01prelude627

I am looking to buy a prelude thats had some work done to it. I know that its not smart to buy one thats been worked on without knowledge, but I don't know enough about it myself to tell..

this is the basic description of the car I am looking at

48k original miles. car itself looks pretty clean and cared for.
inside work was done by PNC racing. He sleeved the block. Weiscol pistons, oversized injectors (440), Stage 2 clutch, AEM programable computer, Jackson racing supercharger. Nology ignition wires, AEM V2 cold air intake, header back DC sport ceramic exhaust.

going to check out the car tonight.. so any feedback/advice before i go and possibly purchase would be nice

Thank you all in advance

I wouldn't touch a boosted Honda that's for sale with a 10 foot pole. You have no idea what shortcuts were taken during the build. You are just setting yourself up for an endless chain of problems by purchasing someone else's project.

drive it first, check out the place that tuned it, ask lots of questions, see if it all looks clean professional and legit under the hood, not pieced together or rigged up. quality name brand parts and a clean engine bay and a reputable tuner are good signs the engine was done RIGHT. ie ANY boosted build with a stock engine i wouldnt touch because its a pretty big indication of cut corners to save costs rather than to build it the right way

find out who sleeved it and who did the machine work, then if the guy can prove it was doen tehn consider the rest. No sleevy sleevy, no buyey buyey.....
