Alright as some of you may have read,I have entered into the rare prelude club,and have gotten the head turning,and wow is that a honda or what model is this a 2007? bunch of people already lol,i do enjoy it though.

Its definitely different from my civic a much more relaxed car,however it cant beat driving a left hand drive.
Anyway my box sadly should only be here on monday so we may only start with the conversion next week.

Im not a mechanic in any sense of the word,however does anyone have a helms manual for me?
the swop will be done by Anthony-H,now I stay about 80km away from him so I cant just go and pop in on him,so mind the lack of pictures and info I might add to this thread but all the details I get I will definitely pass on to this topic.

I got pictures of my box today:

the clutch looks worn,not sure how bad as the pics dont do much justice,however I asked the supplier he reckon its worn but useable.So will see once it arrives.






For the benefit of other luders as well I will include the prices I have payed for the items,

Gearbox including:
*vss
*slave clutch cylinder
*rev switch
*flywheel+bolts
*clutch kit
*5spd starter
*intermediate shaft
*jdmmonkey if you can help me here,on the 5th pic which has something in the middle with a yellow mark is that the clutch dampener?
*shift cables and clips to hold it all(linkages are cut,so they useless.
Price I payed: R7000 railage im looking around R400-R500

Clutch master cylinder: R400

These are the resources I am using for the swop:

I will update as I go along.

lol thanks jdmmonkey,shows how well I know my cars,but I think this will be a awesome learning curve for me,if just everything wanst happening at once.

I am getting married on the 25th of September in cape town so ill be there for roughly a week,and then im back for a few more days then driving to Durban in hopefully the prelude,otherwise its in my mums jazz,which im going to hate.

ok great,for the brake pedal assembly,did you purchase an assembly or alter the stock one?

Thanks jdm,will have a look in the morning.

Also do you have a part# for me on the mounting I need?

So you have the gearshift assembly/shift cables/clutch pedal already?

There's still a long road ahead. With marriage up ahead (congrats btw  ) I dont see this happening overnight(24 days). You also don't want to get stuck next to the road when you on honeymoon. jdmmonkey battled for a while before his snags was sorted. Trust me, don't put too much faith on second hand parts, doing the swap is one thing, what goes on inside that gearbox is another, you don't know what might have crawled in there while it was standing + that pressure plate doesn't look too good either. Rather get the flywheel skimmed and fit a new clutch, it will just set your mind at ease. Then there's also your ECU to be modded, I can go on and on and you probably hate me for this, but take up that Jazz offer  
 

Hahaha It's just stuff I've seen happen over and over + a preludes are like a lady, you dont rush a lady into anything, it will just bite you in the ass later on. 

Oh and tell Anthony-H- to take care of your motor mounts, especially the LH side mount. It is too expensive to replace over something stupid like jacking up the motor too high or letting it hang on its own mercy. The front mount is also fragile. 

.

Hey guys whats the latest on the conversion? hows it going?

Congrats on the marriage!

Congrats on the marriage and once the honeymoon is done you can get back to focusing on your first wife....The Lude

hahaha sounds like you married a woman and a car, at least it's one big happy family!!

all the best of good luck to you!

Quick update:
Car refused to start,I think its an immobiliser issue,lights everything go on however once the key is turned,the starter clicks once then nothing happens.

Well during that time,the car got collected last night by anthony,what a b#*$h to push up the car trailer god damn!!

None the less the car has left my premises,will be seeing anthony this weekend to collect ECU provide it to jdmmonkey @ Toyama Racing Spirit to work it,and will keep updating as I go.

Good to hear this, some progress at least.
