whats up guys, i just picked up an 87 prelude with 69000 original miles, it has the 1.8 carb. in it with an auto but i'll deal.
whats out there for this car, this is my first honda, so i'm not quite sure where to start. thanks for the help.
:thumbup:

 

you are probably going to have to repaint it? How is the rust around the wheelwells?

(I had an 86si---loved it more than my 2000)

 

the paint is in really good shape, with no signs of rust anywhere
all in all the car is mint. just a few small scratches. andit still shines. it seems like it handles well and has decent acceleration.
and i paid 2800 for it.

 

well

those older preludes handle great cause they are lighter

Just picked me up a 92 Si 4WS yesterday myself. Has super high miles, like it so far. Paid 3200. Its replacing my VTEC Del Sol which got stolen. Congrats on your Lude

 

watch out for the miles on that 92si

the h23a1 seems to like to spin rod bearings (usually #2), at or above 150k miles.
you should consider a h22 swap, its a direct bolt in, and its alot more reliable and powerful than the h23a1.

it handles great, my gf has a 99 cavalier z24, and it out handles that no problem. it justs needs some good tires. the front are good, but the rear are the sh*tty metric tires, with no real tread design.

 

Don't have money for a swap if I did I'd of prolly bought something with lower miles. Thanks for the advice though
