Yeah I reckon the 5th gen was when they finally got it right

Even better is a base model with an LSD. ATTS adds weight and a solid percentage of failures and issues. Many people delete it for that reason. I have cornet balanced Eibach suspension on my base model and I can actually get the rear to step out in sharp corners when I throw the car into them hard enough.

@@jordanjoestar8839 , agreed regarding a Base with an LSD - essentially the SiR S Spec model sold in Japan. Those were my main pet peeves of the ATTS. Great system otherwise, as it is the precursor to the SH-AWD equipped in Acura's mainstream models

@@jordanjoestar8839ATTS is actually lighter than an LSD from what I have read, the computer having a chance of going out is the main issue with ATTS compared to LSD

Oh yeah man same here

Mine is not new but I can relate to your feeling.

Nice!

Pleased to hear!

For sure man, wrx's have always been cheap...

Just checked in our Honda system this morning and yep! Definitely Eucalyptus Green

Got it done finally!

Doubt I'll bring the car over but if I'm in aus I'll let you know!

Oh yeah absolutely - driven a 4th and 5th gen lude and they're awesome

Thanks!

Very nice!

wouldn’t it be a H22Z1, i have an ATTS and the red tops only come with the Z1’s

@@calvinnguyen5182 No it was a H22A red top 217hp in the JDM Type S

Oh yeah man so good aye

Yeah man it's very lovely

Hmmm maybe!

Got it done for ya bro! Even put it out a couple weeks early coz I knew you were keen haha

@@KiwiCarLife You got it done for me as well! I have these same 2 cars, and they have simular mods! Lol I have had my BB6 for 21 years now, and my CL9 for 9 years. 😊 Only difference in your review, is that my Prelude with the H22A, M2B4 LSD trans, and so many other mods, is faster, than my TSX, although it would be CLOSE. The TSX is pretty quick, and the more I mod it, the slower my Prelude gets. 😂🤣

@@Kantoh22 Haha yes eventually the K24 catches up... it's certainly a more competent engine in the long run but the H22 is more characterful

no no no, you need the traditional CRX, not the del sol. massive difference in weight, the crx weighs nothing I had a flat battery for about a month and use to clutch start it myself, was quite easy.

@@KiwiCarLife Much appreciated 🙏.

Oh yeah nice

Mmm yeah Type S prelude would be cool... I do know someone with one so might be able to tee that up

@@KiwiCarLife cheers bro , keep them rolling awesome content. honda All day

Might have been good in the day (I agree with that) but 25-30 years removed? Different story. That said, the BB6 Prelude and CD5 Accord have been the two exceptions. Both felt really good inside even despite the age. But 90's Civic's and Integra's I've been in or driven are too old, cheap and rattly for me.

@@KiwiCarLife well to be fair the Civic was the affordable compact car of the time and the Integra was based off of the Civic. So no surprise the interiors of the two don’t quite hold up to the Accords, which was always way ahead of its Japanese competition. I owned an EG and CD5, both 94 models and both of them leaps and bounds beyond other manufacturers equivalent vehicles of the same time frame.

Great to hear!

@@KiwiCarLife can you recommend a good clutch?. Its done 200k on the clock and needs doing..

Yuuurs

@@KiwiCarLife iv owned 1 cl7a. CL9 and Now the CM1 And 2, 5 gen preludes 1 bb9 and 1 bb6

@@hondamanvtec2894 very nice 👍

Haha yuuurs

Still the luckiest deal of a car ever, got it cheap because it got a problem stalling frequently with green key light blinking and the owner thought it was gonna be expensive. I just replaced the ignition switch for few dollars, you know how it blinks the light few times after you turn the key to 0.

@@Pottunuija yeah that's easy as

Yeah man they're pretty cool cars

G23? I thought there was only the 20 and 25

F23 bottom end, K20 pistons, H head. Often referred to as a G (because its between F and H) Similar to B20 with B16/B16 head swap

@@AverageInspirationNZ oh right I thought you were referring to the 5 cyls

@@KiwiCarLife I'm building a 700ho G23 right now. I'll post when done.

Awesome car man!

