"Best car I've ever owned, but a little unreliable"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The car will not start if it has been sitting in the sun or in the heat for long periods of time.

Hose to radiator was replaced due to a slit in it.

Clutch is ready to go.

General comments?

The car is great, and I love almost everything about it.

It has been lowered so handling is excellent.

The car still smells brand new, and had only one previous owner.

Needs new computer, which is on national back order for one to two years.

I also own a prelude, and I recently had the same trouble with the car not starting if left in the sun for long periods of time. I took her into the shop, they found a small crack in the relay switch. Regardless of the computer I love the car so much.

Likewise, although mine would just not restart just after being shut off. It needed to wait. Honda tells me the fuel relay needs to be replaced. Other than that the car runs great. I also agree, interior seems to hold up really well.

My 1992 prelude is a 2.2 vtech imported into the UK from Japan. It too had the dodgy starting problem, which turned out to be a crack in the soldering of the starter relay. A careful application of the soldering iron sorted this problem. A replacement unit would have cost time and money!
