1992 Honda Prelude Si review from Slovenia
"Great value, low cost sports car for money, if well maintained"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear stabilizer bar broke due to rust that made a hole where the rubber bushing comes on the bar.
Front rear discs were warped due to overheating, but I think they weren't original either.
Piston in ABS modulator head broke, so ABS was working in a fail-safe program, but I switched the whole ABS block (modulator body + pump) for $250.
Rear fenders rust, but that's true with all the older Hondas...
General comments?
It's a fun, comfortable on the road to drive sports car with really great handling (even my friend was impressed who is a Honda hater :) ).
This 2.3 engine isn't so much sports oriented, but still delivers good performance, if you want more, there's still the 2.2 VTEC...
