I baught a 94 Prelude S with 141k miles on it. Has a F22A1 in it.

Here is what it needs;

Bit of engine work, only running on 3 cylinders(kinda). Has compression, changed plug wire, plug, etc.. could be injector, maybe rings?

Windshield(Got one quoted, they come to house and install it, $163.. Got that cash already, but saving incase I need for engine.)

Rear quarter rust(usual honda cancer)
Drivers side rear quarter needs a bit of bondo

Small dent on passenger door(bondo, or pop back.. both? lol)

Front bumper(lol)

Passenger side fender(least of my worries tbh)

Drivers side CV Boot/axle (it clicks when you turn left, whatever though)


That's about it really. I got it for $500, and drove it back about 2 hours. Not trying to dog on Celica's, I love Celicas and all, but atm the prelude running on 3 cylinders smokes my 7afe celica.. then again I haven't driven my celi in a few months.. And the prelude made it back on 3 cylinders and such 2 hours, celica can't drive an hour without blowing a gasket.. lmfao.. I love my celica though.. Sad i gotta get rid of it(or fix it for cheap cheap cheap)... But i'm prolly gonna part it(already got a thread)

Pics.














--------------------
I still own my celica, but i'm parting it out and junking it.. Or selling as a whole. Have a honda prelude now :(

Interior wise, I love it. I have the same seats in my 93 Accord, they hug you on every turn.


But to the point I wanted to state. Dude I think you have more work in front of you then you had in your 6g, why would you do such a thing? This is probably a the worst thing you could've done with your money. What did you need in your 6g, a motor swap? And what do you need in this to function proper and look proper?

Sorry I don't mean to down you since you got a Honda, it's not about that. All I'm trying to get to is, did you even calculate how much you are gonna spend on this just to repair it? This is coming from experience, I bought my 6g but I wrote down everything I needed and possibly would need and I passed my marker by a couple hundreds. Trust me right it down and see how much everything is gonna cost you and if it's really worth fixing. I hope you good luck with this car, but give it a good taught.
