Tips a shit, but my beat up Honda is still good to me.

/hg/, I need your help.
I'm looking at picking up this '90 Prelude for 700 Canadabucks. It has an '88 prelude engine in it; the car itself is at 340k kilometers, and the engine is hovering around 200k kilometers.
The Bad: >some small dents around passenger side front and rear fender >small rust spots around rear fender >passenger running light not working >power windows barely working >ded, rusted out muffler >rear wheel blown out, replaced with thinner width tire that has small leak (still have the rim, I'd just need to get a new set of tires at some point.) >paint looking worn out on hood >glovebox needs reattaching >door hinges worn out, door droops slightly
The Good: >So far as I can tell, engine and transmission are fine >Timing belt done 20k ago. >Idles smooth, no smoke at all, revs high with no issue >No rust or spilled fluids in engine bay >no rust on structural components, around shocks etc. >suspension and frame in good shape >Interior works fine, all electronics good >Has components for 4WS set aside, but uninstalled.
Overall, most of the flaws are either aesthetic, or relatively cheap to deal with (tires/muffler etc.) Is it worth it? What are the odds of me just getting completely fucked over by it?

Here's the engine bay.

On a budget of 3-4k, could I get a decent condition 5th gen Prelude or 6th/7th gen v6 Accord Coupe, and is there much difference between them outside of the extra space and cylinders?
Lucas Turner
please dont buy that
where are located?/post local craigslist depends on how you define 'reasonable' avoid any accord v6 with an auto from those years (they were all auto). actually just dont get an auto honda at all. by virtue of elimination get the lude.
Anthony Sanchez
Reckon it's on death's door?
Liam Ross
Yeah a fifth gen Lude should be doable at that price range. Probably the best bang for the buck Honda with the based H22.
Wyatt Wilson
Do mechanics usually have Honda rear diff fluid on hand? Need to get it done on my crv, grinding noise on sharp turns.
Henry Hill
Dealer should have the OEM stuff on the shelf.
Asher Anderson
Back at home. Where else will Veeky Forumss dankest memes come from
Looking for a manual, and by reasonable I mean reasonably maintained with no outstanding issues aside from whatever's due soon, and ideally without a beat to shit body or interior.
That is a fine automobile, I tell ya what. Noice HKS exhaust too.
Robert Rodriguez
Are you saying you're home physically or metaphorically in the thread?
>tfw no Honda Home It would be perfect if it was just a single story with a 3 car garage.
Jason Morgan
What are these pipes? power steering, ac? Can they be relocated?
1995 Integra gsr
Jackson Scott
That should be the AC. You can rip them out if you don't have AC. Can't really relocate them since they're solid aluminum pipes and will break if you try to bend them too much.

Fuck me, are you people that shit at driving?

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to post in the Veeky Forums. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Initial D most of the jokes will go over a typical poster’s head. There’s also nitgas' pessimistic outlook, which is deftly woven into their shitposts- their personal philosophy draws heavily from Takumi Fujiwara memes, for instance. The nitgas understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these memes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about driving. As a consequence people who dislike the Toyotaa General truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Itsuki's existential catchphrase “Street racers don't need girlfriends,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Iketani and Mako's love story. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Shuichi Shigeno’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
And yes, by the way, i DO have Toyota & Lexus tattoos. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid

