Hi there fellas,

I came across this 1999 Prelude SH model. It's an 5speed along with a H22a and has 166k miles on it. By the pictures it seems like in a really great shape. I havent went to check out the car yet. I plan on to. By the pictures I was wondering what can you guys tell me and what to look out for with the H22a with high miles.

Reason of buying is gas price going up and the price for this car is a steal. How is the gas in this things by the way?

 

they tend to burn oil when mileage is higher, and as far as gas mileage it's not that fuel efficient. Manageable for day to day, but don't be surprised to get less than 30MPG on the highway. I'd say mixed driving depending on how peppy you drive, you're looking at realistically 25MPG.

 

Burn oil, this is normal for all h series?

 

Ya its because of the way the sleeves were built/ If you want gas mileage get a civic hatch with a d15

 

I like the look of a prelude. Anything is better than 20mpg than my current Jeep.
