Hay guys
just trying to figure out what year model my gf prelude is there a few funny things on it that might give away what age its:
It has one wiper front windscreen
the bonnet opens like an Rx3 old school style
It is a 2.0L its an Si
I have reed on the chassis plate what year model but got confused because it has to plates with different year model on it one 1985 or 1986
Also what kind of engine has it got is it a B20A
Cheers

the compliance plate will tell you the year model. in your case its 1986, and the build year is 1985
eg. my em1 civic is 99 bulid and 2000 compliance
also the engine will be A20A2.well i think lol

no worries
is it just the rubber or the whole blade thing?
if its the rubber then yes repco n supercheap will sell it, but if the whole thing then just try a wrecker

hmm not to sure with that sort of stuff. but i had a 3rd gen prelude and my CV's were stuffed (making noise hard) so i went to this place in bankstown and i got then repaired for like $150 if i remmember correctly, so yeah thats some feedback for ya.
ask around for price and see what suits ur budget
