Just picked up a mint 98 Prelude as a dd. Car has 77k on it, so it's due for a timing belt/waterpump. How much of a pain in the **** is this gonna be? (I have a helms on order, but am just looking for 1st-hand experience)



Specs:
98 Base
Leather, oem wood trim
oem bodykit
77k
eibach pro-kit
koni yellows
dc f/r strut bars
generic sri

 

man..you are so lucky you got the oem kit .. I wish when i bought my car it had an oem kit on it. Well anyways the car looks great, have fun with it

 

shouldn't be too hard. I just finised up mine's a few months ago. as long as you have a Helms, you should be fine.

 

Im pretty sure you could wait another 10k miles before you have to replace them.

7yr or 90k. Just doing it as preventative maintainence.

I'm assuming that it's harder than in an integra, correct?
