Some info about my car. I have owned this car for about 5 Years now. I left is basically stock, untill February of 2001. In February 2001 my engine started to develop a small knock, by the time I got it home (about 2KM) it had progressed to a big knock. Long story short the only usefull thing that this engine is good for now is a boat anchor. So I went looking for an engine, but I didn't want the factory 125 HP SOHC engine, I wanted a Prelude 200 HP DOHC VTEC engine. It took a bit of looking and a pile of money but I got one. Next problem was, how do I make it work? It took 25% Time, 25% Hard Thought, 10% Tools, 35% Swearing and 5% Beer. It was a bit of a trick to make everything work, but in all, it wasn't too bad. I would definitley do it again. At the time, I left it an Automatic to save time and money. But it is parked right now awaiting a 5-speed from a 2000 Prelude. It should be completed by March 2002. UPDATE !!! It is now a 5-Speed, it took about 18-19 hours to complete, it feels awsome, but weird all at the same time. Thanks to Jody (my brother) for going through hell with me doing this conversion. I am also a member of: Toronto Accord Club CLICK ON PICTURES TO ENLARGE |
