Hi all, registered as a forum member today but have been lurking for a couple weeks.
Up until recently I drove a 98 Civic DX coupe (auto). Mostly stock, with a couple add-ons: intake, exhaust, stereo, HX wheels, other minor touches here and there. After blowing up two D16s in the past 6k miles, it wasn't worth fixing anymore. That was my first car, and it treated me well. 191k on the odometer.
So I started hunting for cars and decided I wanted a 5th gen Prelude. Problem is, a nice one is tough to find. Or at the very least, one with decent mileage that hasn't been beat on or riced out.
But I got lucky and spied this 99 SH on craigslist. The body is pretty much mint, as is the interior (after a thorough vacuuming and cleaning). Only 101k miles on it. $6k later, it's mine. The kid I bought it from left three iPods and a whole bunch of other crap in the car.
It needed/needs a little bit of work. The windshield has a big crack in it, so that's getting replaced tomorrow. I already changed the oil, new wires and plugs, intake hose clamps, wired up my stereo. Plus more cleaning, cleaning, cleaning (note: I still need to clean/wax the exterior).
That being said, does anyone have a grille and front emblem they would part with? Previous owner removed them and I like the way it looks better with them.
Icing on the cake is that I just got a job as a junior service writer at a Honda dealership.
I start Tuesday.
