LOL!
I cant touch the car now, since it belongs to the insurance company, but it will go up for tender. I can't afford it, but I will do my best to find out who gets it, simply so I can take things like the engine mounts, rear wing etc off it.
And I want the tyres of it! The Prelude has some old hard Bridgestones, and I like my nice 1/3 worn Yokohamas.
Hopefully it will goto Strongs, who I can get a trade discount off, and know the guys well enough that I can walk around the yard and scavange bits.
I would like to know how much hp it has, Im guesing around 130ish with similar peak torque to the twincam engines, but accross a much smaller range.
In September I will get 1st dibs on a friends 89 Si with 4WS, but its an auto. So Im thinking g/box swap an sell the XX as an auto then use the Si as a manual, and if Im feeling keen slip in a B18c, assuming of course that I happen to like Preludes.
If not then I will run this one till it dies, and when I get qualified and start making some money, buy either another EF9, an EF8, EK9 or an ITR
or something completly differnt :sun:
All going well I should be able to pick it up tomorrow, so pics will be up before monday.
oh, and no 4WS or ABS. The ABS I dont want, its not that good on the old Preludes, 4WS would be nice, but at this age starts to need fixing, which = $ I dont have.
