This is one you don't want to miss. A beautiful Lude with no rust, fresh red paint, new tires, and a fresh, that's right a fresh swap. This Lude was built originally as an automatic transmission 2.3 litre with power steering, air conditioning and really unreliable anti-lock brakes. I was a pretty boring Prelude. I swapped out the auto for a five speed and found a pretty rare H23A3. The H23A3 is a non-Vtec European only version of the 2.3 liter. It was used in European accord wagons and some other euro Honda I've never heard of. I have researched this engine, and im confident that it has some pretty good horsepower numbers. I have not had it on a dyno so I will not speculate. The compression ratio is 9.8:1. Low enough to turbo, and I have compression tested this engine and timed and tuned it, and it runs very strong, not an oil burning Vtec, all seals hold so it does NOT leak anything. The transmission shifts great. I left the stock exhaust on it, however I did Install an aftermarket performance exhaust header. It has two intake systems with the car the shorty shown in the engine picture and a cold air included. The entire engine bay has been scrubbed clean, the engine and transmission were power washed prior to installation. The car has no spare tire or jack. They were missing when I bought it. I can probably find a space saver and a jack to include if that's a deal breaker. The interior is very clean the previous owner didn't smoke in it but someone did & there are a few of those little burns here and there but they are in places you either sit or not in plain sight. The interior was pulled and cleaned. There are some small dings in the doors. The brake pads are brand new and it stops on a dime. I can include the power steering pump if requested. This car is a head turner. Great gas mileage but that should go without saying. The power sunroof works great, no leaking, and no rust. I built this car with care and attention to detail. I can be contacted at 815-713-seven, seven, seven, five, between 8 a.m. and 11 p.m. central time, my name is Tony. I can also personally deliver this car by trailer at additional cost. I urge you to call with your questions and voice your concerns before bidding. I will be more than happy to answer any concerns you may have. I am a 15 year automotive technician who is a stickler for detail. I would live to keep this car and boost the hell out of it but I just don't have the time, the room, or the $$. If I had the money/time/room, I'd have this thing running high 12s maybe faster.
