89' Prelude questions

[Redteg]

Thanks Matt, I try to keep it presentable, although I know alot more work can and should be done on it.

Let's just hope the lude can be brought up to standard and then kept there.

8 gs for a 3gen prelude with 240ks fowar! u can pick em up much less then tat with much less ks on the clock down in melb!

[Redteg]

Yee, my g/f negotiated it down to $6,700 which isn't pretty bad considering that she's trading in her old car for that.

Unfortunately, the guy was insistant in replacing the factory stereo which wasn't working. So, instead of us saving a couple of hundred bucks and putting in something decent, he'll probably just put in some SoundMaster casette deck he pulled out of another car.

Ah well, it'll match the dodgy 6x9 job the old owner did to the rear parcel shelf.

Do all Gen 3's have a little lip on the front? I think this is missing it, gotta invest.

Redteg i got a shit load of close pics of all angles of the 3rd Gens.
Hit me with your e-mail and i'll show you!

Whats with this shitty stereo?
I got a new Zapco amp and boston 6.5 pros etc.
Not installed yet, got to get a screen and shit.

I can tell I'll be spending quite alot of time next week down at Honbits...

What were your old splits Jason? I thought you were happy with those.

I told her that she should have told them to leave out the stereo. Doesn't matter, she can have mine and I'll get a new one. I went and listened to a pair of Dynaudios, dunno if I wanna spend that much moolah yet.

Unless you get everything cheap as from Todd and Craig, allow me to source the parts you need man... I no longer work at concord Sapres, but I now have a lot more contacts.....

Thanks Matt, I just don't want you to have to go out of your way. All I'll be getting is picky little stuff that only I can see needs replacing hehe. I don't know the front desk guys, only Arthur who changed my fuel pump and is an absolute legend.

The front lip is one for sure though, but I'll see when I investigate the car a little closer.

[LUD02C]

What pics do you want?
Just front end or what?

Yeh i'm happy with the FS-60's but they are going to the rear for fill (or my sisters impreza) not sure.
Need more power (thats why i got the Zapco amp)
Plus new sub, not sure what kind yet

[Redteg]

Yee front end would be fine, maybe one of the rear just to see if anything's been changed. I'm sure i'll have millions of questions once I actually spend some time with the car.

Be a nice brother, give them to your sis! Lifestyle have some nice subs, I'm going for a smaller, less intrusive sub for my spare tyre enclosure. They're not an easy thing to choose.

the 3rd gen prelude is great!
it's quick compare with other NA 2.0 car like galant NA, silvia standard
the 4ws is fun as i was driving it, and the ass was just like drifting in the round about.

the fans is annoying, as mostly when i switched off the car, someone came and told me that my car wasn't off.........same situation with my pulsar ET turbo with turbo timer b4.......

[Maltese2plz]

yer the 4WS romps all other steering!! great fun...
my friends always say 2 me ur car is still on or is that just the turbo... i just reply with yer its a turbo n nearly all of them believe me... no car sense wat so ever....

wen we had that kronic rain down in sydney a couple weeks back, i woke up 2 drive home to find just as i was getting out of my lude a 3 - 4cm pubble of rain water beind passenger seat on the floor!!

it was really strange as i had neva encountered this before, and i dont really know were it came from.... do mechanics do water tests to see if there are any leaks? or who does.........??

i need a rear window seal for the top of my window because when i purchased car it didnt have one, then i bought one from honbits then it fell off on freeway cause it wasnt glued properly... how much are they because i have forgotten, or can anyone hook me up with one.....

Cheers........

Check your sunroof rubbers and rear window.
Also i got my Audison wet from were the water runs down the boot seal and under the car...

Check that the plug on the boot chassis is not filled up with dirt etc.
Also if your rubber seals on your window and sunroof is ok then check the tubes from the sunroof...

What i mean is where your aerial and that is there is a 2 inch tube (for excess water from the sunroof) alot of the time they never get cleaned and it fills up and guess what you have a puddle in your car. Both sides of the boot have this.

You have to un-do your boot trim to get to it and wiggle it through some medal (the chassis) and clean it with hot water.

Any questions, let me know.
