Lack of aftermarket support. Just like us Del Sol enthusiasts. The lack of support honestly introduces u to a lot of ppl who are passionate to these black sheep hondas.

97+ prelude are becoming rare already you don’t see them much anymore. save the preludes beautiful body they have

This channel has made me want a prelude even more. Decided to just buy a 97 prelude. Now I've got the Fk8 Type R for weekends and the Prelude for daily driving and fun little projects :)

The Prelude body lines are orgasmic. I have a 99, had it for 13 years. I aint ever getting rid of it. Blaka.

Preludes are getting the love😋they deserve wish my prelude was that clean

When you can take pride in what you have and can admit to having priorities and you still dream about your car at the end of the day your a true car guy in my opinion A1 nice lude

Beautiful black sheep. Always great to see these lude build. Simple. Sleek. Stylish.

I love seeing this, I just picked a 97 prelude with 97k on it without a single spec of rust and I love it. Finding certain parts have been difficult but this thing is beautiful and this definitely makes me want to put the money into mine!

Do not sell for civic. No way! Prelude for life🤙

Im so happy I got a 97 prelude and its a Manual transmission and hard to find but I'm glad I bought it for dirt cheap lol these things are a beauty

Looks very clean. This is one of the best looking imports from that era.

You sir have a new subscriber! Keep up the golden age era content! We all love it fam

Finally!!! bb6 Prelude!!! I been waiting for this!!

This is the first prelude that it have nice interior everything is perfect in sise looks professional and quality parts and looks super clean in fresh in

I’ve always loved that model prelude

Love this style prelude next to the 94-97 accord coupe and sedan.

That lude is nice bruh, cleanest lude I've seen so far , aside from the bay which still didnt look dirty in the least , a shaved and tucked bay will compliment the exterior immensely, clean ass build bro very nice oh and go supercharged .

My dad bought me my first car in 2001. It was a 1997 Honda Prelude H22. Bluish silver and only had like 34k miles on it. Was an awesome car and I miss it. Amazingly underrated car. I did a tons of stuff to it back then. Used to turn so many heads and so many of my friends loved it. Funny enough I had the worst car out of my friends lol. One had a 94 NA Supra, one had a supercharged Type R integra, and another had a brand new 2002 Acura RSX type S. All these cars are still loved to this day. We didn’t realize how lucky we were.

another nice honda, love the laid back style of the vids

Back in 2000, I purchased a 97 Prelude, automatic. Did a few minor upgrades, exhaust and AEM, 18’ wheels. After realizing the potential of this car, I changed the transmission to 5 speed stick, added headers and ACT clutch. Unfortunately I threw a rod about two weeks later, shit happens right? lol. After this, I put my Prelude in Frankenstein mode... went all out. Turbonetics t3/t4 hybrid, eagle pistons and rods... , did a swap to a Jspec h22, best decision I ever made for my Prelude. At 8lbs boost, it was hitting 300+ to the wheels. Lots of other cosmetic upgrades as well, the car ended up being more for show than the track, but I took it all up and down the east coast, with my trailer and on the highway... definitely had my fun with her

These year honda prelude are amazing sports cars. The SH models are amazingly fun and the technology is ahead of times even still.

Sorry Chad! Awesome guy and thank you for letting me know about Chris! I appreciate all of you!

I love preludes. This one is super nice.😍

very NICE BB6. keep up the good work.

Great Lude from an 01 Canadian SE owner! 🇨🇦👍🏻

Ive watched this 3 times over the past few months. This ludes sooooo clean! Love it

I literally ran Into Chris at the smog station in Long Beach 👍🏻 great guy and was down to share some information on his build to me. Thanks for this video 🙏🏻

I freaking love them wheels man. The bay is nice & clean.

Im so glad he picked all the mods he likes, he didnt let anyone else's opinion change what he wanted to do to his car

Clean build ....Love my BB1 Prelude

I got a white 98 base model type S cloning it 👌 its gorgeous, this one is super clean bro 🔥

If it’s not broken don’t fix it!! Dude the car looks awesome. Don’t feel pressured to upgrade anything that may become problematic down the line. If it’s balanced as is, leave it be.

