ok, so ive been building cars for a while now and have finally gotten to where i feel that i deserve a break on the cost of parts and pieces.  i have owned 14 or 15 preludes and all but one have been 3rd gen.  (88-91)  si models.  I built a 91 si w 4ws alone and it was the longest running car i ever owned in my life!  i spent countless hours under the car in the middle of the night in tears out of frustration.  i still would let no one help me because i was bound and determined to do it alone.  i did.  it took me two whole months and hundreds if not thousands of dollars just to build a stock prelude~

i remember the first time i laid eyes on a 5th gen prelude and drooled over the thought of the h22 motor.  i saved and dreamed for another two years then finally went out and bought a wrecked one for 3500.00.  it is a base model converted into an sh.  it has the sh front end and transmission so it kicks ass (when i can keep it running).  it has survived two major catastrophes since i have driven it.  one being a thrown timing belt and the next being a cam broken into three pieces.  when the cam broke, i ended up changing the head out but had intended to swap the entire motor.  the sh motor was impossible to locate without buying the transmission attached and i already had it.  the price difference was astronomical so i kept the same block and swapped heads.   i ended up getting some money back from the original head since it was only the tiniest bit damaged.

ill post some pics in the next post of some of my builds. but my reason for opening up a new blog site is to begin advertising a bit for my dreams to take shape.  i want to be a race car owner!  driver would be great but i really have always been obsessed with motors and cars and making them faster and telling racecar stories with the boys.  (i am a girl) :)  so in order to get the really good stuff, i must get other nuts like me to join up on my quest and buy their parts and tools through my links.  that is just a start.  im quite sure i can get better discounts as i have paid for a membership to do this.  you are more than welcome to join the membership as well but i find that most of us just want to get our parts when we want them and dont really  have the time to run a campaign.  fortunately i am blessed to have this time to spare at this point in my life and i would love to gain the respect of the other car buffs out there by getting great deals for everyone!
