Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

I want some.

should I get some?

do they make some kind of film to achieve that effect? i always thought that was a natural thing with the headlights, like over time it might cause that.

idk why, it's just me i guess, but i just hate cloth cars. they're an absolute bitch to clean if something gets on it, and i just want to try a leather car for once. plus cloth to me is ugly.

You can get the leather seats for one. They were sold in Canada with them, you can buy them online.

idk. seems like a pain. i'd rather just buy a car that comes with leather. plus i don't have room to store the cloth seats should i go with the leather.

I see where you're coming from. I personally prefer cloth,  but you could always turn the cloth seats into PC chairs (What I'll do if I ever buy bucket seats) or sell them. But I do understand

i'd honestly rather take an e39 m5 or an e46 m3 seat off ebay and use that as a pc chair. and i need one soon. this one i'm sitting on has lost all support for my ass and back. it's seriously flat as hell.

i actually kinda like the stickers and the lights, but like everybody else said, not worth 5 grand. maybe 4 if he was ambitious.

To be fair there's only 40-60K on the JDM H23 that's swapped in

5K is just a starting point though really. I don't have an issue with engine swaps. When Justin lived here his Prelude had an engine swap and it was fine

@FuzzyYellow just curious does your accord have the led taillights? or is it one from the pre facelift?

It's not too expensive, I may do it just to see if I like it

 

Only issue I can see with the Prelude is head and leg room with the stock seats. (I'm 6'5") So I may have to buy something else for a seat after buying the car
