you should buy this for parts: http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/nv...741566770.html

h22, 1 pcs, strut bar, intake, exhaust... part out the other parts and you'll be ahead.

when are the rims going on?

Yeah I was going to buy that before I bought this car but the car has failed aircare so many times so something must be up with the h22 in it. As for the rims they will be going on soon I'm going to be dropping them off at the shop hopefully next week to have them professionally redone. Any updates on your car ?

Edit: I think e-mailed you about those EX-R rims ?

Damn. for 8oo bucks you would definitely have plenty of sweet parts, you would come out ahead if you bought that parts car

Hahaha yea I guess so! I was just about to e-mail you back... No updates on mine really, went and saw it about a week ago in storage and started it up. Going to pick it up tomorrow and take it through air-care. I might be going to Calgary for work for few weeks so I'll insure it when I get back from that.

Got these wheels and got a chance to chill with Farhad ( 604_SE )

Update !!!

Wow its been a while since I have been on my own MRT. Anyways I ended up picking this prelude up over the weekend from the original owner with only 100,000kms. Turns out I'll be doing a H swap sooner than I had planned ! Unfortunately there will be no 5 lug conversion as I still plan on using the racing hart rims for the summer... So stay tuned everyone !!

[rkcb7]

So the tear down of the prelude is complete, all the parts have been parted out and the shell will be off to the scrap yard within a day or two ! I would like to give a special thanks to my buddy Rahan for his help with pulling the motor and making this all possible. Here are some pictures of the motor being pulled from the prelude....






Thats all for now. Its time to freshen up the motor which will be done slowly as I have a busy schedule and will only be working on it in my spare time. So stay tuned !!

Nice! H swap FTW.


Any pics on the C2s? They're Evolutions right? Just wondering what the specs were and how they looked.

Yeah they are the evolutions ! Checked the back of the rim and it says 17x7.5, currently have 205-40-17 tires on em. I took a quick pic of them since there's so much stuff around them lol.

Was the prelude a base or SH model with the ATTS system?
