Hi all,
Here's a long story short. I just traded my beloved '90 Prelude on a new Kia Rio for the missus. Hard to resist when the dealer offers you 5 grand for it. That left the wife with a brand new car and me with the ED Ford she didn't want anymore. Bummer! The happy ending came when I spotted a lovely '91 Integra LS 5speed at a dealer for $5999. I offered him 3 grand and the Falcon and I got the Integra. It has 202K on it but the log book has every service on schedule up to 193K. It had a rebuilt motor, clutch, CVs, timing belt (about 5 grand in all) done at 197K according to the reciepts that were in the glovebox. I still miss my Prelude but I love the Integra. Not as plush as the 'lude and nothing beats 4WS but but it really is a sweet ride. Completely original too. Love my Hondas.

Sorry Sensei but the Rio doesn't belong on a Honda forum. I'd put some 'teg photos up but it's bog stock and probably not too interesting. It does have receipts for five thousand bucks worth of repairs including an imported B18B, new clutch, flywheel, CVs, timing belt and a heap of other work done 10K ago. It certainly feels pretty fresh to drive. I think I'm falling in love :-)
