If anyone wants parts PM me over the next week. I will give you my contact number & you can come & get them. Whatever isn't sold by say 3 weeks is getting taken to a jap wrecking yard!

Sorry boys, I'm not going to take any less than 1750 for those wheels. They are adjustables & I know I can get a fortune for them!

But i am probably wrong again haha
FFS, how the F%^k do even compare a prelude to a FTO???? and even if by some miracle you are right, that still doesnt make me wrong just adds another cost of windscreen and rear window.......... hardly expensive considering a new windscreen is like $50.

Remenber this what you said
hey i am pretty sure you cant take a sunroof off one car and put it on a car that hasnt got one
All i am stating is that it is possible........ but maybe expensive.

Seriously if i wanted too and had enough money i could make a fto a convertable with auto roof removal like the porshce's.....remember anything can be achieve with the right amount of money

I find it very unlikelly that the front and rear windscreens are different.
but hey...anything is possible.
regardless of if they are different putting a sunroof would be easy and front and rear windows would need to come out to do the job anyway, they could be bought from the same place as the sunroof......take the entire roof from the doner vehicle, drill all the spot welds, cut the front window sills and rear quarter panels and fit the roof skin only....really not a very difficult job.
Option is to cut a hole in the roof and fit the sunroof that way.
Dodgy, shitloads of welding and bogging.....and in the end would definetly take longer than changing the entire roof skin.

Lol cause i called her bf "jay" (got the number from ebay as he advertise there) and he said its not a mivec and im like...mmm..ok

Astron_Boy · Post by **Astron_Boy** » Wed Mar 18, 2009 4:17 pm

well, unless the car has had a conversion to non mivec... or she has accidently typed gpx... then it should be mivec.

The car doesnt have any badges, so perhaps he also just doesnt know.

yes i heard its the same from my other post, and also need to change the driveshaft to gr too. but mechanic sounds like a noob and his not sure if it actually does work. -_-

Lol i just talked 2 her and asked her abt if its a gpx mivec or not but shes not sure. How can u tell if its a gpx mivec or not? just by reading the engine cover if it says mivec? lol
