I picked up a 04 Honda Prelude

twin cam, five speed. Puts a grin on my face everytime I drive it. I paid a little too much for what I got but it was still cheap. I'm rebuilding the A/C system with a new condenser and compressor. I'm even tempted to run it on r12. Did ya'll know that you can have the evaportor out in about 30 minutes in these cars? While changing out the timing belt I found the timing belt sprocket at the crank was split along the keyway. Looks like a low quality timing belt change job was done years ago. Anyway, the car is showing 125k original miles. There is no rust and I got 34.6 mpg on my first long ride down I75 running between 70 and 80 mph. Biggest negative is getting in/out of it because it is so low. Did I mention what a grin I get when I drive it?
