R.I.P: The Outstanding Honda

1983-2004

cause of death: blown headgasket

It was ugly. It was slow. But, damnit!....it had spunk. So, I'm sad to see it go.


yep....it's a sad day at Rhoad Racing and 507. Yesterday, on my way back from an auto salvage yard in Lithonia, the Prelude blew it's head gasket :( and is currently residing at a Shell station on I-20. So once again....I have two cars and a bike that don't run. :roll:
Me and my dad haven't decided yet, but we'll probably buy a new head gasket and I'll install it. So if any of you pirates want free dinner I'll be happy to compensate. Or any advice with putting in a head gasket would be cool too.

As for the 240.....I called S&W auto salvage yesterday and found out that they had a new MAF. So I leave work early and head down there with money in hand and a smile on my face. But that didn't last long. Come to find out, when I get there the gentleman behind the desk informs me that they can't find it!!!!! :shock: :evil: But they can mail it to me today and I'll receive it on Thursday. :roll: It sucks, but since the Honda blew up, I don't really have a choice but to wait. :(

*the frustration continues!* :?

haha....we're going to try, but it doesn't look promising. Sadly...there's a chance we'll just sell it to a junk yard. :cry:
