1st time Lude owner, couple issues on '89 Si
Posted: Sun Aug 23, 2015 5:47 am
I picked up an '89 Si AWS w/5sp for $350 2 weeks ago for the sole purpose of driving from Seattle to Cedar City Utah and back (maybe), basically a disposable car. Other than replacing the battery and alt., a flat tire and leaky slave cyl. it drove flawless. So after 3k miles in 4 days I kind of like the car so time to address the other issues...
The clutch res. has to be refilled daily and the brake pedal goes soft within 4-5 seconds so new master cyl. and slave. I'm a little confused because the res. for the clutch is right next to the master brake cyl on the firewall on mine and I have yet to see the same set up on any other prelude? The car has 186k and as far as I can tell it still has the original master brake cyl.
next issue is no speedo and no cruise. when you engage the cruise button on the inst. panel the light does not come on and there is no cruise.
also the sun roof does not open but you can here clicks from both the open and close buttons. I already have a new motor for it but would welcome any tips on removing the headliner etc. The interior is perfect and I'd like to keep it that way...lol
Thanks,
Steven
