640hp Turbo Honda Prelude Racecar, With Parts off of a 747??

Unlikely time attack cars are our favorite kind of time attack cars. And the Honda Prelude is definitely a car that you wouldn’t expect to see duking it out with Vettes, Evos, and the like. But with all the right parts, like a 600+ hp turbo’d H22 putting power down to some 315 width meats, this home built monster is well on its way to surprise more expected machinery.

An SUV ran a red light and hit my drivers side door, totaling the car. I miss it. This video brought back great memories, even though the car is so heavily modified and gutted, there's still some soul there. Thanks for this episode.

@roach362 3 жыл бұрын

It was made to be a salaryman's "sports car" in the same way the Celica was a "sports car" after the 80's. The engines were the same as the common hatches/sedans but the body and suspension was changed/upgraded. The reason they weren't popular is that they were expensive compared to cars that came with the same engine/output and because of that there wasn't nearly as much aftermarket support. Look at the difference in support of the AE86 to the Celica A60/T160, same goes for the EG/EK civics and the BA/BB Prelude. It's a mad build to be sure, but there's a solid reason you didn't see many.

@redcatxb125 2 жыл бұрын

he's smart to use a type sh body, the suspension geometry is fundamentally different in the front. the base model uses a lower control arm and and radius arm that bolts to the lower control arm, then going to the knuckle with 1 ball joint. the type sh uses two lower control arms (although one is still referenced as a radius arm) and each has its own separate ball joint, or two ball joints per knuckle not including the upper control arm ball joint. I own a 2000 Premium White Pearl Prelude type SH and it makes me so happy to see people really pushing what the platform is capable of.

Love Preludes. I have one myself it was my first car love. He’s correct too these have double wishbone suspension you won’t get on Accords. And the engine sits lower to the ground and you have a sort of wedge shape. I never got why people complain about them being heavy, meanwhile they’re happy to build a 4-door Accord which were always heavier than Preludes.

Its nice that FWD's have been able to show that they are FAST and very consistent. RWD is probably faster on most tracks, but when traction is an issue (in the rain, dusty track etc) a FWD can put the power down more predictably.
