I'm definitely an AWD/RWD fan, 2 AWD cars (2019 Golf R DSG and 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4, believe it or not the VR4 is almost as fast and it's stock) and my DD is RWD (Mercedes E420) with some light mods. I've also always had a soft spot for Preludes. Im not a Honda fan at all but they're awesome cars - great lines, quick, not torqueless like most Hondas, and lots of tech. BTW, have you noticed the fanboying around the new Civic Type R? It's INSANE.

I have a RWD Honda and a FWD Prelude. Prelude it's just better at speed while cornering. Never think twice when you want a Prelude

That's because this looks like it should be RWD

I had so much fun driving my prelude back in high school, definitely one of the high points of my life.. made it to woodstock 99 from detroit, and back in record time...

Seriously. I'd love to see another Prelude. I love the 4th/5th gen, they were quick even stock, looked great and handled great. Interior was better than my (then) 1998 Eclipse GS-T (I'm a Mitsu fan, now own a stock '95 3000GT VR-4) and it was nearly as fast stock to stock. I drove a 5th gen SH and wanted one as a DD, I was super impressed with the handling and quality, couldn't find one that wasn't salvage or raped to hell by some kid. Ended up with a much more boring Mercedes-Benz E420. Did you mod any of yours? Why are they so underrated by Honda fans?! If I was into Hondas my first choice would be a Prelude.

@@GolfR-eady i'd love an Eclipse, we didn't get them in the UK. Both my 4th and 5th Gens were Japanese imports so they had slightly more power out of the box. The 5th gen was just lowered with Civic type r wheels, i didn't want to modify it a lot because it was so nice to drive. The 4th gen i used to use as a track car and had quite a lot of modifications, was pushing out 228 bhp with bolt on modifications and it was quite a quick car with all the weight taken out of it. I've never really understood why they were never that appreciated by other Honda enthusiasts, i always just asumed it was because they were more expensive to insure than the Civics. When i had my 4th gen a lot of my other friends wondered why i sold my Civic for it but they soon changed there opinion once they went in it. I love Civics but the Preludes are a much more special place to sit in comparison. Especially the 4th gen with big digital dash.

@@LeadFootash23 LeadFoot TV Agreed! I can understand the appeal of the Civic being cheaper, but the Prelude is such a cooler car. I liked that Eclipse but I own a 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 that i absolutely love, it's all stock and runs 13.2-13.4@102-104 depending on how bad I feel like absuing my clutch lol. It was sold as the GTO in the UK if I'm not mistaken but I think your guys version has 280BHP, we got 320bhp and 315tq. It's not the best around corners but it's the fastest car stock that I've owned in a straight line, and I'll never modify it. I really want a Prelude as a DD, but all the ones I see are either huge mileage or trashed by some young kid. I'd trade in my E420 DD for a nice 4G or 5G in a second.

@@LeadFootash23 and your ludes sound sick. The 5g sounds beautiful and the 4g I'm sure was quick as all hell. I'm so jealous of the grey market there! I'm waiting to import a 2G GTO MR, those things run high 12s stock.

@@LeadFootash23 sorry about that last comment, my phone is a pos. Your ludes sound sick - the 5G sounds gorgeous and the 4G sounds quick as all hell. Shit, now I'm gonna spend hours on CL looking for a clean Prelude. I've always wanted one after I drove that SH. You have good taste!

Ain't life a bitch.

I keep toasting my hondas too

@@Fidelitye sounds more like his aunt is...

Too much third gear vtakkkkkk

Because you didn't drove a 4th gen yet. Lighter and closer to 50/50

@@endlesstwisties you think so...the 4thgen handles great but the 5thgen feels more stable in my experience...atleast in factory form.

Base or SH? AT or MT?

Luis Aguero it’s a base manual 😊👍🏽

There's more value to keep it stock. Trust me I just spent the last 3 months with probably close to 500 hrs of research and finally got a fat list of parts together. Let's just say the total of the parts came to be a nice down payment on the new civic type R. The next collector cars are Japanese cars from the 90s so keep is stock you can't go wrong. I bought an SH just to mod it and its not worth it, there's not many left that are original.

Devin Wescott so my 87 2gee should be a collector car now then 🤔

@@lordchango7949 It could be! It's old enough for collector plates. There's one in Vancouver asking 18 grand because it only has 22000 km

Plus a red headliner though

The bb6 s-spec is like a type r. I have a 97 with a red interior sir swap plus a H22a red top. Other parts I have is the type s flush spoiler with Jdm fogs and window rain guards. H22a red top has 220 hp and 161 torque. It pulls nice and vtec crossover sounds so nice

I have one lol in electron blue and bbs wheels with coilovers.

