Hey guys..
I might be picking up a 5th gen prelude from the auctions tomorrow.. the frame and exterior seem to be ok.. though there is a notification that the car has some clutch problems.. I couldn't get inside the car to notice anything else though which is the sh*t thing.. but how much would I be looking at to replace a clutch on a 5th gen.. stock or aftermarket.. and how much do you guys rekon the car is actually worth from an auction.. no more that 8k perhaps??
cheers
I'm not really sure how much it'll be at an auction but i can tell you that to replace the clutch... it's gonna be very expensive. you'll want to get a heavy duty clutch kit and maybe a lightened flywheel while you're at it because it's quite a dirty job lolz.
they have to take the whole engine out to replace the clutch which is a B*TCH because that's where all the money is goin to... the labouring process hahaha.
goodluck!
to put a new clutch in (extreme clutch, the sexy pink ones haha) i got quoted around $750 so expect something like that or even higher! careful with buying cars at auctions, shit go is you cant take it for test drive, fair enough you may get teh car cheap but its cheap for a reason!
goodluck! :D
cheers for the info guys i got out bidded though.. lol.. some old lady won it.. i guess we know what happens when a women wants something that bad.. hope she just has the know how on what needs to be done to fix it.. thanks for the help guys
Ah anytime man. Badluck! You should've bidded even higher but it's not the end of the world. Hopefully you can find a clean lude sometime in the near future.
how much did that woman pick it up for? just curious
she paid 13.7k with the damaged clutch, so shes gonna need to fork out another 2k to repair it and then at least another 1k to get it on the road with road worthy and rego..
wow that seems a bit steep. What year model, how many kms, and wat colour was it ?
lol!! this is so true..a friend of mine, his wife wanted a prelude 4th gen from auctions, the guy paid way too much for it, simply cause the wife wanted it and it was red...!!Quote:

It had low milage so i guess that was the only upside.. 70,000 k's approx.. but still broken clutch from only 70,000k's.. someones been thrashing it -_-..
the car was silver with pin strips.. had after market lips front and rear and it looked like it had after market side skirts..
--edit--
sorry guys it was a '97 model too.. left that part out
that is a lot of coin for an 11 year old car
if it was the one at fowles, that car had OEM bodykit
yeh it was an OEM bodykit actually..
i saw that one online, looked pretty impressive. I bought my car from auction, had zero problems (i had full confidence purely because it was a honda)
just outta curiousity, where do u guys find these auctions ? ive been lookin for some to get myself a 4th gen but have had no luck so far xcept on ebay ==
at fowles:
3rd gen are 80% of the time rubbish
4th gen have minor to major problems
5th gen ones are usually ok with minor problems
is that a place, or a website ??Quote:
