Ok here's the deal. I found my way on to this forum because I was originally planning on picking up a 94-95 Accord to play with. After looking in the paper this week I found no really attractive Accords but there is a 92 Prelude for $3,500.

Now, I'm not new to the automotive scene, but I am very new to the sport compact scene. I've been reading these forums like mad trying to get reasonably educated on these things, but frankly...it's going to take a while.

At first I was pretty excited to find the Prelude and then I got to reading. I'm a little discouraged that the 92's didn't come vtech in America. So...what engines am I looking at getting in this thing? Are they decent engines at all or am I gonna have to look at doing an engine swap before to long?

What advantages/disadvantages to you see in an 94 accord v/ 92 prelude?

If there's anything else you can tell me about these cars and/or recommondations that you could give I would very much appreciate it. It's fair to say that I'm out of my element here...so any help would be appreciated.

Thanx guyz