Used to be able to find them everywhere, now they are all hidden!

Crx si, integra da gsr.

EG6 SiR-S, EK9 Type RX & DC2 Type RX

You can have a go in my JDM Twin Turbo Legacy GTB if you want...(280bhp and Bilstein suspension from factory) manual. I'm a mission away though....

Modified e92 m3 compared to yours

Glanza v

Thank you :)

So true. I wanted one as a DD about 5 years back and couldn't find one that wasn't owned by a douche.

I’m selling mine just like this one

James Stephen I love all Preludes so yes defo U.K. ones too 🤭

Im not a Honda fan but the Prelude was the coolest car Honda ever created. Why do Honda fans overlook them? I asked someone back in the 90s and they mentioned something about them not taking well to mods? I drove a 5th gen SH and it was amazing. I owned a stock 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T at the time, and although the Prelude felt slower, it did *everything else better* . I almost switched lol. Later, about seven years ago, I wanted one as a DD and couldn't find one that wasn't 200k miles plus or trashed by some teenager, I must have gone and looked at seven of them and none were appropriate. Shame, I ended up with a boring E420 instead. I still want one.

I like the Preludes myself. Got a 2g and a 5g in project mode. Which gens did you have?

Is that an FD3 in your photo? Those are one of the most beautiful cars to come out of Japan. I went with and still own an all stock 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4, it's fast in a straight line (runs consistent 13.2-13.4@102-104mph depending on how much I want to ruin my clutch lol) but I cross shopped it with the FD3, Z32 and MK4, and I loved the FD3. Handles insanely well and so gorgeous, and I liked the sequential TT set up. It was so light, like Lotus light. Ended up getting the VR-4 because I loved the torque rush and it was faster off the line than the (imo overrated) Supra Twin Turbo which drove boring - and I'm a huge AWD fan.

Also, I'm not a a Honda fan but the Prelude is a gorgeous car and performs well all around. Wanted one as a DD about seven years back and couldn't find one that wasn't trashed to hell by some teenager.

Im sorry to let you know but integras pull harder 100 percent so i feel like ur trying to justify your decision. Ill give you something real tho to justify ur decision. The h22 is the best sounding inline 4 ever made hands down so use that when bragging about ur car but dont pretend its quicker

@@lollol-xp4mc modified h22 pull harder than any other modified 4cylinder honda, about same performance just more torque but not as reliable unless you fully sleeve and rebuild engine, exception to modified k24/k20 similar power but has more torque & k series more reliable. Integras feel quicker cause they lighter and have closer ratio's in gearbox. H2B civic Ek/Eg is quicker than most type R Integra and civics mod for mod.

Is the sir s spec the same as the type s because i saw some engines called type s im not sure if its the same

@@thebrotha7477 no theyre different models

Damn same but im putting mine in a ek civic and im putting a b series trans behind it

jmoneyent9 nice dude what’s your Instagram I’ll give you a follow!!

That's gonna be fast as hell! I'm not a huge Honda fan but damn you can't build a faster car for cheaper than the EK/EGs.

2018 Golf R-eady ? Yep made a bit of cash back on the Prelude parts I didn’t need too. Engine and box worked out basically free lol

Have you tried manual

Mine is just like this one

😆

You would hate both mine after seeing their tail lights

Man we lost out on those J Spec specials. I have a stock USDM 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4, it runs 13.2-13.3@102-104mph consistently. Im waiting until I can import a 2G J spec GTO MR, those run high 12s stock

The SH was sick. Preludes are so underrated even among Honda fanatics. It's a shame as they're amazing cars

Oscar Peña intake and a tune

I agree. I have a 2g running and a 5g in project 👍🏽

@@lordchango7949 that's cool the 2nd and 3rd gen are possibly my favorites they sit really low and sleek and the nsx used some of it's style cues

4th gens are my favorite. They were quick stock, high 6s to 60 and probably high 14s with a good driver. A good race stock v stock against a Mitsu Eclipse turbo 1G.

And so balanced like they're up there with the best handling cars ever made. The Jun prelude is a good example of how track capable they really are

@@jblane100 Very very true. They're handling is out of this world, i drove a 5th gen and was blown the fuck away. It actually out handled Vettes and Ferraris at one point.

nathan hewitt it’s half kilo half miles so not exactly sure what the actual mileage is but somewhere in the region of 50k kms
