Over this weekend on my 199 Honda Prelude I, Flushed/replaced the oil, installed a new shift ***, oil filter, cleaned the valve cover ( that thing was CAKED in bad oil. was wayyy in need of a cleaning.) replaced the spark plugs with NGK iridiums, got a new cap & rotor, new vacuum tubing,replaced the knock sensor, fixed the random misfire, cylinder 2 misfire, let me know what you guys think of it so far! I plan on moving the battery to the trunk, deleting the purge evap, cruise control, and A/C. I also plan on wiring tucking. thanks for reading! Constructive criticisim will be much appreciated. :D

 

I should also mention my buddy NZXTInerTia helped me out as well, go check him out, he's got a pretty bitchin' Accord.

 

Oh you're so new... Go signup for photobucket and post IMG codes with captions. Glad I could help.

 

Good to see you taking some care and bringing her back to life! As you get to know and enjoy the car more, I am sure more mods will come.

Looks like it could use a good paint cleanup, especially the front bumper, good weekend project to buff it out and polish it well!

 

Yeah the bumper and mirrors are damn near pink from being oxidized haha. Yeah I have a lot planned for this car [: thank you!.

 

looking good. where did you order the shift **** from

 

why run the cheap oil? did you at least get synthetic??? you should be running royal purple!

 

Looks like a good start! What are some of your future plans for it?

 

Its a 5spd **** that I bought at walmart, replaced it with an OEM one on my Accord so we threw it on there.

The block had so much oil condensation built up in it that it needed to be changed asap, after a couple flushes using poor-in engine flush he'll run the good stuff. The filler cap was COVERED in white goop just from being outside all winter, definitely not a head gasket issue. I personally run Honda genuine, but I will be running royal when I go F/I.

As for plans, I really would like to do a manual conversion, Rims, re-painting the bumper and mirrors, Get the valve cover re-painted, Exhaust, fixing the stock airbox, headers, and a long ways down the road eventually a turbo.

 

Off to a good start.

 

gettin there bro! check out my 97 lude sh build, i'll be posting pics soon..

 

Thanks guys! I actually just re-place the upwind O2 sensor, and tonight I'll be putting the new Crank/Dampener Pulley. :D

 

ick, you had some nasty stuff under that valve cover. Thanks for saving a Prelude.

 

We actually just bolted on the spoiler today, then we're off to the RacersEdge to pick up some 20" chromies.

 

LOLOL. Don't listen to NZXTInerTia. But yeah it was pretty bad.

 

Welp, as you can see, I got a new Denso O2 sensor thrown into it, (No more check engine light! WOO.) The picture with the turbo is just a joke lol. But I do plan on going turbo eventually, also new crank/dampener pulley, Keyway, and a bolt. I'm bringing her back to perfect condition one step at a time. (:

 

Nice build

 

nice new parts

 

it looks decent keep up the good work g

 

Thanks guys! More soon to come!

 

Well here is a little more info for you guys if any of you are still interested, found out that my crank pulley wobble could either be A spacer missing behind the timing cover or it's internal ;/ praying that it's just a spacer, also just put in new headlights.

 

What company did you get the headlights from??

 

i would love to see test results comparing the oil...


i am not a believer in expensive oil at all

 

I got the headlights off of Ebay, but the brand name is Spyder. and P. Hunter I agree. I don't think it's any different besides the brand name.
