I have power steering fluid leaking out of the (front) rack boot on my '88 4WS Si (305 K km). I wanted to get a wheel alignment (its pulling a little to the left but not wearing tyres or anything)....
Anyone got any tips for refreshing the window trims on my "88 SI prelude? they seem to be aluminium, with a black coating that is flaking off. I guess I can just respray them matt black but how do I...
Muhaha...my ass would be scraping the ground. Not good for an old fella....
I had a Gen.1 Integra (same year same colour) that the previous owners had attempted to lower and it just loved kissing...
man, these old 4ws preludes are a joy to drive (apart from shredding a tyre by turning too sharply round a steel edged storm drain). Only problem is when I'm alongside a big truck I dont think he can...
No I didnt try dealers, I guessed that it would either cost $300 or they would just laugh. Ended up getting local to make one up for $67 - Mt. Druitt brakes, Kurrajong avenue, great service...
does anyone know where I can get anything to match the long and winding hydraulic clutch hose on an '88 prelude? (like about 600mm ...Its got some kind of casing/bracket thingy in the middle 3rd but...
Yes, the solder quality is an odd thing given the overall build quality of the car. Mines done 280k km and drives brilliantly. The 4WS is really innovative and reliable (although not sure what...
yay! found it, MUCH easier than on the Integra. As in i didnt have to lie upside down on the drivers seat to reach it...i think it was a combination of relay plus dodgy battery terminal, been ok so...
ahhhh yes that makes sense...... I did that a while back on my gen 1 Integra thanks to OzHonda forum wonderful instructions.... any idea where it lives in the Prelude?
Does this ring any bells with anyone?
my '88 4WS 2.0i has developed a random restart problem. It will crank to no avail -
once did it from cold, otherwise 3 x after running for 5-10 mins, turn off...
I have just bought an '88 mechanical 4WS Prelude - didnt really appreciate it until i got on a downhill series of hairpins (Hawksbury Heights/Springwood Blue Mountains) then it was a revelation, like...
Thanks for those links its great to know where to get help. hey, your Civics even older than my integra....
Confession time folks. I just discovered another button on the dash - yay, its a manual...
There are a couple of knobs with rubber covers beside each headlight unit but i'm assuming theyre beam angle adjusters. Theres a sticker that says to manually retract headlights (doesn't say how of...
No - they used to come up when I turn on the headlight switch on the column, and retract when switched off. Now there is no noise, nothing even trying to work.
What controls the popup headlights on old integras? ('88 DA2). Are they servo motor/mechanical linkage?
Mine decided to stay in the "alert" position even when I shut everything off. They still...
Har har lots of info on lowering - I want to UNlower (raise?) the suspension on my old DA3, its been lowered and it bottoms out too easily. It appears to have shorter (orange colour) springs on rear...
What a helpful crew!
This car has a rod linkage not cable shift, so its fairly straightforward. Theres no obvious binding anywhere.
I actually put a litre of oil in it this afternoon (must have...
Ok thanks for quick reply.
I forgot to mention that I lost a bit of gearbox oil when I pulled one of the driveshafts to try to give room to get the alternator out (maybe 1/2 litre) which I haven't...
It just started up......I poked around under the dash, pulled out what I thought was the relay but it said "wiper relay" so I put it back - could see the main one. The battery was getting low from...
