So, I'm back..with the same civic.

And I'm sure no one even knows/remembers who the hell I am!

But this was my civic:

Civic died, had the money, bought my (affordable) dream car, 4th Generation Honda Prelude:

Well, after giving the civic to my brother, months later he decided he didn't want it and told me to part it out. I never got around to it.

One day, he drives up to the house in this:

Wow. Heartbreaking for me to look at since I'm such a huge fan of that model Prelude.

The motor, runs very smooth. So, we are putting the H in the civic.

Open surgery:

OOPS!:

THERE we go!:

The new heart:

Oh, I forgot to mention that it's the h23. Not an h22.

And no, I won't put the h23 in my lude and put the h22 in the civic. This will make for a very decent DD for when my lude is down for engine work/mods/installations/etc.

I always thought the h23 was a better engine for mods personally. It'll make the civic move pretty good.

i am confused. your bro wanted teh civic to be parted out, he rolled up in a lude, and YOU took the motor and the civic? so what does he drive, a lude with an d16? help me out on this one.

 

[chimmychongaz]

He drives a gas guzzling V8 truck.

I originally gave him the civic so he could fix it himself and use it for the sake of saving gas. Since he wanted me to part it out, I just took it back.

But when we are finished, he'll use it for a DD until my lude is down for mods.

that poor poor prelude...

Indeed. The interior of the prelude was suprisingly minty fresh and clean. Rice never made it's way inside I suppose.

4th Gen preludes look really nice, my brother owns one. it also has the h23, we can keep pretty much even with an h22a swapped eg hatch in it.
here is the car domain of my brothers car, if you want me to upload them just tell me.

Lmao.. I feel the same way.

Good luck on the swap. If you need any help(on the swap), feel free to ask away.

that h23 will do plenty of justice. the prelude does look a little beat but it is a used car, imo the 4th gen preludes are some of the best cars honda made.
