New here and selling the RWD Prelude in July 2010 Super Street
Hello everyone, I'm new to the site and wanted to say whats up and talk about my car a bit too. Its for sale and I'm about to start on a new project. I am selling my Prelude that was featured on this month's issue of Super Street(page 106 and 107). This is not a joke, I am the owner and will entertain reasonable offers. I'm new to this forum and to NC, so I wanted to say hello to everyone here and ask if you have ideas of how to sell this car so I can start on the next project.
The car can be read about in the magazine, and has had additional upgrades since the article was written. The additions include a new hanger bearing on the drive-shaft; the seat bolsters have been color matched to the paint; battery cables and fuel lines have been re-run to be tucked away out of view; new battery; and it has a new computer basemap to break in the motor. The car has just over 90k miles, but since the 2 and 1/2 year build, it has less than 200 miles on everything (motor, fluids, rear end, brakes, wheels, tires, shocks, paint, battery, seats, stereo system, everything). In essence, you are buying a Prelude with 200 miles on it.
For those who have not read this article yet, this is a H22a4 powered (matching #'s motor) that has been fully built and balanced for high boost 20+ psi. It is easily capable of 500+ RWHP. Currently has 300HP on 10psi so the motor can be broken in properly. It uses the 5-speed transmission from a CRV and with a custom drive-shaft and 8.8" rear end has become the only Rear-Wheel-Drive Honda Prelude on the planet. It does not look crazy, in fact, I built it to look somewhat stock - except for the custom Tenzo-R 10" wide wheels in the rear. Custom fiberglass interior, and beautiful paint, upholstry, etc to make it ready for shows.
I purchased this car for $10k from its original owner about 6 years ago. Since then, the car has had over $50k in upgrades in order to make a one-of-a-kind front engined RWD Prelude. The car is in mint condition and has a perfect carfax report. Never wrecked, never abused, I am the second owner. I have almost all the receipts corresponding to the upgrades to the car, as well as extra parts and paperwork on engine balancing, etc. Also have photos from start to finish, and a pdf with every part and upgrade with cost associated with the build for any insurance purposes. The car has no mechanical issues and it has shown itself to be great on the road over the past few months (200 miles). I built this to be an everyday driver, but it could double as a show or race car. Sold "as is", you should be very happy with this incredible car.
I am selling this to finance me going back to school and to start another project, so I do not want to trade or get payments - cash speaks the best... I would love to stay in contact with the buyer of this car, as it has been my passion from start to finish. I will be happy to help with any information at any point down the road for help about the build, and can provide the shop owner's contact information as well if you want to speak with them about any future modifications you would like to do.
Feel free to email Jason at jason1modell@gmail.com with any REASONABLE offers. Thank you and feel free to email with any questions!

Just to let you know, that is not the only rwd prelude. There is a mid engine rwd turbo h22 prelude in Minnesota, that has been around for a while now.
Kinda open to best offer...
Being that I have 60k in the car, usually 'rule of thumb' is that you get about half of what you put into a vehicle when you sell it. It has been in a good magazine, and has the potential to win plenty of awards and win prize money if taken to shows, but thats up to the new owner (i dont have time to race or show it).
I'd be happy with 30k, but like I said, I'll take the best offer above or below my expected sale price.
Is the car any good for drfting as its a very interesting project with RWD Prelude conversions I have also seen the Mid Engine RWD version in a 4th GEN which looked cool..
My Only point from own experience is the handling capability to make it a good drift car

Not sure about drifting because I'm weird about breaking-in motors and dont want to be too hard on it with it not yet having but 200 miles. I did set it up for having fun and drifting/burnouts - has the posi-trac rear end with a stiff rear suspension so everything I could do in the build was done to get it ready for a good drift car since thats what I had in mind.
We did wire in the rear end into the ABS system for better street driving, which would get in the way of extreme drifting, but the e-brake is connected to both left and right rear so you could get it going pretty easily.

Sorry for not getting back to you there... I went with a limited slip (carbon fiber clutch traction lock system) because with a welded diff and 10" wide tires on the street it would be knocking, jolting and chirping tires every corner I took. Would end up breaking something unless drifting every stoplight turn.
Actually tried a mini-quick-change rear end first with a solid diff and it was brutal on the street.
The welded diff I was talking about was in the transmission for the transfer case in the 4x4 crv transmission, not the rear end. sorry for any confusion
