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

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

ok 4500 max. doubt he's gonna get 5 grand on it. and i don't really trust engine swaps tbh. but whatever.

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

Trying to figure that out with the Lude if I get it. Him and I talked price, I love the car, and he's bringing it down this month. 99% sure I'll call it mine soon

@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

ever thought about a tint or smoke on those taillights? i mean even a mild tint might improve its looks.

i have, but most tint is kinda dark, and I don't want to do anything permanent. If i get the chameleon tint, I might try that.

i mean have you tried putting window tint on it? that might work the same way on taillights as it does on windows, and there might be some pretty light options.