Nice build, those mugen headers are the best for the lude, super rare. Love the color scheme. My black 98 lude been in the garage for 6 years...

love your prelude! from japan 👍

Clean homie, keep it up! I have a BB1 (4th gen 94 h22a1 Vtec), been sending it too and agree that’s it a total package and the lines are sweet. Honda didn’t do it much better IMO. Civics and integras are a dime a dozen, part of the sheep heard, quite boring now and days actually. But, Preludes... well, they are there own breed and unique. Were hot way before Acura even existed. Yeah, I said it. Rock on ninja! 😎🤙🏻

Very nice prelude, I don’t see many of these nicely modded.

Preludes always been my favorite honda. The 91 si is my favorite BY FAR

Beautiful lude bro very inspiring I just picked up stock 01 h22a4 hopefully it will look nice someday like yours

That is a super clean example of a 5thgen Honda Prelude, I wouldn't change a thing aesthetically speaking. I own a '99 Base model in Nordic Mist that came from the factory with a 5speed manual shift transmission and the original owner opted for the factory wing, black leather interior, carbon fiber accents and it actually has the tether strap anchors on the rear deck for baby seats. This is my second 5thgen, the first '99 I owned had the sport shift A/T. My first 5thgen was a fun ride but sprung a trans fluid leak, common issue with the Automatic Transmission. Anyway keep up the good work with your '97 5thgen!!

Love the ludes! Keep them coming!

Another Prelude!!!! I love the look of this one! Keep it up, Gus! We are all watching!!!

Wow! Sooo clean! 100% well done

Beautiful car ive always like the prelude

I have a 99 pearl white sir s-spec prelude. Absoultely love it because it's so rare. Look unreal in black really nice car this good job👌

Love preludes, plan on getting one soon, looks amazing bro keep unloading

Man that's a bad ass ride i love it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I ain't gonna lie, I thought it would be rice when I saw red wheels on the thumbnail but it's actually a really nice looking car! I'm impressed. Perfect fitment on the wheels and tires. I'm thinking about buying one. I just hope it will look half as good as this.

Well done.

Glad I still have mine

I've always loved preludes. I owned a 90 si 4ws at one time and it was a fun car Those decals on the windshield would really bother me while driving but besides that man,very nice car

Nice interview and run down of the car. In the process of building one and I am going to reach out to him and ask some questions 👍🏽

Sick keep at it

Daaaaaamn throw back with island motorsports that shop was the shit back in my hs days back in 2003

Sweet prelude content

The design of these cars is totally overlooked. The low hood line is to improve handling and dates back to the 1st gen. This also has double wishbone independent suspension and a better power to weight when stock to the Civics and even GSR’s. Handling is amazing and although heavier than the Civics of the time the H22 makes up for it and by todays standards it is not a heavy car at all. I have a VW GLi and it’s slower than my Prelude was stock. Also, the aftermarket support is pretty great. Not as good as Civics but still good

Nice LUDE I would go down the itb root!

Todavía no lo veo completamente todo pero se que va estar genial como todos tus videos hermano saludos y abrazos 👍

Save the ludes!!! Dope black lude. Wish mine was! I daily my white 99 base with a bluetop H23A, all exterior restored to stock- dericed it from previous owner.

10-11 years of ownership. Wish I never scrapped my SIR model few years back now.

Very tasteful mods. Only thing i wouldve done different is no cage and a s2000 steering wheel.

Beautiful prelude! Maybe youd like another 5th gen on your channel

94-97 Accord 97 Prelude best models hands down, if they were to bring the prelude back that would be awesome.

Nicee prelude, i own a black 97 sh... bone stock motor, just lowered planning on keeping it stock motor with mild bolt ons

man that's clean

Still have my 98 sh, h22a euro r engine, skunk2 manifold, throttle body and full catback exhaust, megan headers running p28 chipped and tuned. It's a great little car. My only complaint is storage. Is why I still have my v6 6sp altima as well lol

Awesome car man nicely done always liked preludes too bad Honda stoped making them Dude just a suggestion I think you should make some Automotive Anatomy decals I'd love to put one on my car

Beautiful car

Sick Prelude

Great rear end!

