Default questions prelude

just bougfht an 89 prelude Si for 1500 white any problems arise that i shuld be aware of? i own a CRX with a swapped b18 that i did all the work including body, so i can do any work if needed. just looking for a heads up on the prelude... shes gonna be my daily driver ... has no wheel well rust at all but some body scabbing ....

*:EDIT:*
just drove it for the first time... they are fun to drive it sticks right to the road... nothing like the CRX... looks like the CRX needs a new suspension...

still looking for any info on bad poiints in the 89 PRELUDE

i just was wondering if they have a tendency for things to break on them or what not... also curious if you think this would make a good road vehicle ( i work on the road do about 800-1000 miles a week

i have an 89 lude. just drove a 1400 mile road trip. great car to travel in! my only problem was my A/C shell out! so the return trip was a little toastie! got great gas mileage with my bone stock 2 liter ....oh btw...has 241,000 miles so far and going strong. keeping clean oil is the key!

i have discovered one problem with handling...at high speeds the car tends to develop a push. in other words...it wont turn the way you want it to when you want it to. i found a chain link fence !

i have a leak in the gas line... or in the fuel pump area.... on top of the gas tank... haven't dropped the car but my friend who works in a garage said that it was the sending unit... but if it was the sending unit that was wrong then i wouldn't be spilling gas everywhere when the car turns on correct?
