It was a Prelude S I had shipped from japan about 8 years ago, the guy i sold it to was unfortunately pulling the engine out and putting it in his ghetto ass 1991 civic, so my old baby is probably chopped by now....sad day lol

so it was RHD? nevermind lol just looked at the pic.

why the hell would someone spend 7k just to take the engine.. that doesn't make any sense. maybe took the engine and sold off the shell.

Yeah, he said he was going to sell the shell, i didnt really care though...as long as it got me in this mazda 3
Its crazy going from 16 mpg average to 40, and the stock tires seem really crap so im sure that 40 can go up a little. Do all the factory mazda 3's get slapped with bridgestone turanza's?

Very nice man. I love the Prelude also, I was looking for one of those for awhile but couldn't find any clean ones for sale. I just bought my iTouring HB also and same package as you last week and love it! Enjoy in good health!

No some get crappy Yokohama Avid S34D tires. My '10 with 17" wheels had these

Love the Mazda3's in graphite

Either way, the OEM tires are complete shit. Loud and terrible in rain/snow.

Anyway, congrats on the new car! Looks much better after tinting/blacking out, IMHO.

Thanks man, plasti dip and an hour can do some really interesting things, although at this point the car is so dark i almost have to go for black rims, but that might be too much! any one have input on that?
