I'm looking for information on parts and tech for the Predude I picked up. Any of you folks found a site that has good people in it?

97 Prelude, but not an SH. It is the base engine with an automatic. Perfect car for a teenager. I'm going to have my neighbor check out the engine and determine the amount of effort I put into the paint work, base on the expected life of the block. If the engine isn't going to last long, I'll just clean it up and flip it. If it has some good life in it, I think I'll do a restoration on the body and try to get $8-9,000 for it.

QUOTE(PanelBilly @ Jan 26 2009, 11:11 AM)  97 Prelude, but not an SH. It is the base engine with an automatic. Perfect car for a teenager. I'm going to have my neighbor check out the engine and determine the amount of effort I put into the paint work, base on the expected life of the block. If the engine isn't going to last long, I'll just clean it up and flip it. If it has some good life in it, I think I'll do a restoration on the body and try to get $8-9,000 for it. They are good reliable cars, still fast, and easy to work on yourself. My 22 year old brother, as of a year ago, ownsa '96 Prelude S (base model) with the SOHC, non Vtec F22 and manual box. We just replaced the CV halfshafts last weekend. I agree that Honda-Tech is a good source of information, but the search function is key to the site. Houston-Imports.com is also decent for general tech info, but you have to ignore the chicken-crap teenagers and ricers on there. My brother is also a member of PreludePower.com, you could try checking that out. Unless the car is extremely nice and modified, I doubt it will demand $9,000 in most of the markets. Good luck, and welcome to the convenient and irritating world of Hondas. Pete |
