yeah, SH can be problematic normally, for any performance application i'd shy away

on another note, this one is beautiful

I'd go about 8,000ish depending on how well the car has been maintained, you should be able to get the vin and look it up at a dealership to see where and how frequent its been serviced and for what. How ever when you get The Prelude your also getting a few things you don't really bargan for, for one its shock knock that never seems to go away and all the heavy car jokes which it okay too. The SH is nice if your only doing mild performance gains otherwise you maybe forced to eliminate the SH part by taking it off the block and the trans, and basically convert it to a base model. Do you have some pictures of it? What color is it by the way?

If your not going to be modding it then its a very nice ride to have I've had mine for about 6 years and I love it. Do you do alot of Interstate driving with it? Because it sucks for driving at like 70mph for a long distance, it feels like it needs another gear when on the interstate because your going 70 and the tac is at about 3500 and the drone can be horriable--then again I have an exhaust system on mine and I didn't have a stock one on it before it was a manual transmission car. So it maybe fine stock. It's certianly a good buy. Something to look for are recall items, the Prelude had faulty seat belts so run it by your dealer to make sure its been taken care of. Also they have a notorious auto-tensioner on the timing belt that has been known to fail and bend valves. However I've never had that problem or known someone who has, generally it happens to people who change the timing belt and not the tensioner at the same time---which is flipin retarded cause if you've ever had to put an Autotensioner back in its mounting bracket you'll know its a pain and takes two people to do, you'd just as soon as buy another one dispite they $70 price tag...any way I'm off on a tangent.
