Nice!
Knew you had to find one eventualy, can I ask how much?
First thing you need to do when you get it is take of the silly VTEC controler and sell it a Prelude owner. The Stock ECU on the B16a does a far better job. (while the Prelude is one of life mysteries)
And make sure you look after those Mugen rims. :)
Like dont even take it home with out decent lock nuts.

It was $6995
Its not perfect but for that price I can fix it up to a standard im happy with.
It needs four new tyres, they passed compliance but only just, but I have a contact to get good tyres cheap so that wont be a problem.
It needs a few paint scratches fixed up and all the trim is missing out of the boot but I dont consider that a big problem.
Ive got 15 shots left on my camera so Ill use them up but probably some of those will be when worshp is down here so it might be around new years before you see them, I will hopefully get the two pics that were taken of it in japan when I pick it up tomorrow (as of the last 16 mins its actually today lol), Theyre not flatering pics but they will give you an idea
cheers

The auxiliary lights were in the boot so are now reinstalled and its reeally dirty in the pics, particularly the wheels

Yes it does.
Im not to sure wheter I think thats a good thing or not.
It definately makes it harder to get into the boot because it dont open very high so youve got to duck under it.
When I picked it up the also said there were four coil springs that came in the boot so ive got those, I assume they are the factory ones so tomorrow Ill jack it up so see exactly what is in there, now that I think about it, it definately has been lowered, and the ride is pretty hard
