Re: My sexy Prelude
Cool Prelude, very clean. Pretty low mileage, too.
Do you still have it? What kind of work have you done on it, besides the headlights?

Re: My sexy Prelude
Thank you. I love the car. It is such an amazing car to drive. While it's not really fast fast. It is faster than the Mustang I drive everyday (due to this car needing a new clutch as it's gone completely now). I absolutely love the way the car handles.
Mods
-------

4. Honda emblems (red).
5. Exhaust
Future mods
---------------
1. Exhaust (Done)
2. Cherry bomb glasspack resonator (to prevent raspy sounds).
3. Mugen front bumper
4. Acura Integra Voltage Blue Metallic paint job
5. RHD conversion
6. Honda Prelude Type S digital climate control
7. Maybe put in a JDM H23 engine with a JDM H22A head and rebuild it
8. Camshafts, Valves/Springs, Pistons, Resleeve it
9. Maybe put a turbocharger on it, if I can be able to keep A/C, P/S and ABS.
10. Maybe install a LSD.
11. 17" rims
12. Front/Rear strut bars
13. Front/Rear anti-sway bars
14. Lower it with some good coilover kit
15. Add side and rear lip kit
16. Custom valve cover paint job, since my current one is is going to hell slowly.
17. Cold Air Intake
18. Header
19. Get a lot of the interior done in CF.
Repairs left
----------------
1. OEM Clutch
2. OEM flywheel
3. Lower ball joints in the front
4. Rear main seal
5. Oil pan gasket

I already have all the parts for it. Just need to get my mate over here to help me with it. Which should be sometime this week hopefully, since I will be getting the last part (flywheel) today or tomorrow.
I know my car my look kinda bad right now. I'm trying to save up really for a paint job right now as it needs one as a few places are bubbling. Grateful it has no rusting issues.

Re: My sexy Prelude
Nice...I've always liked those Preludes. They handle great and have that nice, low looking stance on the road.
What's with the gun on the front seat?

Re: My sexy Prelude
Just looks like it needs a thorough detailing, not a whole new paint job. Looking good so far though.

Oh, I had took pictures of my car for a mate when I had gotten back from the store and had my gun with me. Plus, I was cleaning it out also.Shadow wrote:Nice...I've always liked those Preludes. They handle great and have that nice, low looking stance on the road.

Yeah I know. Once I get my new clutch installed. It will be getting a better detailing, since I lack a car vacuum. I'll have pictures after I get it repaired and detailed.DKaz wrote:Just looks like it needs a thorough detailing, not a whole new paint job. Looking good so far though.

Re: My sexy Prelude
Based on your username I pictured the car to be white, of course. I really like your car but those headlights are rather ricey in my opinion.

Re: My sexy Prelude
You keep on saying "mate," but you live in Texas. I'm confused

LOL. Got into British English. So I use that over American English spelling and use a few BE slang, etc. Happens when you have a few British friends and dated a chick from the UK.six wrote:You keep on saying "mate," but you live in Texas. I'm confused

Re: My sexy Prelude
The tyres are all organised by colour, and there is a spare in the boot.

They probably have a different word for "spare" too.six wrote:The tyres are all organised by colour, and there is a spare in the boot.
Don't forget "bonnet".

Re: My sexy Prelude
Here's a picture of the engine
When I get my transmission out and able to get more up in there. I will be washing all that up and look like it's brand new (to the point I can get it.)

Re: My sexy Prelude
The spelling is one thing, but my favorite thing is when they say "I'm gutted for you, mate" whenever something bad happens. I don't know why, but that always makes me laugh.six wrote:The tyres are all organised by colour, and there is a spare in the boot.
And don't ever argue with someone from "across the pond" when it comes to the the word "aluminum". For whatever reason, they all seem to really hate the fact that we say "aluminum" when we apparently should say "aluminium".
