I have a 1995, I had 2 5th gens, separately ofcourse. I miss them :( but atleast I still have my 1995 4th gen.

@@YoungAmzn Aww what happened to them? The 4th Gens are beauties too! Most people prefer the 4th Gen! 🥰

@@AirForceKrissy I sold the 5th gens but I had them separate times in my life.. and I’m upset always look at memories n pics lol I’m like I’m pissed. I had a nice greyish blue color and a black… I was tryna get electron 5gen back in the day but didn’t find good ones it’s rare a unicorn in blue from factory. Now I got a prelude 4th gen 1995 si.

@@YoungAmzn Aww man lol! I’m definitely keeping mine forever. I believe mine is the rarest color, the fica green pearl as it replaced the eucalyptus green pearl and then the blue. You stepped up at least! Can’t find many Si’s in good shape, let alone a manual type SH! Working on mine has taken a minute

I sold my 5th gen when I was in college and I still regret it to this day.

You have a prelude now

You don't know what you've got til it's gone 😉

It’s kind of funny how people complain about Hondas when they’re being sold then 20 years later they switch up I guess it’s all cars, but still funny.

I loved the previous prelude

Love the 4th gen’s spaceship dash

I like the fourth gen to a lot. Especially the rear end

I missed mine. Traded for a Isuzu trooper after I got married 😣

Well seems like we have an identical first car, is your sliver too

@@tanneratkins5725 Is is silver, and unlike my black car, there was never any need to PPF + ceramic coat it even after hundreds of automatic car washes.

Still looks great, this styling is something you won’t be embarrassed to drive around even today. I used to own a 98’ manual transmission and it drove fantastic. Yes! Honda should bring it back !

Those cars, and that Honda Motor Co.(along with its founder) are sadly gone forever.

Back in 1990, my friend had '90 Civic DX hatachback with already 90K plus miles on it...was the quietest little engine I'd ever seen. I was standing literally right in front of it's radiator scoping my ear(s) and couldn't tell if it was running or not. The other only quietest engine around that time was the Lexus LS400 (TV commercial in 1989).

Yup they are now hard.

Owners group helps a lot

Rack and pinion took me a month to find, first issue I been thru where I needed to wait that long, it would be cool to have a list of stuff that isn’t available no more just to have a idea for the future

Yeah they are very seldom seen even in the South. Pretty much extinct in the north.

Not really. I have a 5th Gen and companies have started making brand new parts again.

Unfortunately the ATTS was very unreliable and most SHs either don’t have it working anymore or have swapped transmissions. Between that and the different suspension parts, the SH is a bit more of a challenge to work with than a base model.

@@interstate366 Was it very unreliable when new? Or only after years of use and abuse?

@@ruthnoya8424 even when new it would start acting up on track days

@Donald Burton boy a 2nd Gen Prelude with 480,000 MILES on it has to be the highest mileage Prelude in the world if not one of the highest ones. I almost bought a 1986 Prelude 5 speed supreme grey metallic with 377,000 km (234,000 miles) but I heard that these A-series of Honda engines weren’t the most durable Honda engines ever made, people hated working on the dual carb systems, they said it was the worst design they ever experienced. Did you ever had to mess around with the dual side-draft carburetors on yours. Most of the Prelude & Accord 80’s A22H1 engines would blow up between 250-300K miles. At least from all the ones I’ve seen on Craigslist. Now if you did 90% or more highway driving in your 83 Prelude then maybe I could see it hitting that over a 2 decade period maybe. But how many years old was your 83 Prelude when it hit 480K? Just wondering because that’s a common mileage achievement in a D or B series Honda engine but not an A-Series Honda engine.

You should check out the new Accord. It’s similar with the less is more theme to this

@@davewilson7602 Yes, the latest wave of Honda models are refreshingly reserved in their appearance. Their CUVs are also very spacious compared to those from their arch enemy Toyota. Having said that, I don't think they are currently matching TMC on the reliability front as they did for decades.

I agree, very much so. Especially the Hyundai/Kia models . They are just trying too hard.

@@davewilson7602 The new accord looks live larger version of the new civic.

Have you seen the new Integra? That era is gone & only the remains of lasting legends to be had.

Would be nice, but I'm curious if Honda thinks there is no business case when Toyota has two rear drive coupes.

@@trdrav4 they look at their sales #'s and go from there. They have offered us so many gems in the past; all fall off in sales which is not worth the cost overall.

