I got it lowered with 40mm Eibach springs on original shocks, it looked like it was on stilts. What do you think?

Thank you! I have many Prelude's too, I restore them and sell them on :) Thank you mate! Thanks mate! Yes, this was Lincoln originated! This had the body kit fitted to it from new as an optional extra together with the front number fog lamps and CD changer. I have always wanted one that has the full optional extra, the body kit is rare and I always wanted one with it. :)

Thanks @Laird_Scooby and @hughezee. I've now ordered the fluid.

Thanks for the info guys! @Laird_Scooby Just to confirm, your suggesting adding carlube ATF (automatic transmission fluid) 0.5ltr into the engine oil to clean up the valves and VTEC valves for a week? @PTR200S Also, where is the best place to get the transmission fluid, only place i can find is::https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-85494-valvoline-atf-automatic-transmission-fluid.aspx I am really glad i signed up to this forum or i would have put in ATF-DW1!

@Laird_Scooby thanks for the info! I'm thinking of using Shell Helix 10w40 oil, is this good for the v6 engine? I use this on my Prelude's and seems to be good oil. In regards to the transmissions fluid, Honda have recommended me ATF-DW1 fluid (by Cox Honda). Your thoughts? The fluid in my accord is very light red, never seen this light red fluid in a Honda. Cheers

Thank you all for the warm welcomes! So glad there is a forum with so much support for this car, makes ownership little more easy! More pictures:

Thanks mate! I thought it was 3500 rpm on the v6's? Is yours a v6 or the 2.0i?

Hello guys! I'm a newbie with a v6! So... last week I purchased a Honda Accord Coupe v6 automatic that only has 51,000 miles on the clock. I've always driven Prelude's and this is my first Accord v6. I do have some questions if anyone can help me with to get me started: - the VTEC doesn't kick in at 3.5k, and engine sound doesnt change etc. There is no CEL or issues. The oil is at max but I think it could do with changing as it does look old. Anything else you guys may think it is? - What oil grade does it take? Some are saying 5w40 and some are saying 0w20, - The gearbox oil needs changing, as it isn't that red cherry as I usually see in these Honda cars. This car was going to be a tidy up and sell off, but really starting to like it now. Cheers
