ya that was on the original engine and trans. the po saved all the receipts and service reports from EVERYTHING he had done to it, after reading through most of that the oil was changed almost every 3k miles, its on its third alt, second water pump and rad, and he had the trans fluid and filter changed every year (January 2nd every year). theres more but those were the major things.

well i had to put the prelude on hold for a minute. i was driving my moms 300 and hit the curb pulling into the bank and busted the rim, it cost me all my "engine money" to get it fixed sooo... i need to start saving again.
