I wish someone would give me a Honda for free. lol Congrats. Have fun with it, and look into all options when deciding what to do with the motor. I don't know much about the aftermarket for those cars, but maybe you could just have the stock motor re-built (Higher compression pistons, cams, and so on) Then you won't have to worry about swap issues.
I like that bodystyle of preludes the best.

 

Ken... visit preludepower.com ... i am also a member there as my cousin used to have a 89 Si, and i recently just donated my 92S... i only had to do it because the HG went and i was too tired to put anymore time/$ into it... the F22 had 240k miles on it but the body was rusted out... the preludes are def solid cars...

not sure if this was answered yet, is it a MT???

 

Ken,

I may have a line on a brand new rebuilt JDM H22A + RevHard turbo kit for your car. It's all brand new. never installed, never fired.

 

H22 + big azz turbo + JDM Accord type R transmission with LSD.

Then go piss off some Mustangs.

 

Damn..

Let me know!

 

Yes its a MT.

No more slushboxes for me.

I'll join them tonight

 

Picking up the Prelude this weekend..

 

congrats. I'm truly jealous.

what color in/out?

Does it have the optional armrest/console? Mine had it, and sadly when I wrecked I crushed it on my ribs when the pass seat jumped off its track and slammed it into me. They are really rare.

 

White exterior, dark grey/black interior

I believe it has the center console/armrest. I havent been in that car for over a year, its been sitting outside his house mostly.

 

Damn. You are one lucky dude. Get it and mod the living piss out of your free car. I wish honda would bring the lude back, the AV6 coupe is not a replacement for that car.

Thanks!!

 

 

I had one white with the white wheels, loved that freaking car

 

Congrats... you're starting to get quite the honda/acura car collection there

 

Yeah, 2 Acuras and a Honda now..

My g/f is afraid I'll start a museum..

Her exact words were "Are you going to be like Jay Leno only with less money?"

 

But .... but you don't look black here. :wtf:

 

 

 

Prelude update:

i thoroughly cleaned the inside and out. Interior is in excellent condition, honestly. Seats look brand new. My only gripe is the crappy tint that is bubbling on the rear glass.

Exterior needs some work. Mostly window trim, driver's side door seal and one fender has a touch of rust on it. Other than the expected rock chips, its in good shape.

Suspension appears to be in excellent shape too. It rides quite smoothly on the freeway. Broken pavement makes more noise than any sort of discomfort. This car is more comfortable than many of today's sport coupes. They could learn something from this thing.

I'll be putting a stereo in it in the next couple of weeks. I was hoping for another Kenwood headunit like I have in my TL with sirius built into the unit, but that model has been discontinued and NO ONE else to my knowledge offers such a thing, especially in a single DIN.

 

Ken, the pics arent loading for me.

 

i've always liked preludes

 

Have fun putting a stereo in it

I remember having to build baffles for the door because they are too shallow to handle a lot of good speakers (i had bought a pair of MB Quarts and the magnets were just too big, had to sell them.)

I also had to have the original stereo cut out at the bolts because they were just locked in solid. No one could get them by hand.

It was a good challenge and fun project ripping it apart. I learned a lot about that car from that.

 

Well I got the original stereo out. I put in an older Blaupunkt MP3/CD player I had lying around, eventually I'll get something better. Sounds pretty decent. My friend redid the speakers, he thinks they're Boston Acoustics, we'll see if that turns out to be the case. I havent torn open the doors yet.

I fixed the wiper motors, A/C is running (quite well actually) and now I just need to deal with a small hole in the exhaust manifold. The exhaust is original and otherwise in surprisingly good condition.

I LOVE these seats.. great position, perfect shape/size for me. The knob on the side is a godsend, it'll adjust the bolsters to go in and out

 

pics ken, pics.

 

bulletproof engines

man I miss those adjustable bolsters :sigh:

 

you going to be this lude on liability right for insurance?

 

Liability only yes, only $120 a year using USAA

 

 

 

I'll definitely have them by the weekend. Going to detail it first, its still dirty, especially under the spoiler..

 

I've always liked those old Preludes, but they're kind of a migrant worker car in these parts

 

I have USAA and when I had coverage on my lude it was MORE expensive than my 99 CL...

For some reason I think I had full coverage, but I have no clue why at the time, cause I only carry liability if the car is over 10 years old...but it came handy after the wreck.

 

can't wait for pics
