1983 Honda Prelude review from North America
"Hondas are the best cars ever built"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to get the engine rebuilt because of a cracked piston. And the timing belt was ripped to little pieces by a little spring...... stupid thing.... and that's really about all that's gone wrong with my little beast.
General comments?
This thing has no torque!!!!!! None!!!!!! I'm thinking of dropping in an H22A.... that would be nice..... impractical, perhaps, but I don't care, and I also might drop in a turbo.....
