just picked up a Prelude **Pics**

[stiffy978]

On Saturday i picked up a clean '98 Honda Prelude from some old lady that lived a couple towns over from me.

I actually scoped it out a couple weeks before buying it and it was clean never raced and everything running perfectly

im pretty sure it was never raced 'cause the lady was at least 50-60 years old.

Its also a standard and I am still learning to drive as we speak. got it registered and insured and drove it on regular roads.

its tougher than i had thought but im starting to get the hang of it

onto the pics taken after a T-storm:

For the people who are gonna say ducktales about the standard

 

[rebel rly]

why would people call ducktales on your cars transmission?
anyways nice pick up

 

[maza4ever14]

Nice, looks like there is a spot on the front that could use some touch up paint.

 

[stiffy978]

idk just figured people would say that

some dude posted his G35 coupe on here,

saying it was standard and some car heads said only the Manuals have Brembo brakes on them

and his didnt have it..

haha or something to that effect.

Nice pick up, kid.

Always been a big fan of the Prelude. Would have killed for one during my tuner days.

 

[Pedro Navaja]

were gonna need tagged pics of the shifter

 

[stiffy978]

^ yeah i tried to pick the Type SH(super-handling)

but couldnt find any in my price range

not to say they arent cheap.. cause they are way affordable

 

[holler mcdollar]

great little car. i owned an '01 type sh for 2 years and loved it. IIRC, the 5th generation prelude is pretty notorious for transmission issues (i.e.grinding between gearshifts; synchros issues) mine developed some 2nd->3rd gear grind but nothing a transmission fluid flush/refill couldn't help.

it's a great daily driver and i would gladly own another one day just to beat up on. www.preludeonline.com was the site i frequented back then.

 

[mr monday niight]

4k? great deal..

now drop it..and get boost

 

[sooperhooper]

[stiffy978]

Mcdollar got any parts for sale?????
