How to spot a good 5th Gen

**stoned1974** · 23-09-2004 09:33 PM

now, i have the ears of a honda technican.

i knew of the semi auto problems before i bought i bought my 5thgen.

test drive felt great!! after bought, too many iffy cold starts led me to believe otherwise!!

got my 120000km service a very good honda tech, told me prolems i thought i had!!!

good reason to by off dealer = 3month / 5000km warranty.

drive it for a month to month and half, then get it checked out!!

use the force

cheers
paul

Jeez.... just teach ya mum how to drive manual.

That way, she will enjoy driving it as much as you will

Plus... manual is usually cheaper

Manual preludes ROCK.. Auto preludes are... Cool, and nice, but not as fun..... and can be costly if you try to make them fun...

I think we had the same problem with TwistedGirl - she needed an auto lude too for the same reason

ATTS models had the electoronic "lsd"s, named... ATTS - Active Torque Transfer Sydtem. Otherwise, you have to get a JDM H22a Gearbox, OR buy the LSD separately.

I just purcahsed my H22a JDM LSD off Ebay for $400.. BARGAIN
