Fefelarue's 3rd gen Honda Prelude

[fefelarue]

Another tiny update, but every little helps..

New exhaust manifold cover bolts:




My dipstick was looking shite, so I made a new handle for it.

One dipstick and one jewellers screwdriver:



Pulled off the handle and cut the dipstick:



And stuck them back together then taped over:



And so after 3 rejection letters from the DVLA, and finally finding out that the previous owner had refunded the tax on the car, I eventually managed to put my private plates on
(my surname is Ure, so they're perfect for me) - oh and also got a new tax disc holder haha.




Cheers

I hope that the fart can looks less out of place once you put on wheels and drop it, because right now it stands out a lot to me (and not in a good way). Just my $0.02

Hello again.

Got a few more bits done today. Progress isn't that fast as it's a daily driver, but it's getting there bit by bit..

First off, I took off the rusty plug carrier bits in the corner:





And gave them a lick of paint to match the rocker cover:



Then started the wire tuck with the two ugliest bits first; the throttle cable which goes right over the engine for some reason, and these horrible red wires snaking their way around the bay:



Relocated the throttle cable up to the top, and after a bit of hassle, ran the wires round the other way and wrapped them in tape:



Then I swapped this:



For this:



And finally got that bit of pipe to move the air filter down right where the air intake is behind the light



That's all for today

Trying to decide what big thing to do next, I'm thinking a flocked rocker cover

[Queef|Chief]

Wow that air box was a joke haha. Looks way better now

[white out]

Paint the cover wrinkle black, man. Keep this thing completely stock except for a drop and old school wheels.

This.

[fefelarue]

Stainless, but if it looks cack i'll order some more black..

[244Brick]

No bad.. is the long pipe black as well?

[fefelarue]

Okay, got bits from the postman today:



Here's the engine bay before:



And after a lot of cuts and burns, I managed to pull this out, the most ridiculous air intake I have ever seen!


And there's still another friggin resonator box under the inlet manifold which I didn't have time to get to today.

Cut all the bits down and test fitted it all:




I know it's a silly place to have the filter, but i'm still waiting on a long bit of pipe to bring it down to the front of the bay..

Thanks for looking!

Sanded down with a medium grade sand paper, polishing compound, and some clear on top. Gives it a brushed look.

I vote this for the rocker cover.

This is definitely a possibility

Paint the cover wrinkle black, man. Keep this thing completely stock except for a drop and old school wheels.

It probably won't be going black, as I want it to really pop under the bonnet. I'll be keeping the outside more or less standard other than wheels and suspension, so need to go crazy somewhere!

That thing is CLEAN. Can't wait to see it a lot lower.

I'd keep everything really simple with this car, it's already so clean.

That's the plan bro

I like that you left the Honda badge. Would be too "boring" without it.
