if this has been the major extent of the problems to this point consider yourself FORTUNATE!!!!! just have patience and if you get worked up about something then stop for the day and go do something you enjoy more... working mad is the worst way to work. just take it easy. things could be so much worse. you could just not have a car at all.

WOW buy another prelude????.....hmmmm.....bad Idea....sell a 240 for a one million pound land yacht....doesnt make any sense to me. Have patience and good things will happen. Take it from a guy who has none....me. Dont buy a prelude. 240s are so much better and more fun. Try sliding around in a 4000lb fwd car. It isnt near as easy(if youre talented enough to pull it off) or fun. lol have a good day and know that youll be shuned by everyone if you sell your 240 for a prelude.

Um, Preludes are under 3k lbs and they can be a hell of alot of fun... Not that I would prefer one to my S14, but they are damn good cars. Don't stress to much on the install, you're bound to run into problems here and there, sounds like you haven't had it that bad yet.

why not just make a longer oil return line? that would cost you almost nothing to do, and problem will be fixed.
