Should I trade my EG Civic for a 97 Prelude SH?
Ive got an 95 EG Coupe Civic with over 200k on the body but only around 50-60k on the motor that I swapped a B20B with GSR Transmission into a few years back and the body lines and age of it is kind of dragging me down a bit. I really like the look of a Prelude but not sure if I want the issues with the H22, premium fuel, and oil hungryness. I have been working on a 97 prelude for a family member and am about to pull the head on it and do a valve job for her and have started to grow on the car and working on a motor again. My question is, if I could do a straight swap for swap on a 97 Prelude SH with around 105k miles on it should I? If not, I might pull the motor apart on mine and do a rebuild for the heck of it this winter..
Not your typical Honda fanboy - wanna go fast - type. I am more for reliability with some weekend fun and looks. My money is in my truck right now.. but it's diesel so I don't want to drive it everyday. The main use my civic has is some daily driving when I don't feel like driving my diesel truck and AutoX. But have not gotten to do much AutoX'ing recently due to life and children. So pretty much daily driving.. Which I might have answered my own question on the fact of not having to spend money on Premium and less MPG... meh let the normal Honda bashing begin.. haha |

Id also keep the civic but im bias toward preludes some times

Re: Should I trade my EG Civic for a 97 Prelude SH?
I'm thinking more on keeping the civic just due to the oil eating problems, high octane fuel you should run in a prelude and not always the best for AutoX.. but neither is a civic. But both can be modified to improve cornering through the twisties.

Why would you want to have a civic? i'd get rid of the civic.
