Now I've never worked with Certafit, but I hear their pretty good. Maybe give them a shot? My friend used a couple parts off of Certafit.

+1 for the guy that said check out part-out cars

Build looks sweet.

What do you plan to do with your quarter rust? I have the same problem and I need ideas

Good luck bro. I hope to pick up my second lude in a few weeks. Doesn't require much, just some TLC.

Alright...I kinda figured.

Pretty sure the previous owner of my car attempted to fix the quarter rust with Bondo...looks awful.


Guess I got some body work in my future

Kind of a weak update. But an update none the less...



The header painted with high temp paint... Also took all the studs out and refinished them

Lol nothing. The high temp paint means that the paint i put on the header can withstand high heat... Its just for looks... Terma wrap would be a better way to go if your looking to stay cooler... Ill eventually wrap mine.

Ok guys one of my buddies came over and helped me out with my exhaust! We got that on but have a really really bad exhaust leak on the mid pipe where the flexy thing is. Made the car sound all leaky. Also when driving it, it was doing the hesitation, so we pulled the code and it was a 4 and 2. MAP sensor.

No body has any suggestions or insight?? i like to hear it guys.

One more thing, I am thinking about keeping my polished OEM wheels, and just getting new tires. the only problem is the gap between the fenders because im lowered 3.3 in the front and 2.8 in the rear. Should I just rock some spacers to fill the gaps a little? Or just leave them kinda sunk in?

Also Im thinking about painting the car pink for breast cancer awareness. Since the prelude has been labeled a "chic" car by some people. What do you think?

I personally like the look of the lowered car, but not to the point where the tires are "tucking" in. I like the stock wheels best...in fact I am looking for another prelude atm.

My advice is this: do what you want to do, not what others want you to do. I don't think pink would be a good color, but if you want it, go ahead. I like championship white the best

This should take care of my exhaust leak! Im cutting my old pipe and putting this new piece on. The only way it will leak is if i **** up when i weld. lol

Man I wonder how many kids at my high school know how to weld? Im way advanced!
