I think that is Ken (94lude) selling that. I thought I saw a post by him on BAP that said he was tryin to sell one.

It looks as if it'll make 120, or even pass retail the way it's been bidding. I guess if they're not available anymore, then it makes sense. {Sigh}, someone wanna again try to explain to me why it is that Spoon makes parts for the S2k, teg and EK Civic (including all the ones made in the US), but not for the J-at-the-beginning-of-it's-VIN-number Prelude anymore? I dunno what's worse, that or Comptech making parts for the CR-V and not the prelude. WTF, am I missing something, did Honda subcontract all the work for the Prelude to non-Honda companies? I just don't understand.

He offered me $80 for it 2-3 weeks ago...Since I'm selling my lude...I won't need it.

As soon as Honda stops turning out a model of car Spoon stops turning out new products. The Ek civic stuff is no longer made, same with the DC2 integra... they just had a MUCH bigger stockpile of parts for the common folks Honda.

That makes sense I suppose, something in the back of my mind was telling me that they probably stopped making stuff for the EK as well, but did they ever make that much for the Prelude? I know it's looking a ways, but i'm curious. Still though, the thing with Comptech is a joke, you have to admit that, they never made anything for the Prelude, but oh, that CR-V is one hot sports ca- err, SUV????

Thanks for posting my ebay bid... the gasket was sitting in my room for over a year now... and never had a chance to install it.

Ahhhh... how I miss the Prelude... was such a great project to work on.

no problem, I'm surprised though, being that it's no longer made, I'd have thought it would at least surpass msrp.
