Hey guys and girls, here's a little bit of nostalgia - we drove a 30-year old Honda Prelude up the mountain, courtesy of its proud owner, Max Teoh who kindly let me have a go with it.
For a 30-year old car, it is pretty good, and actually drives much better than a 30 year old E30, for example.
Well, I had fun, and so we put up this video to share the joy with all of our viewers, and since it is a manual, we also put in a foot cam.
Please enjoy the video and let us have your comments below.

Uncle Khong, I have one too and I found out if I take late apex I can keep the rpm higher and go faster around the corner and sometimes less understeer. I don't know if this car have 4ws but i bought mine without because my previous one when I was a youth was so unpredictable with the 4ws system. Anyway, thanks for the video. Really gained plenty of input here

So nice to see Uncle Khong giving this classic some love! Mine is 1991... first production run chassis 😃 I'm restoring mine at the moment... unfortunately it's auto 😅. But with Auto... still can push VTEC to open 😄 Still not confident to take up genting yet as check engine light comes on and off... still can't identify why 🤣

First you have to identify the source of the noise; only then can you know what that noise is. Commin oroblem, considering the age would be shockers, bushes, or ball joints. Could be rack also.

The CL1 Accord Euro R gearbox have closer gear ratio than the original Prelude gearbox. I think the owner got conned.

@YSKhongDriving Жыл бұрын

Hmmm, interesting.

@phasehonda Жыл бұрын

It could be the Prelude ECU tune and camshaft profile did not match the T2W4 gearbox. From my recollection the CL1 Euro R is always on vtec when you upshift. T2T4 - 3.285 - 1.956 - 1.344 - 1.034 - 0.812 - 4.266 LSD T2W4 - 3.285 - 2.090 - 1.481 - 1.071 - 0.812 - 4.266 LSD

Vtech not for Speed but for saving fuel . Actually Vtec is Viarable Valve Timing VVT Mitsubishi use Mivec other brands used VVT. Viarable Valve Timing for saving fuel. VVT has 2 cam. when low speed small cam be used. When high speed bigger cam be used. air intake get more air for combustion

@d15z1sux Жыл бұрын

Depends what application of VTEC, different Honda engines have different versions of it. H22a, b16a, b18c has 2 cam profiles. High and low, it allows you to run a high cam profile for power while keeping low end drivability with the low cam profile. D15z1 has the economy VTEC-E which is just switching between 12 and 16 valves for economy.

@@firdauskamaruzaman6714 You need to do some reading. A VTEC engine will always be more powerful than the equivalent engine with no VTEC. A turbo engine has a lot more power potential than a VTEC engine, but a turbo is not necessary to make an engine more powerful. It's just alot easier and a more efficient way to increase the power of an engine hence why it is seen alot more now.

@@firdauskamaruzaman6714 yah that's variable valve timing, but VTEC in it's performance application is variable valve time and also lift. You need to look at the application it is being used, is it a Honda jazz or a Honda type R. There's a big difference in the way it's being used there, don't just look at your text book. Look at real world applications. Have you actually driven the different VTEC and seen how they work and what is the difference in fuel consumption, power and performance despite they have similar capacity. D16y4 vs b16b, f22a vs h22a. Don't tell me h22a and b16b is for economy lol.