Hope I can buy my si Honda prelude by next week .

damn Chris went to my HS, what's up CHRIS!

Prelude’s are going up in value slowly, hoping mine doesn’t get stolen or t boned like my first one

I’m supposed to buy one this week 😁

I just bought my first prelude today! A 2001 base model. I already want to put bolt ons on it but don't know if it's worth it. Many forums state I/H/E don't do much so maybe a port and polish, cams idk

Just got a 97 for 350 buks. A new timing belt brought her back to life. Just got home from the junk yard w a ton of parts. Let the preludes live on!

personaly I liked the dashboards that went all the way across the car

I think "the blacksheep" of the Honda family is the ep3. People tend to hate the ep3's but I love mine.

Prelude gang gang gang. 👍

seen it! I remember them :)

I have an '89 Prelude which ran until last week. today is 3-17-2020 My mechanic is gone for a week and I hope I can have my 31 year old Honda on the road again.

I still look back on this video perfect example what a Prelude should be. A lot of those parts are really expensive.

Cleanest lude I've seen in the game....

I'm surprised he didn't mention the poor turning radius on these Prelude. My only gripe about it, so hard to do U turns in my BB6 lol.

Early 2000s they were everywhere !! Atleast in cali. Now u barely see them

Definitely the black sheep, the Integra type R was the same price, the S2000 was only a little bit more for a pure sports car, and the Civic Si/SiR was a heck of a lot cheaper but still had VTEC

TOO NICEEEEE!

An absolute beauty of a 5th gen, with a humbled owner. Thank you for sharing! Is there any way to follow this build on social media?

Just got a 99 prelude i love it already the body needs some restoration but its 100% worth it such a sick car i wanted to get a something unique like a integra or hatch because i already have a SiR coupe but im so glad i got a prelude best worse decision ever (i overpaid a bit but who cares preludes are sick and rare haha) preludes ftw 👌😍👍

Sweet 'Lude!

I always see that black honda accord in your videos, I can find videos that you make on that car.

Magnifique 👌👌👍👍👍♥️🇨🇵🇨🇵

Sweet😍😍 anyone else gets a pool in the trunk 😂🤣😂🤣

Having owned a prelude for 10 years. The car was not setup for track use from the factory. The suspension has a ton of body roll but it's controllable. You can even snap over steer with it. The car is heavy for the motor but the motors are strong. Coilovers dramatically change the character of the car and handles very good with good coils and decent tires. The rest seats are basically useless so just gut them out along with the trunk. I got my prelude to 2640lbs which is roughly the same weight to a dc2. It still has the stock steering wheel,PS and AC. Add a 230 wheel hp cam'd F20b swap in my 4th gen and it's beating a lot of cars I probably shouldn't even be beating. Easily a 13 sec NA prelude on street tires. I beat a low 13 sec h22a4 bolt on civic coupe on slicks. I have the videos.

Looks just like my lude haha I got a 98 type sh

The thing about the prelude is, it’s essentially a “lightweight” performance variant of the accord coupe (suspension, chassis; albeit modified, and engines are the same. yes an H22 was offered on the accord, starting with the 5th gen Si-R.) and debuted technology to come in the rest of the Honda line up. Before the NSX, the Prelude was the flagship model. It had all the new and experimental technology Honda was developing. But that’s not enough to save it. It’s, an accord in my eyes a very sporty accord. Love the 4th gen, by far the best looking generation imo.

Also is that Accord in the background a v6 manual?

this car looks like mine. same wings west flare. I have 9.5 wide 17 wheels with a lip and some Chinese tires :( my money finished I like those canards so imma prob copy you. i have the halo head lamps. I bet that hood cost some $ anyway super in love with it. hope you keep it lovely bro. yeah where did you/he get the diffusers on the back flare??

In didn't even watch the video. I just liked because it's a prelude and I want a prelude

👍👍 💯

vlean vid and car! what cam u use?
