Hi, I am pleased to say that come Friday i will be the official owner of a 98 Prelude Base. One question i have is the octane of fuel that should be used. Am i right that i should use a premium high octane fuel. Also is there anything I should know before i take the 50 mile journey home in it. It will be the first time i have driven stick in about a year lol. Thanks.

Yea I can not stand driving an auto anymore it is so boring and slow, Especially for a 99 cavi*****

I might be too late. But remember to pump your tyres and yes high octane is great. Make sure you get some injector cleaner to get that mpg high...........
