ekim952522000 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I love reading build threads and since I am building my new car I though I would start one. I just got home with the car about a hour ago after driving 8 hours round trip to go get it. So I will post more pictures as I start to do work to it.

ekim952522000 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Ok so I picked up a engine tonight H22A1 and I was soooo Impressed I found a used honda engine that the TPS sensor was not broke....Well I broke the dam thing taking it out of the truck...lol Now I just need to find a transmission. Oh and I discovered that honda strategically placed the hood prop on the prelude so that you would catch it with your elbow and the hood would coming slamming down on your head....

jmeris Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Wait, it's almost been a week...you haven't scrapped this prelude project yet in favor of a different build? You've done a civic (two of them), had a DC2, and a Prelude, what's next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekim952522000 Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Don't forget I had a DA for about a week. I will admit I have a little bit of race car ADD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Graham!!! Mike, Did you sell the coupe to someone local that will be racing it with us? Anyone know a rough count as to whos going to be in H2 next year? I might not be here for the entire season. Half of my Squadron is going to be sent to Germany for 4 months next year so that is going to suck. No points for me so I might just do TT to not get in to anyones way. We will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithg Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Nice build, good luck with the project. We are building a time attack Prelude ourselves with a tubo K24/6spd. It won't be legal for anything but Time Attack and Nasa ST/TT. I have a USDM Prelude trans with a quaife LSD for sale if you are interested. keith at hasport dot com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