No h22 tho

Thanks and unfortunately no because it's part of Honda NZ's collection now

Potential yes, but remember mine is heavily modified now. That prelude (because it's stock) only makes about 110wkW, mines making over 150. So mine will absolutely destroy it if we both are in the right gear. First race I was 1 gear higher and I still kept up

K24 has more aftermarket support than k20. People mod the 24 way more due to extra displacement

plategame.com.au

Goodness that’d go well!

The one before this has a very cramped interior

Defo

@@paul--b I'm 6'1 and I fit perfectly fine and have space to move the seat back more if needed. Not sure what you're talking about.

@@TheBb6prelude Car and Driver 1997 Prelude review “Interior room has been improved so that the rear seats-unlike those of the previous model-are genuinely usable by adults for short trips. We discovered this when our six-foot-two photographer occupied the rear seat for some down-the-road shot and then declined the opportunity to return to the front seat for the rest of the trip.”

I'm a 4th Gen owner since 1997 and the body style looks much better to me, particularly with tasteful ground effects. The back seat, however, is much more cramped and basically unusable except for small children and packages (I've always thought of my Prelude as a grownup CRX, which I also used to own). The front seat space is essentially the same.

Yeah agree

@@yeeztodge6654 yuuuuurs

Lovely vehicles

Sorry man but those garbage android tablets people stick on their dashboard are just awful in my opinion... get an FM transmitter and a phone mount.

@@KiwiCarLife Fair enough. I did have alot of problems with fm transmitters

It's an awesome car!

@@KiwiCarLife agreed, I love my BB6. Don't think I'd ever part with it

Nice man!

I don't haha

Oh that’s epic man! Nice car

Nice!

Need to get my hands on one... not too common here

Ooh yeah gotta be up there they're epic cars

5th gen is quite similar to drive but way better build quality and interior. 4th gen is weird looking imo

4th gen is much closer to 50/50 weight distribution. Lighter and faster in any way of comparing. As styling everyone has their taste

@@endlesstwisties Thanks a lot mate! Salutari din Targu-Mures! M-am abonat

@@KiwiCarLife Thanks a lot mate!

@@Edgar_84 ai Prelude si tu ?

Yeah as with most 5 Speed Hondas. Good car tho!

The best thing one can do is changing the gear box. U2Q7 with LSD for European Accord Type R is the best I think. Short gear ratios and a short final gear. A 5th gen with this gear box accelerates way better.

Nice!

@@KiwiCarLife the Accord is a more livable car, roomier, more mod friendly, but it’s missing something that the Prelude and other 90s Hondas have. I’d love to own a CL1 but they’re not legal in the US until mid-2025.

Probably the prelude - just coz it's lighter and feels a bit less cumbersome. Even just a better set of tyres would improve the prelude in this vid enormously

@@KiwiCarLife I don't think so. Prelude is awesome, but still only 100kg lighter than accord. Engine wise, k24 has a lot more potential than H22a. And in terms of chassis, keep in mind you only have springs with stock suspension ... And already have a very competent behaviour. Serious accords preparations usually have: coilovers, rear and front stability bars, poliuretan silent blocks, and a lot of various reforcement bars along the chassis, and of course, LSD. an accord with that is a serious weapon. 4gen prelude are a more serious rival in terms of chassis, which are, practically an integra

@@Esdru221 Yeah true

@@Esdru221 unless the k24 has the 50 degree vtc basic bolt ons they are pretty much the same.

@@notsure3535 no, just no. Kiwicarlife's doesn't have 50° vtc and you can see how k24 destroyed h22a4. A cl9, only with reflash and nothing more is quicker than an accord euro R with h22a7 212hp and civic type R Fn2 stock.

Yeah it's a great engine!

The prelude is best with a manual, 4at ruins the car. And no that road has a high speed limit, is relatively wide and no where near any suburbs. The video makes it look fast but most of the time I was barely going over 50

Lovely car

Yeah they did, but Honda had quite a few 5 spoke wheels back in the 90's

Yes

Yep bone stock

@@KiwiCarLife wow, so only the vti-r got the black top?

I like the Prelude in stock form. Rides well and is a real gem to drive

Is it

Yep
