Righty ho ladies and gents! I've bought myself another Honda, not just any old Honda (although this one is old lol) it's a 1987 Mk2 Prelude 2.0i-16 One of the last Mk2's made it has a non-VTEC B20 engine, Cool as fark factory single wiper, Shagpile carpets, SUPER comfy seats, optional amazing squidgy spoiler and . . . . . FLIPPY LIGHTS!!!!! Haha Actually LOVE this car already. It drives like new, no really, it does. 54K on the clocks and it's pretty much the definition of immaculate. Plans are: To lower ASAP Source an HKS Windmaster exhaust Find some temporary track wheels Source some old skool Deep dish SSR wheels 15x8 or x9 ET's in the minus's Then get them to fit lol Hopefully it'll be looking fresh as for Japfest. Time for some pics!     Retro wheels!  Single wiper! + weird bonnet spoiler thing  LOOOOVE the spoiler   Interior is IMMACULATE  Woot!  |

Nice, I've got an '86 1.8 EX Mk2. Cool man, You got any pics? Anything to look out for on them? I'm buying a front bumper off an Integra of the same year tomorrow and gonna see how it fit's as I'm not keen on the standard MK2 one. What colour is yours? |

That does look special & deserves to be kept healthy.
Very period retro wheels even if Honda probably offered nicer options. I keep thinking of their 13" BBS mesh look-alikes or Machined finish 3g Prelude Alloys.
Those late 2g Prelude bumpers are pretty different with that angled back front face. 3g Accord?
Preludepower?

lol Yea very James Bond! I like the tilt tho! Scrapped the Integra bumper idea but I did manage to get the front Lip off of it. Moved the number plate lower and removed that god awful number plate holder now, looks loads better. It's so damn nice to drive, I just can't stop driving it! |

Found my self a complete BARGAIN! VERY rare set of Rennsport Carving Stark II's which are made by Work wheels Japan. 3 Piece split rims. Refurbished and have brand new T1-Rs on.  Then fitted my coilover sleeves! Didn't even bother with the adjuster part on the rear, just swapped the springs lol I LOVE the results! 100% happy chappie!     |

Looks ace! May have to think about one of these after my BB1 is finished (lowered, toms split rims, etc).
How hard have you found it to buy parts for it?

Thanks! Loving that, those wheels look great and set the car off a treat. Yea I'm glad they didn't look too modern. This looks very good! Have alot of love for these old preludes. I love this car so much even after less than a month of ownership! Love the wheels, love the lip, Love the car!! Old Honda's have such character!! Love it! Yea and it's got a few bits that you don't expect it to have like variable power steering and a super awesome single central wiper  Looks ace! May have to think about one of these after my BB1 is finished (lowered, toms split rims, etc). How hard have you found it to buy parts for it? Mmm Tom's splits. I LOVE wheels. Hmm well some parts like brakes are easy to find but I want super rare JDM goodies so I have a man in Japan on the hunt for wheels, lips and sunroof visors Thank you! nice car but nothing "shakotan" about it for the moment 'Project'  Next up is coilovers for MOARRRR LOWWWS! Well today I rang Gaz Shocks to order my coilovers. They have to be specially built which takes a few weeks as there has only been ONE set ever made before. It's the GHA KIT.  Super excited to be able to slam the curse word outta the 'Lude lol |
