First of all thanks for having a look.
I have just received a 1989 Honda Prelude
from my Grandfather (who bought brand new in 89)
This is my first good car which i am intrested in
putting some money into. I have no clue what anything
means lol. (Gen3/gen4 Clutch Master Stage 2 clutch
Brembo big brake kit And the types of turbos all the good stuff)
I'm looking for a good web site to teach me all of this. I would aslo
like to no since it is a 1989 if it is a gen3 and what are the diffrences
between S/Si ?

Thanks

Simple question.... What do you think that avrage life of a Honda Prelude motor is ? Miles/kilo wise...?
thanks

i would say well over 200k miles if very well maintained.

how much money are you gonna be putting into the car?

[Flawlesscc]

LOL i have 300 000 Miles (600 000 Ks)
But i am not worried about the life the car, is
like new. My Grandfather got a new paint job every year to prevent rust.. Only needs Power steering seal and Drum brakes. Also the motor is GREAT shape. Other then that the car is Great. I am not sure how much money i am going to spend, I want to turn this car into a hobbie so i will probly spend a buck or 2.

I don't know about the 3th gen. If you are looking for a racing car that not one. You can make it look better then it does now. 300,000 miles thats a loti never saw that in my life but really its your first car so you can just save your money if you are going to get into this racing thing and get a newer and faster car but its up to you.
