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 :(

It's been stated...but I don't think this was all that smart of a decision. If the engine was running completely well, then yes, you could forgo having a nice-looking car because it actually runs when the Celica doesn't. But I mean, it's not that strong on either part...there's a lot of exterior work to do and the engine is on 3 cylinders.
Having said that, good luck with fixing her up. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

Celica don't. What's wierd is it only acts like that on idle, but once u actually give it gas it's fine. Really wierd. Even still I may do a small rebuild, but my friends said they'll charge me for the toyota, but not honda (they know what the hell they are doing with the f22). So I kinda save $.. Oh well. I want to trade the prelude for a celica down the line sometime. -------------------- I still own my celica, but i'm parting it out and junking it.. Or selling as a whole. Have a honda prelude now :(
