Tearing down my Prelude for next project, have a few things to sell.

MoTeC M4, been in the car for about 10kkm, since the engine rebuild 25kkm ago. No problems that I can tell, looks brand new. Pics as standard, hasn't been opened or fiddled with.

It has a loom, somewhat, the guy who wired it seems to have made a mess, but you are welcome to any/all wiring.... >_>

Same goes for the MAP. I don't know what it is, but probably worth $100?

As for the M4, there is an auction on ebay at the moment first bids are 1k, risen to 1100 with 2 days to go and 3 interested parties, so I would expect it will go for 1200-1500.

I really just want what is fair, 1k is my minimum though. If you want the loom+MAP, probably just add $200 to the price.

I'd take $1500 today for the lot having said that. Lol I know lots of options >_>

Also have a cheapo Viper alarm, some heavy grade speaker cabling (for the sub in the boot, welcome to the capacitor as well, and as well the fuse), probably $500 for the lot, $100-200 for each comma separated bunch.

Ultimately I'm happy if you are happy, and shipping can be whatever you want although I'd prefer cash pickup for the M4 just so neither person gets/feels scammed.

Pics can be arranged, paypal, bank deposit, cash, bankcheque, 2nd child all options.

Mobile 0433526436, location Greensborough VIC, available pretty much 24/7 for talk/purchase.

Extra items that I may be willing to sell, so if you are interested let me know and I will include them:

Custom 3g prelude bodykit (includes frontbar, sideskirts and rear, and spoiler/wing)

Xforce turbo back (think its 4.5", but w/e)

Garrett GT2860RS disco potato, 10kkm old no smoke or shaft play. Might be just the R model I can't get behind to read properly, but same difference AFAIK only $100.

I don't know what it has on it, but it is tuned for a 4cylinder B20A6 Prelude 3g. I didn't put it in or do the tune, so it could be some fancy whoopdydo version, but all I can see is M4 on the side ;)

@Jamie72, ugh, needed extra words in there "AFAIK only $100 difference between them".

Anyway, would probably want $800+ for that, they go for $1500 new. It would include the intercooler and all the piping too probably.

Also have Exedy heavy duty cushioned button clutch and factory reconditioned (manual 5psd) gearbox, both 3kkm old and perfect condition.

Probs $700 and $300.

Oh crap, forgot to add, the clutch (well really probably both above items), would also come with a custom ultralightweight flywheel. this baby is so light african swallows are seen trying to steal and fly away with it! (along with coconuts >_>)

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
