future h22 swap

All 5th gens and most 4th gen preludes already have an H22
Unless you're doing the JDM H22A SiR S-Spec or Type S swap
Or you built up an OEM H22 ?
Or you're swapping the OEM H22 from a Prelude into another vehicle?

*technically* it's my girlfriends, but since we swapped it to a manual a few years back she hasn't driven it. Pics will be taken soon, I just have to clean a couple things up (like the notorious flappy door handles) before I do.

notorious door handles? 10 years of owning my Prelude and I never had this issue. I guess I got lucky!!

SpeedStars 03-24-2015 02:35 PM

My passenger door is flappy...its like a 3hr fix but CBA to do it

No longer a Prelude owner. Sold a car with $20k in receipts for parts alone. All installed brand new and have less than 500kms (not 500,000....500). I was hard pressed to get the $7000 I needed out of the car even with 20k recently invested into it....sad to say but these things are worth nothing now even with completely built motors.

Gregboat 03-25-2015 10:42 AM

Jesus man.... $7000 for a Prelude as great as yours...

Its honestly disappointing to hear that. :QQ::QQ:

What are your plans now?

It was sad to see the car go for so little. It was listed for much more (started at 12K I thing) but with the market the way it is, the age of the car and the type of people who are general interested in older Hondas it was a hard sell. I got what I needed out of the car so that I can pay off the wedding stuff so I'm happy.
The new owner seems to be very pleased and realy interested in learning more about the car so I was happy to see that.

Now I'm going to keep working on the IS300 :)

No matter what one is never investing into a vehicle. Cars depreciate, unless it somehow becomes a collector car and even then most of the time it has to be all original.
I'm not an expect on this though and I'm known to be wrong quite often.

I'll probably letting my Prelude go for 500 bucks, hah. No market for Preludes.

Exactly. The Prelude was always a less loved Honda so its hard to sell.

underscore 03-25-2015 02:19 PM

Watch, we'll all sell our cheaply now because there's no market for them, and then in 5 years they'll make a comeback as a car people forgot about.

Yup, be like EF civics. Hated until fairly recently, now everyone wants one.

First line:

"Certainly forgotten by sports car fans, the Prelude!"

**Starts looking for JUN Parts**

Pkdabest 04-05-2015 12:14 PM

Question for all of you prelude owners. My check engine light just came on recently and the cars been driving about the same as usual. The one thing I've noticed is the gas mileage going to absolute shit. Is it safe to assume that it's the O2 sensors?

Why don't you just quickly check what the CEL is for using a paperclip/wire or an OBD2 reader.

Generally speaking any CEL will hurt your fuel mileage as your car goes into limp mode. There's a shitload of possible causes for a CEL so pull the code and find out. FailFish

european 05-21-2015 09:50 AM

Check your CEL code and resolve the issue



PS.. I want 4th gen SRV!

european 05-25-2015 08:02 PM
