop.com if you have any questions about it. If you have any problems with that address, try mushroomman2004@yahoo.com. I'm located in Kenton, Ohio. If you think you might be interested in checking it out, let me know and I will email you my home address. The rims and stereo are NOT included in the sale but I will throw them in at an extra cost. Also, I was unable to find anyone (at least locally) that would do the body work on the rear quarters. They all told me that the investment wouldn't be worth it to me. So I'm going to get rid of this one and put the money towards one that's in good shape and more powerful.

nah good luck wit tha sale body dmg is pretty bad.

That's cool, I shouldn't have much problem selling it around here. Lots of middle class people that are happy to find a cheap car. I'm definitely buying another one of these though. I love them. I'd considered getting a 5th gen just to see how they are. I really like the body style of the 4th gens though. If you ask me they look sweeter than the 5th gens. Whichever I get, it's going to be a VTEC.

[dkg33]

yea i like those gens too but i dunno i like 4th and 5th gen also. but the 5th gen is like a boat lol heavy as fuck. but yea get vtec the better good luck wit the sale

F22A1 motor from an Accord (don't know what year or how many miles are on it). Motor still runs just fine. 5-speed manual transmission that still shifts smoothly. Body has a little over 210,000 miles on it. It's mostly stock with the exception of the motor, exhaust, and the "cold air intake". New axles installed about 2 months ago. I, personally, have taken very good care of it in the time that I've had it and it does run much better now than it did when I bought it. When I got it, the motor tended to sputter quite a bit, but that, for the most part, has been eliminated. Once in a while you'll hear it sputter just slightly. That's usually when I'm decelerating with the transmission though or when it's still cold and starts to idle down. I replaced the fuel filter, air filter, plugs and wires, etc upon purchasing the car and that made a huge difference in how it runs. There are still a few things wrong with it mechanically and electronically. Really, the only mechanical problem is minor. The stabilizer bar is broken on the rear driver side. The only time I notice it is when I go over a bump and it makes a brief tapping sound. As far as electrical problems, the only things I've encountered are the dome light and trunk light. Neither of which function. They both have new bulbs and the fuses are good. Might be a relay or something. Probably an easy fix. The only other thing besides the body work that needs done is the rear brakes. They make a little noise sometimes when I'm backing up. I think it's just the calipers sticking a little though. One of the previous owners painted the calipers blue. He painted the valve cover the same color and it doesn't even match the car. The brakes still function just fine though, regardless of the noise. The noise sounds kind of like a fart. There's no grinding or anything, just rubbing. Other than those few things, there is nothing seriously wrong with the car, to my knowledge. I did have a problem previously where oil leaked down into the spark plug tubes but that problem was remedied with new gaskets and rings. Let me know if you're interested in checking it out and I will provide you with the necessary info. I'd be happy to take more pictures for you first, if you like. Just let me know. I'm only asking $1500. It'll be more if you want the rims and/or the sub and amp. Rims are some kind of off-brand. The only marking on them was "sport line". Tires are all four brand new Nexen 205/40/17 low pros with not even 200 miles on them. Rims need cleaned up, definitely. Sub and amp are as follows: MA M1900XE 1000W mono block, paired with a single 12 inch MA 1200 watt HK120XC sub in a ported box.
