This is my 2nd car, and I was intentionally looking for something at the time i got this car... I wanted a newer Accord, something that would be cheap to drive and maintain (and expense for my business) as my "winter beater"...this car ended up being much more than i bargained for.
I found it by accident again, like the 3000GT, I was driving around Lancaster putting up signs for my realestate business and happened across this Prelude sitting in the lot at Advanced Auto in Lancaster. I called the number and left a message, half not expecting to get a return call by the sound of the person I talked to, but a few hours later i got a call from the owner and met him for a test drive the following day. He had bought it to do an engine swap and race, and decided to go to college instead...and couldn't afford to keep it, he had just finished it the day i called him, I was the first guy to drive it and stole it from him for cheap. I was able to get him to come down $500 by offering the Chinese payment plan of ONELUMPSUM O Cash, and he took $3500 for it, he was asking $4k... All good by me, well worth it for what i got, a nearly new car for cheap as hell.
The body has 170k on it, and plenty of bangs and dings, so i'm not afraid to take it to the bar...I don't literally care if someone dings the doors, like i'll notice more of them...Screw it, it's insured right??
The engine is a 20-30k mile JDM F22A mated to a 98 GSR 5-speed Transmission, I had it inspected and it passed with flying colors. It has new tires, all new suspension, exhaust, headlights (old ones cracked and foggy), and a ton of small things already done to it. The interior looks decent for it's age, and i got some old used OEM floor mats for it on ebay...
I NEED A KNOCK SENSOR FOR IT if anyone has one spare to sell....the JDM doesn't have one in the block and i need one to fix a check code i'm getting...though it doesn't cause any other problems...the light is just annoying.
The best part is, it looks like a piece of shit so nobody will mess with it, i'm leaving it that way...we have a lot of car break-in's where i live, so the worse it looks, the better...thought they're all too afraid to mess with the 3000GT...they know better to mess with a mans automobile like that, it'll get you killed yo...heh
The Pictures don't do it much justice up close...it's in need of a new paint job, and some love here and there to remove the dents all over...and the hood is pretty well f'd up too, but it works, I like it.
