3.4 or 3.8

either way they're both pretty good engines

Police auction?

Whoops I thought my other post didn't go through when I made this one. Anyway just look a little farther down if you want to see a pic

Of course.
It's semi fucked up but had an engine tyranny and a clean title

So just some body damage?

/cars/21292#21292

Wheels a bit fucked too but nothing major. Only has 42k miles. People don't want these cars because of the color and they don't wanna put in work they just want a quick flip

Doesn't look bad at all, headlights are abundant in junkyards along with body panels.

My Soul already hadn't been truly washed in over a year whenever it got rear ended. The dealer detailed it while it was in the shop which was nice.

damn you got lucky. the dealershit i got mine from just hid everything with wax and crappy touch up. after the first wash i gave it, it all washed away. im dying to have some extra money to get it detailed like a pro, or buy the shit myself and do it myself. and its gat damn winter right now fuuuuuucc lol.

That was about all I was lucky on though. The dealership is in the process of setting up it's kia repair center, so there weren't any kia certified mechanics to work on my car. The dealership's general body shop ended up doing the repairs for the body and the exhaust work. Took 6 weeks. Two days after getting it I brought it back because there was a grinding noise at about 2k rpm because the exhaust was too close to a heat shield. Then I ended up having to bring it back again two weeks later because it stalled out on me. They had it for a week before they decided they had to outsource it because they couldn't replace the fuel pump in house. Then I had to bring it back a third time because the fuel pump the third party shop put in was defective.

depending on how recent the timing belt and pump were done, thats the deal maker there for me. looks fairly unmolested too.

both platforms have huge community and aftermarket support, so can't really go wrong with either one of them.

also gotta factor in, all the work the prelude has done vs your car and how much all that work would cost you if you decide to keep the vehicle.

I'd be the lazy man and take the one with the work done with it.

just my .2222 cents

also factor in insurance, your rate would probably jump because your going from hatch back to coupe.

Thanks, the guy said hes selling because he has a baby on the way. its rebuilt because it was stolen and got into an accident so he bought it back from icbc and rebuilt the engine. He says no frame damage but everyone does

one thing id inspect about the prelude though are all the seals, gaskets, bushings/ anything related to suspension and steering, since it is the orignal body.

The seller didnt state any kind of essential body work being done. thats one thing i would not want to invest in since it is pretty costly to do. not just how much the part cost, but how many parts there are to replace.

You pretty much disassemble the whole car at that point too so = a lottaaaa work.

"Also I didn't buy it to flip it either plans just changed with the kid on the way I've driven it for alittle under a year since the work got done and put 9000k on still works great " I've been talking to him for a while, seems honest. But I will take a couple guys and inspect it from bumper to bumper

Give it AWD and 50 more hp and that'd be pretty tantalizing

knowing the crazy shit the lunatics at dodge are doing nowadays i wouldn't be half surprised if something like that came along eventually

modern minivans are fucking awesome m8

I feel you, man. I will go insane if I don't start it every few days.

yet another great buick concept that with never get made

Did you hear that? Twins!

Think of it more like /motorized vehicles/

You mean like these pieces of shit?

You were launching it, weren't you?

It just snowed Im smarter than that. I was drifting and on my way home I was like huh why's my car pulling to the right
Then bang and that.

i hope the rims didnt get too fucked up

It got very fucked up

well...
that sucks

Nah I just threw the gt wheels back on

Also this.... A little old but it's only gotten better

you made me do this

To be fair Bing should never be used for anything other than porn

if i had a dollar for every time this happened

what were you expecting

a big block chevy transmission

also who the fuck uses bing?

i do obviously and why are you on /cars/ shouldnt you be shitposting on someones profile?

you get an ls1 with a carb?

Its a brake disc you dip

It seems like you pull that engine alot

no i dont this is the first time that 351w has been out of that truck since 89

I might have you confused with someone else then....

you might remember me by this picture

I remember the truck but I also remember someone doing a shitton of motor swaps. Maybe I'm getting mixed up with cvn

It's a ford, what do you expect?

just swap in a 4.0 and drive the fuck out of it for another 300k miles

everybody has made a few flops in this industry, even toyota

really the only make that deserves all the backlash it gets is fiat, they are literally worse than hitler

like i told backwoods if you dont have a perfect car then dont talk shit its just a brand

True some of them are reliable but once something breaks you're fucked

Honda has made a few interesting cars like the NSX, s2k, del sol and the beat i mean it's different, not fast but different

As for toyotas, you're just looking at the wrong ones. The supra, celica gt four(st165, st 185, and st205) soarer gt also known as the lexus sc300&400, mrmysteriousmagic has one ae86 and the mr2 are all pretty interesting and i could name a few more

There hasn't been an interesting Toyota car since the 90's though

toyota and nissan make decent trucks for whatever you might need, while honda tends to go for the soccer mom bid with their truck

heres one problem the valve stem seals rode up the vlave telling me all my vss' are bad

i heard a mighty voice from above that asked me
"Why the fuck not?"

all the rod bearings look better than any dragcar engine ive ever taken apart

got the head off and found a pleasant suprise in the form of hydralic tappits

pistons aint exactly flat tops but they do give me the option to turbo in the future for even more oh shit button uses

decided to try on my new glove

getting the heads cleaned up you can see the before and after CLEARLY

got the head all clean and ready to go so i shot her down with some ford blue i had laying around thisll go good with my black valve covers that have the silver fins

also heres another problem the headgasket looks like it sat in a shit filled septic tank for a year and i had little to no compression in 2 cylinders because they were sharing through the headgasket and one cylinder needed rings for some odd reason it was the only out of spec set of rings too

If you can find it on sale, get it. Its really good if you like customizing shit and all the dlc/updates are free.

Unfortunately the only place you can get it for PC is Origin, and there it's like $60.

I paid 90 bucks for my disc, so I'd take the deal if I were you.
