hopefully picking up the prelude this wekend/bank holiday

just waiting to hear back from the seller but im sat here waiting cash in hand...

black 2.2
few aftermarket bits

but mostly standard with half leather interior!


sat on standard 16"s one needs a tyre

im very much considering putting my 16" ssr's on it

anyone know if there will be any greif running staggered 7" front 8" rear on the 4ws?

Sweeet dude cant wait for you to post some pics up what reg is it ??

I reckon those SSR's would look sweet on my DX lol ....

I bet will look mint...Will you be gracing us with its presence at Mondays meet??

Sounds nice!

Id say not, i fitted a 9.5j on the rear of my accord without too much greif

if i can get this all sorted by monday im all over it

its not the 8" that worries me its the 4ws and the 8"

True, but Im sure the 4ws doesnt steer like the front it only moves like an inch or so, try asking around on PreludeUK... im sure it shouldnt be a problem???

have been researching...so long as the offset aint too crazy will be ok

Good Good, so what Lude shape is it?? 5th Gen??

yup 5th gen 2.2 in black ....if this dont happen now ill feel like a major cock....still waitin for a reply of the guy

noice!!

Get that Shit hooked up and rock on down to Mondays meet ...

yeah man sweet, double check with mart but from what i've heard you should be ok with staggered, the only thing i'd be worried about is the cost if it does fcuk it up because they're a bi*ch to repair once they break, or just take the 4ws off (more stable when cornering), wider wheels on the rear might add more strain you see

defo looked into 2ws coversion....looks easy enough, just a subframe and lower arms...and junk the 4ws....

still no reply from the seller....obv aint to desp to sell....ill give him a few days and then buy another...im itchin to try vtec now lol

finally got the reply i wa waiting for...

goin up to blackpool tuesday....if its as good as it looks ill be driving it back

yes yes, get some pics and details up as soon as!

PICS FROM THE AD







and the import front lip

nice!! black too!

This will look soooo hot slammed on them rims polished all up.

looks like a good buy, well done!

Ive just seen a SiR version on PH ...nice

its a 2.2 ukdm vti...still not too shy

H22A5 185bhp.....and its 2ws not 4ws so i dont have to go through the greif of converting it back to 2ws

Nice....

sounds like a good one
just do the normal checks when you go down.
not so familiar with H22's but definately B-series honda's drink oil, and many people let them run low, which is a killer.
check the condition of the oil and blue smoke on the test drive. any excessive tapping/knocking - bad news
common sense really but its easy to fall in love and overlook these things!

cheers dave...ive built up quite the checklist...guys gonna wonder wtf when i break out the notepad!!!

haha yeah man. pull some unhappy faces, and make some ummmming and aaaaahhhhing noises, knock the price down ;-)
simple stuff like bald/low tread tyres etc, use them to bargain the price

a good mod i recommend when you get it/one, an aftermarket inlet manifold. i had an edelbrock performer-x on my b18c inetgra and it made a huge difference. i'd like to see whats on offer for the h22

Try Prelude UK, theres a Paperclip test ive herad of, this highlights engine management codes and will tell you whats wrong by a sseries of lights that will flicker across the dash. I cant find the link but PM Mart609 on TOA hes got a Lude, gave me some advice when I was seriously going to get a 2.2 vti Motegi.

Dave's usual check as well and right pull some faces knock them down by at least £300 - £400.

the 4ws should be ok, people have experienced the 4ws tripping out when going pretty low.
i've ran 18's on mine lowered 40mm i think they're only 7.5j tho not 100% with no problems
but yeah as your've said the 4ws conversions pretty easy if you just wanna ditch it

EDIT: didnt see the 2nd page

yeah basically, when you turn the ignition on and fire the engine up
make sure all the lights onthe dash, whatever it has, ABS, SRS, 4WS, TCS etcetc.
come ON then go off after a few seconds. if they stay on, theres a fault.
if they dont come on at all, then they could have taken the bulb out to hide the fault. so beware of that.

and yeah H22's also drink a bit of oil over time so look at that too.

mies also a UKDM (185bhp) and with basic breathing mods, (air intake, Exhaust manifold, decat & catback) i made 201.3bhp and 200.9bhp on 2 different RR's

cheers for the info mart....im hopefully goin v low on 16"s....maybe 17" if i ever find an affordable set of ssr professors
