Yeah he says he spent 50k+ (I found his post from early 2000s on Honda-tech)

He ran low 11's in it and the guy he sold it to ran 10s. I bought it off some guy who I don't think had any idea about cars, cause it's lacking maintenance for sure...

Both rear calipers were seized = no hand brake

The oil pan has some leaks it seems and I may need to replace

The turbo has an oil leak as well

Oil gauge not reading properly

Other than that, the car runs like a champ!

It has a street tune about 440whp and it also came with an alternative config on a chip. Puts it into the 600whp, but then I need to run slicks and race fuel.

It's in surprisingly great shape. My plan is to restore it to this guys original vision and keep that going. This build is pretty much what I wanted out of a Prelude back in the day and as I got older, it was a CRX that I ultimately wanted. But the EG series is beautiful.

Unfortunately - I have like 0 knowledge about cars. Fortunately, this car isn't rocket science. The motor seems pretty basic and easy to maintain/repair. So any 30 minute job takes me like 4 hours lol...

it's a toy
