Hi All,

Collected my Honda E yesterday. It will take over from my aging Prelude as a daily car, but not replace it!

Look forward to reading all the advice on the forum.

Cheers,

Scott

Nice one Scott; you chose the correct colour. Prelude is still a handsome bit of design isn't it, aged really well?

Cheers Matt - I was happy with the colour and wheel combo in the end. Bit of a gamble with a bright yellow car, but why try to blend in!

As for the Prelude, the design is quite understated, so it doesn't date too quickly. I've added the optional 17inch wheel / bodykit / grill and front fogs over time. At 21 years old and 133k miles, the frequency of jobs popping up has made me rethink using it as a daily. The other week I had to replace the exhaust downpipe on my driveway which was no small task (And certainly one I wouldn't look forward to in the winter months). Mechanically it has aged fairly well, but only because I am doing all the jobs as required. Not a month goes by without a brake overhaul, new parts here and there, service items, upgrades etc.

I look forward to many years of trouble free motoring in the E, the service schedule is a delight to read only requiring cabin filter, brake fluid and occasionally a gearbox oil replacement.

Welcome and that looks to have quite a few options added, it's difficult to tell but does it have the front under spoiler in addition to what I can see: wheels, door rubbing strips, drive recorder (as you've mentioned in another thread)?

Also I'm getting to like the colour the more I see them.

Yes it has the lip/chin spoiler. I'm not a massive fan, if you can hardly see it, its barely worth having (unlike the prelude 2xlip and sill kit which really transforms its look).

The wheels were a deal breaker, they really add to the futuristic look and are a departure from the ever increasing spoke count or thinner spokes you see in contemporaries.

Welcome! Same as londi, I'm more and more warmed up with yellow. I wasn't brave enough...! Thank you for all the information on the drive recorder thread too. Hope you enjoy your e - see you around.

And, oh Prelude (love your number plate)! Below is my memory of Prelude (around 1985) - I can even hear the music from the tapes in the car - carefully composed to fit in 60min with smooth reversing... :D
