Hello everyone i'm a kid who owns an 88 honda prelude SI and i love it i have driven many other cars and they just dont do it for me.. my little prelude is fast and corners pretty well.. but.. the engine is going to go on it.. i took it into the shop to get it checked out which is what i do every couple months and they said its leaking oil into the radiator where the coolant is stored.. i went around and got a couple second opinions to see if this was going to be a problem and they all said that its going to start having some serious problems.. now i am considering buying a new engine and getting it swapped completely i understand that i need the B20A3 engine to put in there and u can get one off ebay with like 90K kilometers for like 500 dollars that seems like the way to go but.. my car has alot of rust on it so much that getting the engine swapped would almost seem pointless because if i ever get pulled over for anything they will send me in for a DOT inspection and the car will not pass so then the next thing i was looking into was buying a new car.. but like i said i'm a kid so i dont have a ton of money i am looking into either a prelude or a civic and i'm looking at all these civic's and preludes that are different models like si, s, ex, sir, and so on and so forth.. i have no idea what any of those mean and have had a hard time finding out what they mean so if anyone could help me with those and advise me on a good cheap car that handles well and goes decently fast then that would be great.. i know that that is very hard to find for a cheap price but i do like to get some advice and do some homework before i buy so if anyone could help me with that that would be great
