Default Kinda Off Topic: The Prelude just got a sister ;)

So I'm contemplating taking the 'lude to the next level and shooting for fastest street prelude and have been looking for a daily driver to replace it. Well I just bought another car, not ready to be a daily driver yet, but I couldn't resist: 1990 Celica All Trac Turbo, 114K miles and beautiful interior/exterior condition. Has some problems (won't build boost, makes no power, smokes some coolent) but I'm almost positive they're all exhaust/turbo related. I'll post pics up later Now I have to decide how far I want to go with the 'lude once I have another car to drive. I love my prelude just the way it is now though, baking the tires with the AC on blasting the stereo ......decisions decisions......
I'll post pics of the alltrac tonight
I guess I could get a prelude shell, but that means starting from the ground up again.....it's that or I just get a hatch like 99.99% of the other people out there.....

Hey everyone
I'll have some pics up tomorrow. I worked on the car all night at the shop cleaning stuff, replacing stuff, etc......after all was said and done, it has great compression, runs smooth, smokes a little of something (might just be really rich) and is an all around awsome car. It was as I thought, the cat was literally baked shut, so it doesn't exist any more I'm hoping all that crazy backpressure didn't permanantly damage the turbo, but time will tell......
