i find it sad that the 94-95 ludes are faster than the 99-00'..

this is a 2000 5spd lude. i raced his other lude same body style with intake and exhaust. i beat him by atleast 2+ cars from a roll and a dig

XxAfG786xX

my friend has a 98 prelude with a intake, I always beat him from a dig or a roll...but those cars are heavy for coupes

TLdriver022

I raced my friend who has a prelude with an H22. I beat him by about 2 car lengths.

I beat some 2000 Lude with Intake and Exhaust while i was completely stock, about 3 or 4 lenghths or more, from 2nd to all the way to 3rd END 110 i shut it down. and im STOCK.

Usually I'd say go for it - it's just a Prelude - but if he wants to put 500 bucks on it AND give you a 2 car lead off the jump, there's something fishy going on here. Especially if you've beat him before with his "other" Prelude, you have to think: what makes this one so much faster? I'm thinking he's got spray or a turbo under there...you should pop the hood before you agree on anything. Otherwise, kick his ass bro! And take a vid!

lostkhan

Yeah, hez right Kevin. If it was a bet of $50 Bucks it was understandable. Maybe the guys just playing and wont pay you afterwards? If he is putting 500, im sure he knows whats he doin so check his engine before Anything.

03bl AC k CL

my guess is hes spraying ... i mean if he's already raced you then he already knows the potential of your car... and to be that confident to give u 2 cars AND bet 500 on it... hes def got something up his sleeve.... just remember the fresh prince of bel air episode where will gets hustled in pool for his uncles benz..... haha

Hockeyman

my friend has an SH with i/e and it's pretty slow, i think you got this unless he is spraying.

S1CK TypeS

good point, im gonna keep my 500 walkaway from it. ill come back next month with a 75 shot and we'll see who the real hustler is

XxAfG786xX

300 shot FTW

blown motor FTL

Eoanou

Ah you bitch, race him.

Eoanou

The fastest Civic I've seen with an H22 ran 13s all motor. You figure on a prelude it'll run 14s.

S1CK TypeS

ah ok baller u put down the 500 for me lol

H22A.. i love that motor..

friend of mine had a 00 SH 5spg... cams, pulleys, intake, aem fuel rails, plugs & wires.. i mangled it with my 06 fully modded N/A 5AT.....

now, dont forget, the h22a has ALOT of other potential...turbo, great engine management, he could be spraying... ... even with a turbo, they arent THAT super fast. gotta be spraying if hes that confident in a plain ol' drag race.. my

An eye for an eye, a hand for a hand and a SHOT for a SHOT.....

DIRTYJOHN

TAKE THE BET.. U WILL WIN. As long as you are ahead and u have the first jump He cant catch up. DO IT DO IT

S1CK TypeS

ur 5at was comparable to my 5at on the power scale, so i should be able to hold my own if hes not sprayin

Eoanou

If I gave you the $500 and you win I'll take the winnings.

S1CK TypeS

i take a cut out of the winnings bro but if u wanna thro down 500 ill do it

He might not know how fast your car is but no one bets 500 bucks and gives you a 2 car lead if he knows he is not going to win. I have a friend with a 97 Lude SH with Headers and CAI and he loses to my Auto AV6 when I was stock. The mexican guy would have to have alot done to that motor(which he probobly does) to take you. He might be spraying too! Bet 50 bucks and its worth the race as long as he isn't spraying.

poohlikeshunny

how are the H22 preludes on gas? i want to pick one up as a new DD for work...they're going pretty cheap nowadays, but if it gets less than 26mpg, prolly not worth it, huh?

bigdo26

haha that's a great episode

Fender Bender

Race him! Take a vid!

Hines57

i have a 97 prelude......same for 97-01's. I'd say you will win if he's not spraying. Unfortunately boltons arent that beneficial for the h22. Now if its a twisty road or auto-x u will loose but just going straight u would pull on him especially w/ a 2 car lead.

poohlikeshunny

hines, does the 97-01 have the 4 wheel steering?

Eoanou

I doubt it's very good, old motors tend to eat more gas, and those motors generally have engine issues, ie oil leaks and oil burning.

poohlikeshunny

oh really....never mind then...guess i'll have to keep the tl as a dd....I just figuerd it was a 4 banger so it' gotta be a lil better than the UA5...oh well...

S1CK TypeS

thats not true. my 94 bmw gets better gas mileage than my TL. it depends on how well the person before u took care of the car. if u take care of the car it'll run like brand new and still get good mpg

iTrader: (1)

nope, no more 4ws in that generation of ludes. But they have ATTS, which is supposed to be the first form of SH-AWD (transferring torque actively to the outside wheel).

Mokos23

haha how do you know he was mexican? i like the ludes though, a car Honda should've never dropped.

rimz

is he betting USD or pesos...? ...tell him for $750 he can shove the 2-car lead up his ass and you'll start next to him...

S1CK TypeS

cause he really is mexican i asked around lol

Eoanou

Haha, what do you have against mexicans?

Try getting your buddies to race him for free or something, just to gauge how fast he is maybe?

kosstick

call immigration... Im just messing dont shoot me lol

Willie3.5

Race 'em, but be very careful. H22 have lots of potential if they are fully developed and you got the right driver.