An electric version is coming on in a couple years

@@AirForceKrissy electric motor drop in kits for my old whips, all I'm excited to witness. You might be on to something

I know you probably don't want to do anything to that prelude as far as modify it trust me I've had a 1995 Civic EX coupe that I have owned for well over 20 years and also a very very rare addition 2004 Honda Accord V6 6 speed coupe with the very very very rare hfp Honda factory performance package seats lowered suspension from the factory with only 60k original miles both of my cars for one owner vehicles BUT LET ME SAY THIS... I understand the not wanting to modify it and keep it original but with today's standards and getting bored of it I highly suggest doing some simple mods man just do a quality not cheap quality cold air intake AEM is a good one for preludes a quality header and quality cat back exhaust if you want to go a little farther do an exedy stage one or two clutch and lightened flywheel and I promise you it will be like that car is brand new all over again and feel much quicker to you even with those simple mods!! Got a buddy of mine that has a 2001 prelude type sh and he got his from the original owner as well with only 70,000 miles on it keeps it in pristine condition but just like you he eventually got a little bored of its performance and wanted to spice it up a little bit and did those same few mods I listed but tastefully and quality versions of them and I'm telling you it woke that car up significantly by letting it breathe better and made it darn quick too!! That car would beat the mustang GT's of the time the 98 to 04 GT's and even the 05-10 editions with similar mods those age 22s are quick and again I understand wanting to leave it original but just giving it some better breather mods will severely wake that car up And at any point in time you can choose to go back to stock and take all of those pieces off and put it back to original... Trust me I did all of those mods on my 95 Civic EX D16Z6 and my 04 Accord V6 6 speed the Civic even has a fully built engine with high compression Pistons rods Ferrera flat face high comp valves springs retainers stage 3 cam bigger intake manifold and throttle body by skunk2 Dyno tuned on hondata pushing almost 200hp at the wheels that's damn good out of a d series aohc to push b h and k series HP The V6 Accord with full bull times and similar mods is making 320 HP at the wheels tuned on the Dyno with Hondata Sorry for the long comment man you don't have to go as far as me but like I said just quality set of intake header exhaust better clutch and light and flywheel and at any point in time you can take it off and go back to stock if you choose to I would suggest doing that before ever getting bored and selling it it's not for everyone but just a thought

Sorry my voice to text missed a couple things I said but yes my 04 V6 6-speed Accord coupe with the hfp Honda factory performance package comes with an oem front lip OEM rear lip OEM side skirts OEM spoiler the bigger wider Wheels the bigger brake package strut bar sway bars lowered suspension from the factory leather and heated seats But I get it not a lot of people like I said probably like to modify these classic cars but I would much rather see you add a few simple boltins to let it breathe better than to ever sell it especially if you're someone who actually enjoys driving it most people that do keep these things pristine just let them sit in the garage forever and never truly enjoy them

Im 70 retired still have my 1998 prelude eucyluptus green color 5speed. Just ordered an xtool xp518 to troubleshoot problems with this car. Drive my 2006 subaru sti

@@seattlejdmcivicI speed read your comment. Got it:)

They can't even make Civics in any quantity right now.

I hear they may bring it back. Ive owned 3 of these. A 1986 si , 1993 vtec, and have the 98

@@miriamvivo4279 I find that hard to believe with them killing both Civic coupe and Accord coupe.

Please do videos of it. There aren't many videos of that gen on here....

Don’t drink and drive.

@@peteryeung111 I was stone sober. Had just left work.

@@rmp5s It was not an assumption, just a PSA 😁 I had a 98’ dark green, and I think the pearl white was one of nicest. I feel you bro.

@@peteryeung111 Yup. I definitely have driven WAY drunk in the past...for sure. Live and learn. This wasn't one of those times, though. Don't know exactly what happened, but knowing what I know now about vehicle dynamics, I was going too fast for the turn, I hit a bit of ice/water/dirt/whatever, or a combination of the above. It was gorgeous. I still have a thing with pearl white, too...my Sentra Nismo, 370Z and GT-R are all pearl white. 🤣

@@rmp5s I hear you, been there, done that 😆…too many close calls. As we age and gain experience, and we look back on how we can even be that stupid?

The Prelude had a base price of $23,000 in 2001 dollars, almost $40,000 in 2023 dollars. 45k isn’t that far off from reality.

I haven't personally been in any new Hondas. But I thought they got the message and have some really good layouts now. I think the last gen Civic launch with touch screen controls and everybody hated it so the brought back physically controls. I have heard nothing but praise for all their new models interiors. The only criticism I would have is that they are making every model have the same interior. It's a good interior. But kinda sad that no model will be allowed to stand out.

I just bought a '91 with 90K miles. Amazing.

I loved the late 80s early 90s preludes. Never had a chance to own one.

I had one for my first car. They’re fun to drive in an old school way, but very hard to get parts for l, even in comparison to these later Preludes, and hard to work on. It was slower than my 5th gen, but more nimble. I can’t say I miss it other than nostalgia.
