    Default 1993 Honda Prelude S/VTEC.. (mine)

    Well, I don't really want to do this, but life is not what it once was and the wallet gets tighter and tighter..


    What it is:
    1993 Prelude S with JDM H22A VTEC swap For Sale..

    - 1993 Honda Prelude S Black on Black cloth
    - 150,000km
    - JDM H22A VTEC Engine -200HP stock
    - No more than 100,000KM on the engine (so they told me when I bought it, no way to really verify that tho.)
    - M2B4 LSD 5 Speed Transmission (very rare -Not available in North America)
    - Field "Boxer Series" VTEC and Air/Fuel Controller (Deletes JDM 180KM/h speed limiter)
    - E.S. Motor mounts
    - Short ram intake
    - Ractive "twin Loop" style exhaust (Fisting-worthy tip )
    - Acura Legend 2-piston front Calipers w/Brembo blank SRV rotors
    - 16" Unknown wheels (see photo)
    - BRAND NEW (less than 200KM) 205/50-16 Aurora (Hankook) K103's
    - Kenwood deck (KRC740) and 6 disc changer and Aux (rca) input
    - 10" Rockford Fosgate Dual voice Coil Sub w/150.1 amp (240ish watts, I have the birth certificate still.)
    - 120v inverter for laptop ect
    - H&R Springs on stock struts (works fine for now, you might want to upgrade struts)
    - 1992 "long console" with storage box (CD changer inside)
    - Momo Apache Steering Wheel (stock wheel with airbag and cable reel included)
    - Mobil 1 oil exclusively since the swap, every 4-5000 KM's. Tranny oil always changed at the same time. (overkill, but cheap insurance!)
    -Stock wing is included but not installed. I have a sunroof visor that cuts down on wind noise, but doesn't look that good.

    I'm forgetting some things.. I'll update as I remember them..

    What it needs:

    - Rust repair on quarters near the bumper, (like they all have) -I was quoted between 300-700 depending on the shop to repair.
    - Some general clean-up of the Stereo Install (I'll do this before anyone buys)
    - New Exhaust midpipe, The stock one is not great and rattles due to a poor repair job by Midas Muffler on 17th ave and 38th (don't ever go there)
    - um, that's about it.

    I've got recipts for several thousand dollars not including the swap!! I'm afraid to total it all up but $7-8000 in parts alone including the engine isn't that far off.
    I have several hundred hours into the car, and know every single nut and bolt in it. Nothing was 1/2 assed in the buildup, if it needed it, I did it. New clutch, gaskets, water pump, timing belt ect! Nothing mechanical is needed other than a new exhaust mid pipe.

    Once again I really don't want to sell the car and I'm really just gauging interest right now...but, if someone comes up with the cash, it's their's!

    My E-mail is: [email protected]

    $14,000 Firm.. I won't sell for less, it's not worth it to me to loose this sweetheart. I love this car and look at it as a reflection of myself -it's built on my blood, sweat and sacrifice.

    er.. is that too melodromatic? Anyhow.. Photos:

    Well, It's more of a financial desparation thing.. I'm getting paid roughly 50% of what I should be in my current position, and there seems to be no chance of a raise anytime soon. After 3 years of this meager existance I'm kinda finished in a financial sense. I'm going to be working 2 jobs soon to keep my head above water and I'm not sure it's worth it --Should I "live to work" or "work to live"? That's the question I'm asking myself. I really think my girlfriend deserves to be taken out for a dinner or two once in a while as well (thanks baby)
    I'm hoping things change so I can keep the car and continue on with the modding, but it's not really looking good.


    I think the next car will be the 86 Civic hatch I just rebuilt, and I'll keep my 2k1 R1 for ripping around on and track days. I got the bike WAAAAAY to cheap to sell it, I'm only into the bike for $4300 right now and I still have a ton of parts to sell. I hope to be into the bike for under $3000 when all is said and done.


    I'll definately be out this weekend for the lude meet, And I'll try to make it out on Wednesday (been there a couple of times and no one I knew was there!!) for sure.
