is this a good deal?

Hi

I just bought a honda prelude 92 model with 80,000km on the clock for $9,000 Australian dollars
its a japanese personal import. its got a 2.3 litre engine so i am guessing that its a 160 hp model. non vtec

what do you guys think did i get a pretty good deal?



also i want to ask you;se a question. my friend has a prelude 2.3 litre motor with a vtec. jap model

how can his car have vtec when its a 93 model????????????// and everyone says there is no 2.3L vtec engine. also some people say that you can replace the head of a 23 with a 22 head and then you get vtec?

they say this is very expensive? how much would this be to do and those this give you an advatange over a 22 enginer with a vtec?

whats the hp output of a 2.3 vtec?

thanks


also was there ever a 2.7Litre vtec racing model developed in japan? or anything like that in 93 94? or any other yearts?

since most of the people on this board live in america... what is $9000 austrailian dollars in US dollars? the mileage is very low for a 92' though, i can tell you that much

hi

$9000 AUD is about $6750 USD i know that sounds alot since you guys are all paying like 3000USD max but in australia cars cost alot more. well the older cars cost alot .

I will go to america when i finish university (college for you americans) lol i can't wait all your car parts seem cheap :P

as far as I know no 2.7, and also the headswap isnt very expensive, ECU/head oil lines, wiring mods, dowels, some machine work, etc. it does get expensive but nowhere near *very* expensive. just dropping in an H22 longblock/ecu might be just as cheap though, and teh small gain of .1 liters of displacement wouldnt be worth the time/effort if it ends up costing just as much in my opinion


and if the body/interior is in good shape thats not a bad price at all, isnt 80000km like 35-45k miles or so? thats LOW LOW miles for a 90's car, especially a 92
