Hey guys im a new member. I live in East Tennessee. This forum has helped me learn a lot. So I figured I'd join and create a build thread in hopes y'all would share some knowledge and we could help each other. I have a 2000 Honda prelude I will be rebuilding over the next few months. It's my daily so I can't afford down time. I will be doing all the work my self. Im a family man so money is limited. So far I've got x

 

The car is completely stock with 150,000 miles. Only mods is a Megan intake with blox velocity flow stack, elcheapo Megan upper strut bar and focuz muffler. It runs and looks great however im burning 1.5qt between changes. I'll post pics and keep updated.

 

 

Nice, I am out in middle tn with a 92 hatch I have been working on here and there. Good to see others out in tn

 

Thanks. I saw some of your post about b16. Is yours a b series swap? I use to have a 91si with b16a. I love hatches there awesome cars. I've got a 91 crx with b18. It was towed a few years ago and when dude unhooked it they was a big rock under the Harmonic balancer and it got bent. I've had to many projects going on to fix. I hoping to have it going by next year. I just started a build thread titled apoor mans h22 build check it out. It's gonna take a few months to gather parts. Im probably gonna install exedy clutch kit this wknd I'll post pics

 

Yeah it needs some work and I am definitely a novice to working on cars. Some rust and wiring seems a little rigged.. the radiator fan is hot wired and I didn't know before I got the car it looks like the front end was welded back together.. its a b16a2 with dc headers and a huge exhaust thats way too loud lol. I got a new front bumper cover fenders and hood I have to put on then I need the car painted! If you ever want to offer some help I am here lol

 

Lol I wouldn't mind helping but im no expert either. Most the cars I've owned have been beaters when I first got them. i live in Johnson city where are u?

 

I am out in the Cookeville area, recently graduated college and have been applying to a few jobs out that way

 

That's cool. What did ya study? I wish like hell I would've went to college. After high school I was wanting to go to the Nashville auto diesel college. I ended up getting a job painting car rims. I was making good money and kept putting it off. Life happened I guess but it worked out. Im married gotta 8yr old Boston terrier and a good paying job.

 

BSBA in Business Management.. been working in warehousing/distribution since I graduated high school, so I am looking into finding a warehousing/distribution center supervisor/manager position.. slowly trying to learn how to work on hondas lol

 

That's awesome I wish ya luck in getting moved up and better job. Im by far no expert but what really helped me. I bought a spare engine (d16z6) or in your case. I'd try to find a blown b16a and buy a manual so u can rebuild. It's actually a lot easier than u would think. Most the specialty tools ya need u can borrow from AutoZone. Obd1 b16 is a real good engine to learn on. I love my lude but I'd feel more comfortable building a b16 hatch. This will be my first H series build so im having to do some learning as well.
