The love affair...
Posted: Wed Aug 11, 2010 6:13 pm
So I just got my Prelude, one week ago tomorrow. And I know I sound like one of those girlfriends who counts how long they've been dating their boyfriend, but man, it's fun.
First the bad news...
1st and second gear seam to high-rev too fast, and I gotta go into 3 faster than I'd like too. But I want to buy a performance clutch anyway.
There seems to be a transmission leak. I cleaned the undercarriage with a cloth, and it was filthy. Black stuff too, so the tranny may be on its last leg. May need to replace.
Now the good...
I've been without a car now for about 6 mos. and before that I was driving a little 96 Tercel. The Prelude ROCKS. Brings me back to when I was a 21 year old young buck.
The Prelude gets more looks in its stock condition than a lot of tricked out cars. All the racers seem to notice when I pull up to a light, but few want to test it. I've even beat
a couple of Mustangs. (Too heavy)
Now a question:
Anyone know a good website where I can find performance parts for the Prelude? Again, its an '89 2.0 Si 4WS.
Thanks all!
