Your Prelude is on point with those 2G TL-S / CL-S wheels.

Year, Mileage, Type-SH?

I too have always wanted to own a 5G SH 'lude.

Nearly impossible to find one unmolested with low miles.

Congrats, I've had two 4th gens myself (a 94 and a 95, both green VTEC's). And they are tiny in comparison to today's cars. I remember putting 17's on my first one and they seemed gargantuan on the Prelude. Today, 17's look small on a Sentra!

It's a 2001 type sh, last year made.

No modifications (shocking)

All Original panels and paint and
Maintence up to date to boot.

Actually just switched to 05 rsx type s wheels today.

There are a good number of clean 5th gens out there.. it is impossible to find a decent 4th gen though.

4th gen doesn't exist to me...goes from 3rd gen to 5th gen.

I really want a 4WS 3rd gen....total diamond in the rough to find one. That's nice and clean.

The pure mechanical 4WS is awesome. Searched for one for a while but they were all project cars/not running.

Awesome car. Love those wheels on there. Looks like it might be Nordic Mist Metallic. My brother had a 1998 non-SH in the same color.

Congrats!

Have owned two of those and I regretted selling each one. Someday I'll find another. Unbelievable handling, visibility, fun-to-drive factor. Plus I'd park it like this and always have someone comment on why my back wheels were turning. Love 4WS.

You can get 4WS on the new GS 350 F-Sport (but we didn't get the option on ours)...

Same deal here. I'm back in the market for a BB6, this time with a 5MT.

Most of the ones for sale around here are SS trannies which are bound to go the direction of that on my last BB6.

I was looking for one for a while with no luck. Picked up a s2000 instead. Good luck with your search

Nice..

There was a pearl white SH for sale near me not too long ago. I was seriously thinking of renting a garage just to store it. I'm completely out of room.

Wife said no and we did some vacations instead.


P.S. I miss my '91 Si (also white), I regret selling it now.

The 5th gen autos had crappy trannies. But the SH is a manual only and those were solid.

Funny that you posted that. In my search for a clean BB6, I noticed that many of them are retailing much higher than I'd anticipating.....to the point where a few thousand more might yield a better choice with an AP1.

The 97 Lude definitely ushered in a dark period for Hondas with auto trannies. Both my 97 Lude and 99 Accord had ATs which tanked. (Though the former had 125k on the odo when it went bad.)

Congrats

Had a 86 Si 5MT, great car. Plenty of front legroom for me (6'4"), handled great. Had it until it was totaled in a accident with another Prelude (driver lost control in heavy snow). Lotta fun, G/F (late wife) and I took alot of road trips in it.
