Clean car, only a few more years and it's considered a 'classic'. I hope I can keep my lude until it hits 'classic' status. I would try and save up the money you would get from selling it

My first car was a hand-me-down 86' civic hatch.

i plan on trading this in for the down payment on a 5th gen... the list of things going wrong with it is starting to seem insurmountable... i want a car that doesnt require ear plugs to drive... and the rattles... man it sounds like you took a bucket of plastic and bolts and set it on top of an unbalanced washing machine... def looking forward to the peace and quiet of an unmodified prelude

Sleeper.

Very nice condition. The seats look perfect which is rare. Espically on the drivers seat. To bad it's not the Si though.

If you are interested in selling it though, look to do it down here in AZ. Those things go quick down here.

Nice, I had an 88 DX hatch and an 89 SI. I like that body style-- a lot.

i am probably going to get another one in the future, but i need a reliable daily before i start trying to restore one of these things... once i get the prelude, and then get it to where i want it, i can start saving up for another hatch.. something to have alot of fun in and not worry about getting it to work the next day

Clean car, shame you selling it though. I would boost the crap out of it.

chuitron · 10-19-2010, 05:35 PM

Very nicely done liquor. Keep us updated when you get the prelude.

liquor Assassin · 10-19-2010, 10:53 PM

i am more partial to n/a setups but i would never get tired of a s/c set up either, i have had my dream engine blueprinted in my head for 3 years since i got my first hatch

back when i had them both, then, like i said before that ls motor stripped out the timing belt, so i tossed the gsr from the white car, basically turning the white car in to a parts car

i miss that valve cover

thats one clean body EF.
I had a 91 Si, sold it to some kid and a few months later I saw it at a junk year wrecked.
