Oh I wouldn't mess with any of the 370s. But a 350/350 Nismo, rated at 300, I think would make for a pretty good race.

350Z is slightly faster so equal driver it's a tight race, but if any of the drivers mess up win goes to the other. 350Z Nismo gets the same motor down to a T but a different exhaust so maybe good for 10-15hp increase at best. Either way, tight race for sure.

Best fun I had was with a Genesis Coupe 2.0T 2013, that little thing goes but it still trails behind. Even the 3.8 trails behind...

It can, the Genesis trail behind, sorry if it was confusing. But they're fun to play with nonetheless.

Honestly I rarely race or even have the inclination to do so. But when I have it's mostly been other TLs.

In the Prelude I would have erroneously taken on anything. Lol

Speaking of Preludes... my buddy still has his 4th gen. It's a monster but he hasn't driven it in three or four years now because the clutch he had installed with the new motor is so rough it's hard even for an experienced driver to not stall. He's had an extra clutch for it for two years and hasn't installed it.

Last time we went up to Mid-Ohio for the races we were talking and he said he'd sell it for the right price. That was two years ago now. I've been thinking about making him an offer. Something like $5k...







Completely built putting out 450 I think but I know it can handle a ton more boost.

Choices, choices, choices.

Nice 4th gen Prelude, saw a 3rd gen pre-refresh one on lunch break while I was talking to go get my fuse.
Red with a small black lip, all done in good taste. Only good to people who know what is it, otherwise it's a small boxy car lol

Yea I still like the boxy 3rd gens...

My friend still has her's. It was at my house for a week a few weeks ago. I meant to take a picture the day I drove it to work.

Boosted putting out 325, BBK, full suspension, freshly painted.



Car drives like a Miata. They are very fun to drive. I miss the old Honda days.

I don't know what's up really. Marcus is one of the best guys around... but you know people will raise hell for $50 they feel like they spent too much.... knowingly.

People hate on the 5th gen, but I adore that car. An optioned out 5th gen was my dream car in high school no way I could ever afford one then.

All remaining preludes are butchered though. They either have butchered body kits, shitty aftermarket tail lights/headlights, shitty fart can exhausts, shitty track car set ups or shitty dirty girl histories.

The problem with most Preludes at this point is rust. At least around here. Especially the 3/4 gens. I still know tons of people rocking fifth gens though. I was never really a fan. The 5Gs were to the 4G owners what the 4G TL was to 3Gers....IMO.

My buddy still tracks his almost every weekend...



And yea fuck those money grubbing kids. Gotta pay to play. Also, learn some basic economics.

Same, it's why I always go "oh, that's nice" when I see an old Honda with no rust.

Oh and a monopoly because Marcus bought the remaining a-specs he could find and make $50 on them. For fuck sake, we're talking about a 7+ years old car with parts not being produced anymore, calm your tits with your monopoly lol

Funniest shit aboot the Marcus aspec stuff is all these little guys come out crying now. Like they only care now that there are "none" available. If you wanted it so bad, should hiked up the big girl panties and bought them sooner.

I must admit that if I had the foresight and capital to buy up all the remaining stock, you're damn right I would have. And I'd be marking it up a bit more than $50.

I also think the only reason they're bitchin is because he was honest and said he bought all remaining inventory. Had he just said, yo I got more kits for sale. I bet no one would be crying so loud.

Silliness

I think so too, however, there are people out there that disagree. If anything, I think the 4G dash is polarizing, even back in the day.

Me too!! It's a super rarity to see anything from the early to mid 90s with no
rust.

Exactly! It was all about that badass dash / badass gauges and those sexy one piece JDM headlights.

my friend had a white 1990 prelude...one of the first "tuner" cars in my immediate surrounding and probably part of the reason I went down the Honda road (and Mama J, obvi).

Chad, do you make your friends hit 450 whp before accepting the friendship? Seems like the magic number.

Ohhh. Really? Honestly I've yet to come across another dash setup that looked as good as the 4G Prelude. Those EL gauges were way ahead of their time.



How can you NOT like that? :/

J, I've been around the Honda game a long time now. And most everyone has boosted. And really anything higher than 450 (350 even) on a Honda is pointless. So that is the magic number. Lol. If you're wondering that 4G would spank the shit out of the Accord I mentioned last week. And the red 3G above is the wife of said deceased friend. And that black NSX was also his. We were a tight community. :o
