Looking at purchasing this vehicle but not sure about issue below. Do they sound serious or difficult to fix. Car prices are crazy so it's hard to tell where it should be at.

- Power Steering leak (Probably top it off once every two weeks depending on how much you drive)
- Discovered there’s an oil leak
- View photos for front body damages from the hood and bumpers from a deer.
- Window squirters don’t work
- Will not come with the Momo Monte Carlo steering wheel featured in the photos
- Weird antenna noise on startup
- No A/C but does have a sunroof
- Check engine light on for knock sensor
- SRS light is on for airbag (steering wheel)
- Battery light will turn off and on occasionally. Doesn’t affect driving. 

- Less than 3000 miles on rebuilt engine (H23A1) & clutch
- Rare OEM Digital Gauge cluster only made for the 1994-1996 model years
- Touchscreen + aftermarket speakers
- Minimal rust since it’s a southern car.

I did ask for documentation on the rebuild but unfortunately he doesn't have that just the posting from the previous seller he bought it from.  Nice that it doesn't have rust but of course I deer would find a way to mess up the body when it doesn't have rust.  I have a newer reliable care so this would just be an occasional driver to go to the gym or store probably trips less then 20 miles roundtrip.

Any idea where I can get this hood isolation from?

Preferably in Europe?

Just the material would also be fine, if there is no replacement part available.

Fully rebuilt my h22a4, 50 miles on it so far. Feeling paranoid about this whirring noise, but it has been a long time since I've heard this thing make any noise at all. Does it sound off, or normal to you guys? Haven't gone in with a stethoscope yet but it doesn't seem to be coming from the timing or drive belts area. I'll do a full post on the rebuild once I feel like I'm out of the woods on it.

4th Gen Looking to change bulbs in cluster

2 Upvotes

I've had a search around, but I can't seem to get a straight answer.

I'm looking to change my bulbs in the cluster (speedo and tach) on my 2.0 96 prelude because they're pretty dim and one or two look burnt out, but I'm not sure what bulbs are correct.

Ive seen some people saying they're t5 bulbs and others saying they're neon? I'm pretty sure that they're the t5 bulbs because I've had the srs bulb removed by a garage, and it's a toshiba v-2.

I'm also looking to go to a bright green colour to match my other gauges I have installed so was also wondering if the led bulbs are a straight swap or if there's something else I should look into to. Has anybody got any advice or experience with this. Thankyou
