1989 Honda Prelude 2.0 Si review from North America

"Fun, Reliable, Great, I'd highly recommend for a first car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When I first got the car last May, it had lots of things wrong with it. I had to replace my starter, my clutch, and all four brakes. Cost me a couple grand, but it ran really good. A month or two later my lower radiator hose went out and I had developed a power steering leak. Not anything real bad as to I've read about this happening to Preludes of that year. After I fixed the power steering line, I got a new oil pan (was leaking pretty bad) and since then the only thing that needs work is the suspension. I plan on dropping in a J-Spec B20a in the next month or so hopefully that will give me a fresh start with a new engine.

General comments?

One thing I noticed right off the back was this car has quite a bit of power. Not your F&F fast, but comfortable fast. I've pushed it to red-line a few times and felt like it was quick enough for me. It is quite a weird feeling still, driving this yellow Prelude with power windows, door locks, sunroof, etc. instead of my old Toyota Celica.
