Congrats! Great choice of color. Now go out and have some fun.

 

Yeah, you will burn oil, and you need to watch that dipstick. Definitely don't overfill. Best bet is to add a little at a time and recheck often.

 

Black is the fastest color by the way....
Good to have you on board....

 

sweet ride. I hope to be in your position, but with a low-mile '02. Prices are seasonally low now. Good opportunity to finally get one.

 

but an orange paint job is even faster than black.

congrats on the car! she's a beauty!

 

Thanks for the input and encouragement, everyone!! I fully agree black is the better color...it forces you to keep it clean! Matt, thanks for the quick defense while I was at work.

So far I have not noticed any oil consumption, but I did change it at 600 miles and switched to Mobil 1 synthetic, so it'd be hard to really determine. I am nearing 1000 miles and I just checked the oil this morning and it had barely moved from where it was when I was through filling it. Just for everyone's information, I do VTEC the hell out of the thing whenever possible. The car seems to be pretty well put together.

 

Welcome aboard.

Sweet ride man! I do have to agree on the prelude comments. I have an 2000 SH right now and am looking to trade up. I cannot beleive how much better the S2000 is in every category. One of the funny things for me too is that the S2000 is a lot more comfortable than my prelude. I don't know about you but I could never find the right seating postion in my lude. I was always slouching some how. Anyway...im a long time lurker but hope to be able to join this wonderful community some day soon.

 

Well, remember that the Prelude really *isn't* a sports car. Damn, I loved my '88 4WS, but it didn't compare to the S. Even the latest 'Ludes with VTEC are really a different design concept entirely than the S.

Nice, nice cars though!
