NJ 1989 Honda Prelude SI JDM H22a swap FS/FT. Very rare car, don't miss out.
FIRST OFF, DON'T TRY AND TELL ME HOW MUCH THIS CAR IS WORTH. YOU ARE WRONG. 90% OF HONDA GUYS HAVE NEVER EVEN SEEN THIS SWAP DONE BEFORE, OR EVEN HEARD OF IT. IT COST A LOT MORE THEN IT COSTS TO SWAP IN YOUR LITTLE CIVICS. IF YOU DON'T BELIVE ME, RESEARCH, IF YOU STILL WANT TO TRY AND SAY YOU COULD DO THE SWAP CHEAPER, THEN GO DO IT YOUR SELF. THERE HAS ONLY BEEN 120 MOTOR MOUNT KITS SOLD IN THE PAST 10 YEARS FOR H SWAPS IN 3RD GEN LUDES. THIS CAR IS RARE AND ITS ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND 35 LEFT TODAY.
i want 4,000$ obo or trades for a car or bike.
No junk, no unfinished cars..I don't want to wrench, I just want to drive.
Ok, I had this car for sale last year but it was only a feeler, the timing belt snapped on me last year and I let the car sit for a year casue i bent valves. i just fixed it all up and am going to sell it again. I just replaced with BRAND NEW PARTS:
headgasket
valves
replaced all gaskets from the pistons up when i took the head off
manual tensioner conversion
timing belt
balance shaft belt and pulleys
water pump
all 4 brand new tires(that alone i spent 500 on$)
DONT LET THE YEAR SCARE YOU. THIS IS NO BACKYARD SWAP, EVERYTHING WAS DONE AT A SHOP AND DONE CORRECTLY. THIS CAR HAS GIVEN ME 0 PROBLEMS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT RELIABLE TO ME. NO SMOKE NO BURNS.
For sale or for trade. Car never gets raced. Rarely see's vtec. I delivered pizza with it so I could park my project car which I have since sold. Never did a burnout, never redlined. I take care of my cars, not like most hondas out there. I will listen to any offer a stock car, a built car, a b swap ready car, or anything but NO AUTO cars. Like I said, this is was daily driver and its extremely reliable so I'm in no rush to sell it. Read all of this before you call/text me. Don't ask a dumb question that I already posted the answer to.
number-8563927081
Location-Vineland, New Jersey. Google it, no I won't come to you. You come to me. I don't have the car insured and i don't have tags on it. You can test drive it if I see cash.
THE GOOD:
1989 Honda Prelude SI with a JDM H22 swap (id guess 60k on the motor, but thats a high guess)
Accord SIR transmission
Place racing motor mounts
Motor is very very healthy with around 50k miles. no smoke, dosen't burn or leak oil.
Aftermarket intake(not sure what brand)
Custom Raxle Axles
headgasket
valves
replaced all gaskets from the pistons up when i took the head off
manual tensioner conversion
timing belt
balance shaft belt and pulleys
water pump
all 4 brand new tires(that alone i spent 500 on$)
Walbro Fuel Pump
Mugen chipped ECU
Air/Fuel Gauge
H&R drop springs on tokiko blues
Honda fit rims wrapped in brand new tires.
Camber Kit
VAFC
Aftermarket tachometer
Wink mirror(I still have the old mirror and visors.)
Aftermarket steering wheel
Cat back exhaust(sounds really deep and loud)
2 1/4 piping
I still have the stock muffler
Two fresh wheel bearings front driver and front passenger
8k HID's(They were replaced to brand new regular headlights with high and low beams. My hid kit burnt out but I still have the extra headlight housings for HID's)
Also have stock bulb lights with light housing.
Power Windows
Xenon aftermarket front bumper with fog lights
Sunroof works
MSD Ignition wires.
skunk 2 weighted shift ****, and stock 89 prelude ****.
brand new alternator
Aftermarket Headunit
Interior in excellent condition
I have receipts for everything and I mean EVERYTHING from the previous owner. He has put over 8 grand into this car and everything was done legit at a shop. Could use a paint job, cancer spots are already bondo and primered.
More goodies, can't think of them right now.
THE BAD:
Could use paint, rust spots are bondo and primed already.
Indash tachometer dosen't work. I just use the tach on the VAFC cause its sitting on the cluster, and there is an aftermarket tachometer on the dash.
No power steering or AC due to swap. They make kits to bring back the power steering, not sure about AC.

I picked up one of these with 4WS, still stock from factory though haha, but it's such a fun car to drive! GLWS these are hard to find!
yeah man i love everything about this car, im just trying to get some cash in my pocket, i will never be able to afford this swap in the future and the odds of me finding another h22 3rd gen for sale is next to impossible
