My new car (vtec inside)

Dreadi · 14 Sep 2008 at 19:21

Well after a long day yesterday (left my house at 5 and a bit of car travel and 3 train stations later, arriving at 11.30am) i picked up my new car!! There were a few little niggles that the seller didn't mention to me which i was bit annoyed about (cracked headlight casing and a few stone chips in the windscreen) but overall i'm very happy with it.

Its the 2.2l vtec model with all the standard toys on it (abs,pws,4ws,ac and electric windows/mirror/sunroof). The power is so much nicer then compared to civic and DOHC vtec puts a big smile on my face. Price wise, i paid £900 for the car and then paid £250 for the sound system (800w amp, 12" sub and up rated front speakers and tweeters with cross-overs) as i thought i'd only put it back in at a later date so all in all £1150. Only got the photos from the sales add but might get some more up later.

Let me know what you think, good or bad

Can't complain for £900

Is that CDA inline with the standard air filter, or is it just using the old airbox as a duct?

Althought not my cup of tea, the car looks quite tidy.

Haven't actually checked to be honest, im guessing it should just be ducting though ?

Dreadi · 14 Sep 2008 at 20:26

I very nearly bought yours but getting there was 5+ hours going from Milton Keynes to London then back up north to Yorkshire (try figure that out!)

(Both were up for sale in the prelude uk forums)

Hope your enjoying Vtec as much as me! Dont forget to sign up to the PreludeUK forums

You get all that for £900 these days? Bargin.

Nice car,

You get it from a trader or clean the engine bay yourself?

Not that it matters they are pretty bulletproof on the whole.

Fr0dders · 14 Sep 2008 at 21:26

Not quite sure you've bought the right car

how do you manage to get it out of your street with that hill being in the way ?

no seriously, stonking car for the money. Congrats.

What insurance group are the 2.2 ludes?

BigglesPiP · 14 Sep 2008 at 21:57

Dude! And to think my 146 was £1600. What's the mileage?

get back to school.

Great car. One of those cars I've always wanted to own but probably never will now.

After seeing "Confused" iirc, Prelude at the OcUK RR a few month back i do really like these, for that price it looks like youve got a bargain.

Morba · 14 Sep 2008 at 23:04

preludes are ugly imo

I always get the sense that there's something a little bit off about the front of these (the vent things?) and the later ones (headlights), but I still think they're pretty good looking.
