Long time lurker, first time poster. Thought it might as well be a post to introduce myself and my motor!

The motor is a Honda Prelude 2000 Sport. Only the 2.0l 16v. No Vtec goodness here (yet...).

I haven't had it very long but it's definatly a keeper. Full Honda service history and very well looked after. I've wanted one for years and finaly went for it after the last few cars i've owned turned out to be complete sheds. Bought it from a Pistonheads user for £2300 and haven't looked back :-D

Bought it pretty much standard but have since added an induction kit. I don't really intend on doing much more to it (modification wise) but possibly a nice set of alloys and lowering. I'm more than happy with the way it looks and performs!

Myself? Well, my names Chris, I'm 22 and I live in a little village near Stoke-On-Trent (unfortunatly). Born and raised in London but moved up here at the beginning of 2007. Not that exciting really.

I would have loved a Vtec but insurance and petrol costs do not permit at the current time. Definatly something on the cards if I decide to upgrade in the future though.

I LOVE the dark green and cream interior. Really works well together.

The Vtec insurance was around £300 more per year. Although not a massive difference, it took me out of my budget for buying the car and paying the insurance off in one go.

The time will come for Vtec biggrin
