You are buying the CLEANEST
most well rounded
2000 Honda Prelude you will ever find. ILLINOIS
• I have owned and cared for this car as a member of a family for 10 years. The car is in excellent mechanical and physical condition. I would say a 9/10 mechanically and physically.
• Paint color is a rare crystal blue metallic and as you can see from the pictures looks beautiful on the car.
• I get compliments on a daily basis about how clean and well put together the Prelude is.
• The car is built to be a daily driver, reliable, functional, and fun to drive.
• The Turbo kit was installed and tuned professionally by the most respected shops in Chicago. It rides so smooth, you would think the Prelude was turbocharged from the factory. Drives like a stock sti or Evo.
• Turbo spools up quickly and delivers power smooth and consistent throughout the entire band. I have never had a glitch or turbo spike.
• Starts up every time no matter what the weather conditions, runs like brand new. This car has been meticulously put together and tuned to drive and enjoy.
• Idles perfectly from starting fast idle to idling at operating temp.
• check out the pictures of the engine bay you will see the time and effort I spent keeping the intake temps and engine bay cool.
• I heat wrapped all the piping, turbo manifold, installed a quality turbo blanket, and then a heat shield blanket on top of that to, not to mention wrapping the entire down pipe up to the cat. I even sprayed the heat wrap with heat resistant paint.
• This makes the engine bay temps feel just like the Prelude was stock, which keeps the reliability and consistent temps even in 100 degree weather no
pr oblems.
• Suspension is brand new and incredibly solid. Handling is one of the Prelude's strong suits in stock form already. With this custom suspension, it feels like it is stuck to the ground on turns/corners (again, very similar to my Z which is a purposefully built track car). The drop is absolutely perfect with no rubbing.
• Most importantly, the transmission was professionally rebuilt within the last 6 months or so and operates perfect. Each gear shifts smoothly with no grinds or notchy feeling. (tranny is a common problem on used ludes)
I will list the mods below, most of them have been installed within the last year including motor, turbo kit, fully rebuilt tranny, lip kit, carbon fiber hood, wheels and tires, etc...
THE REASON I AM SELLING THE PRELUDE
I no longer have the same passion for the modding hobby anymore so I felt this should go to someone whom will appreciate it and enjoy the Prelude as much as I have. I sold out and purchased a 370z (I thought the Z would be a lot faster, but after driving it and the Lude, seems like the same power output).

Minor Imperfections
• 2-3 very small door dings only noticeable right up close
• remote start works every morning to warm the car up. For some reason it becomes intermittent throughout the rest of that day. I have no idea why but it has always been this way.
• small imperfections in driver side leather seat
• Paint matching the lip kit is difficult, so there are slight variances in color compared to original paint. Only noticeable if you know it and are looking for it.
• small chips on the very bottom of the front lip which have been touched up and can only be seen if you bend down and look right at it from up close
• switches are no longer in use, they were used in the past for misc but can still be hooked up to power anything. They are LED switches that light up in blue
