Death of Family. (*Now with Resurrection*)
|
That is possibly the most comfortable kind of car to drive and sit in I have ever driven.
Why is it dead????? |
It's ok, it's just a Prelude.
|
Thats what you get for living in a straight up thug town called Arlington. It is telling you to go with something German made to fit in with all the other Joneses.
|
My whore XGF had one of those with a JUN motor.
|
Poor car. I would definitely daily one.
|
I like those. Nice bodies. I'd drop a JDMz H22 in there.
|
4th gen is mo betta!

What does "non-moving" constitute?
|
Blown transmission.

Jesus of Nazareth, a Jewish prophet who claimed to be the Christ prophesied in the Jewish Scriptures, was arrested, was judged a political criminal, and was crucified. Three days after His death and burial, some women who went to His tomb found the body gone. In subsequent weeks, His disciples claimed that God had raised Him from the dead and that He appeared to them various times before ascending into heaven. From that foundation, Christianity spread throughout the Roman Empire and has continued to exert great influence down through the centuries.

http://www.boostedmiata.com/gallery2...drive_home.jpg Hey, is that your wife? Huh....you did pretty well! I pictured your soulmate to be more like: http://www.trrill.com/photos/drewcar...2820041523.jpg The bonus: she's got rainbow on!!! You know what that means, wink wink! Dupont Circle. Just sayin' Mr. Miata |
lol, brain. This is kind of like a fairy tale, even her expression fits in with the motif.
|
still hard to believe this is a 13yo car with 140K:

Who the previous owners were makes a pretty big difference obviously. But those Honda interiors do hold up like no other. I still remember my friends Pontiac 6000 when I was a kid which had just about every interior piece falling off.
|
How much did you grab it for?
|
Real niggas don't fux with automatics. Respek on the 5 speed.

Anyway, there is nothing better than a new windshield in whatever car you are driving. I got one in a 3 y.o. Ford Ranger after 60k, and I got one in my '90 turbo after 250k. Each time, it was love at first sight. May as well be a new car! |
I've been told that a new shift boot makes the car feel brand new.
I'll never know. I hate shift boots! Not really, I just threw mine away on accident and never got a new one. |

Not really, I just threw mine away on accident and never got a new one. we drove the prelude and then an rsx back to back. we both noted how the preludes shift boot looked new, while the 2005 rsx had one that was torn and looked worn...we easily took that rsx out of the running...it did have a very clean engine bay though. |

If I ever do wind up painting the car, I'll be removing the glass at that time, and will probably have new glass put in. Just don't want to do it before then, as I'll have to do through the whole ordeal again. I don't even know what it costs to have a windshield replaced. Seems like it'd be an expensive piece of glass. And no, I'm not going to crack it so that I get a free one out of the insurance co. There are limits to how low I'm willing to stoop. |
H22 FTW
too bad it weighs a million lbs |

That transmission had sucked balls from day one. I've been wanting the SH for a long time, but this works.
It was a fun car to drive, but it sucked balls to ride in the back seat. |

I know a local guy who has a built H22 swapped into a EJ civic with a 35R

What did you end up doing with the old one? Is it for sale?
FWIW, I sold my gf's 2001 with 144k miles for $3k on ebay. Sold as is for parts or repair. She crashed it and fucked up the front end pretty bad. I was going to keep it and fix it for a DD for myself, but it was more work than it was worth. She wants another one bad. She hates her Mazda 6 and tells me all the time the prelude was soo much better. |
Going to swap out a few minor parts and then sell it online, looks like I wouldn't be crazy to try to get 1.5-2K for it as is.

Be sure to check your vtech fluid. Fresh fluid'll help the nawz spoolup too.