>car sounds like a fucking diesel at idle i think my d16 wants to die
Juan Gutierrez
That's pretty cool how your EX trim is an si but it's not an EM1.
Lincoln James
ye, in canada the EX is badged as SI, and the SI is badged as "SI-R"
Luke Wood
That's dope, American hondas are fucking garbage unless it's a specialty car that goes for much more than it's worth.
Alexander Thompson
Honda trims were so weird at the time.
>EG coupe EX has literally the same engine and features as the Si like electric windows, cruise control, sunroof, etc >But only the hatch can be an Si
Lincoln Martin
Those leaves even got the EL, which is basically an EJ6 with leather.
Bentley Bennett
how so, if you dont mind me asking? the only differences im really aware of are stuff like the check engine, e-brake lights and so on using symbols instead of letters, and daytime running lights
ye. i think the SI - SIR thing kinda makes sense though, seeing as how the EJ8 and EM1 were the only two trim levels in NA that made more than the 106 horsepower that the other trim levels were making. kinda reminds me of the trim levels with the cobalt SS.
Cooper Johnson
They're exactly the same as hours, but dem badges though, the cali bois would be all over it, I see dudes with EM1 wheels on their EJ8.
Ryder Brooks
>as hours >wew as ours*
Sebastian Campbell
first gen EL was aesthetic. i almost bought one before i settled on the EJ8. i think it had the y8 as well, if im not mistaken
fair nuff. it's the best we've got, seeing as i havent even seen an EM1 since i was probably 10
Logan White
What's a reasonable offer to make on these, if any?
I think $4500 is a good offer on all those CLs because the rarity and condition, but if that dude's CM8 is is good running condition, consider it because it is a newer car for $4000, the black paint isn't faded horribly, and it is a 6MT.
Brayden Gutierrez
>CM8 has one faded light because minor accident That's still a nice car but i'm triggered now.
Bentley Powell
Restore it you silly goose. Wet sand and clear coat.

It jumped up a bit after Harvey but it seems to have fell back down. I want that $1.80 range again.
That high point was that middle of nowhere gas station to rescue mom when the Lexus blew up. Fucking Jews.

>tfw saw a clean white 3G Lewd
I had a good feeling those pop ups belonged to one.
Sebastian Edwards
what are some cheap cool things i can do with a fwd car i got handed a 94 civic ex with only like an aftermarket exhaust i think
autocross? fucking around in a parking lot? taking it to trails?
lol at that tiny rear window - why even bother putting one there instead of more bolstering? You've already ruined the driver visibility and no passenger is going to crane their neck to look out a hole that narrow.
damn that's a lot of backfire
Josiah Moore
>damn that's a lot of backfire just the way I want it
Elijah Davis
>backfire
you mean anti-lag
Parker Flores
Give me one good reason why a car manufacturer would deliberately build a car with blindspots this big.
Is it because of that rule that states that every new vehicle's roof should be able to support the weight of the car? Surely nobody designed this shitbox thinking its actually a good thing.
Logan Bailey
Toyota has done better :)

how ya'll been doin up in here?

>nihgas Is this some sort of Veeky Forums meme?
Alexander Turner
That's ridiculous. Should be illegal imo.
Chase Powell
notta lotta, been busy af with work. got a new front mount which fixed the slight engine wobble i was getting down low in third. otherwise car is running great. still in the early stages of tuning so it kinda of falls on it's face when I hit vtec, but the low cam profile rips pretty hard through 5500 rpm.
at least his crazy ex didn't set it on fire like my other neighbor's did kek
yo, how's the engine coming along?
nah, just put the stockies back on for winter because they're fitted with all seasons. The tires my other set of wheels get scary below 40 degrees.
Isaiah Murphy
It's an /hg/ meme nihga

why are 9th gen civics so ugly?
Connor Bell
I noticed too that the 8th gen civic is gorgeous, the 8th gen Accord is meh, the 9th gen Accord is gorgeous and the 9th gen civic is meh but it has the R18 so it works.
John Sanders
The early ninth gen looks like ass but I like the refresh.
Grayson Rivera
I do love the 9th gen Si sedan in particular, i'm a sucker for 18 inch rims on shitbox cars.

So how do you guys restore the interior of a used 90'ish car to something comfy and not super worn out feeling? Replace everything?
Cooper Baker
Get it detailed (if you can't do it yourself). Sometimes all things need is a good cleaning. If anything is torn, cracked, or broken - replace it.
Hudson Myers
It's in and its running. Need to adjust clutch tomorrow because im locked out of every gear but otherwise good to go!
Jeremiah Edwards
Where do you live, Silent Hill?
Benjamin Bennett
I hate these wheels. They would look so much better if they didn't flare out so much near the edge.
Grayson Reyes
If they had regular spokes like the 9th gen sport model had, they'd be even better.
Carson Nguyen
Yeah these look nice.
Camden Lopez
