    yeah, i am a little bit, but if anything happens, i can sell the h22 swap and the shell and rims for more than i paid for the lancer win!

    does it have like very expensive rims or something because i can get an h22 longblock for 800 bucks. But the I'd say its a good trade and good luck with your prelude. you're gonna love it.

    yeah, they are giovanna 18" rims, looked them up, the cheapest set with tires i found was $1500 and run all the way up to $3000 for just the wheels

    Dont know how easy that would be to sell the shell but go ahead. The prelude is def a better car but requires premium gas and gets 17-22mpg. You could get a car with regular gas and more power.

    Everyone I have ever known with a 5th gen has gotten 17city/22hwy on full stock. That has been the only reason I haven't bought one. What have you modded?

    Nothing. all stock except for an intake. I drive my prelude to kentucky every week with 200,000 miles on the car. maybe i just drive like very conservatively.
