I baught a 94 Prelude S with 141k miles on it. Has a F22A1 in it.
Here is what it needs; Bit of engine work, only running on 3 cylinders(kinda). Has compression, changed plug wire, plug, etc.. could be injector, maybe rings? Windshield(Got one quoted, they come to house and install it, $163.. Got that cash already, but saving incase I need for engine.) Rear quarter rust(usual honda cancer) Drivers side rear quarter needs a bit of bondo Small dent on passenger door(bondo, or pop back.. both? lol) Front bumper(lol) Passenger side fender(least of my worries tbh) Drivers side CV Boot/axle (it clicks when you turn left, whatever though) That's about it really. I got it for $500, and drove it back about 2 hours. Not trying to dog on Celica's, I love Celicas and all, but atm the prelude running on 3 cylinders smokes my 7afe celica.. then again I haven't driven my celi in a few months.. And the prelude made it back on 3 cylinders and such 2 hours, celica can't drive an hour without blowing a gasket.. lmfao.. I love my celica though.. Sad i gotta get rid of it(or fix it for cheap cheap cheap)... But i'm prolly gonna part it(already got a thread) Pics. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() -------------------- I still own my celica, but i'm parting it out and junking it.. Or selling as a whole. Have a honda prelude now :(

Prelude issue is timing belt. So i'm replacing that as well, the water pump as well, and alternator belt... Friend has them laying around. Price of fix: $0. First off, when you need a car bad, are on a limited budget and all that jazz, a $500 prelude isn't bad. It definitely looks like it's going to be a project and need some work for a while but it's still a decent find I think. Maybe not for a DD, but ya do what you gotta do I guess. So let me get this straight, the whole issue was a timing belt? What made you think it was a bad cylinder, or was this something new that happened? I'm a bit confused. Good luck with it all though. No idea. But it's about a tooth off time. PLEASE tell me your not putting USED parts....ESPECIALLY a timing belt, on your car. And if I were you, I would triple check to make sure it was ONLY one tooth off. I'm not sure about the Honda F series motors, but some Honda engines are an interferance enigne. If it had jumped more than one tooth and IS an interferance engine, you might have some banged up valves. Bite the bullet and put a NEW timing belt on that motor. ~$30 at Auto-zone. If you need, I get a discount there and can get one for you. Don't cut corners with a Daily Driver. -------------------- ![]() www.tweakdperformance.com contact@tweakdperformance.com |
