    Just inherited a gen 4 prelude from my Great Aunt with 57,000 miles on it. Very lucky to have one in similar condition.

    those cars were so well-engineered. They looked like each detail was poured over and refined. How we got so far from this, with all the confusing screens and button-less designs, I'll never know! Add to that the greatest manual transmissions in history, and the zingy twin-cam motors. When that Prelude came out, I was a car-audio installer and we were overjoyed that they had those forward facing speakers on each side of the dash. I must have done 20 systems on those car.

      Absolutely. The sound staging is pretty spot on.

      I don't even have rear speakers in mine , a single 10 in the trunk and 6.5 components up front. All it needs.

    So clean and pristine! It’s so rare to see a survivor Prelude that hasn’t been used and abused or riced out obnoxiously. I’m very lucky to have a 95’ SE, but it has four times the miles and more ‘character’ from the adventures of a previous owner. Since it wasn’t so perfect I decided to go full retard and customize it since why not? It’s still going to be somewhat restrained, still performance and touring capable. Thanks for the vid!

    I bought a 92 Prelude a long time ago, and I remember how much I loved it. It was just such a nice little car, and the dashboard was dope. My only complaint was that I got an automatic, and the transmission is sluggish on those. I wish I had a manual and kept it. Amazing cars, and they will soon explode in value.

    I have the same colored prelude special edition, same color interior but mine seats are leather. My prelude was pretty much just as straight until a year ago and an old lady scrapped my front bumper . A few times I've been nicked at the shopping center so I have a couple dimples here and there now sadly. I have the o.g radio still too lol. I love that these ludes are more appropriated now.

    Ive always wanted a 4th gen prelude and instead ended up with a cd5 accord shitbox with alot of rust but i know my next honda will be one of three either a 4th gen prelude, del sol or a first gen cr-v all with a manual (cause if i wanted basic mundane reliable transportation id by a ae92 corolla)

    Didn't the si come with standard VTEC?

    • @quackgarage9551
      @quackgarage9551 Рік тому +2

      No. It's the H23 engine (which is more torquey) and also sounds pretty good despite not having a VTEC.

    • @TheBb6prelude
      @TheBb6prelude 10 місяців тому +1

      H23a1 160/156 crank. Surprisedly quick for what it is. I beat GSRs,b16s when I had the stock H23a1. Beat a few stock cooper S SC versions and kept up to a 2v mustang. That car has a FBO pro2 cam F20b now and is WAY faster.

    I have the 5th gen SH which a lot of folks prefer. Bigger engine, faster more tech. The 5th gen was built to save wt. IMO the car was not put together as well as previous gens. Lots of rattles, thin metal. This engine has a reputation for using excessive oil, mine does not but has a rear main oil leak(common in 5th gen). Is your 4th gen a quality build with solid construction ??? Nice car.

    I so want one of these. Looking for a 2018 honda si sport but 90+% are all pathetic automatics.
    And can someone PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY A HONDA CIVIC TYPE R IS $55K , THAT'S OVER $15K ABOVE MSRP.
    WHY IS A TOURING TYPR R CIVIC THAT'S NEARLY IDENTICAL ENGINES AND POWER YET $22000 LESS EXPENSIVE.
    SO FOR $6K FOR PRINSTINE PRELUDE, I MSY SAVE $15K ANG GET ONE OVER A 4 YR OLD CIVIC SPORT MANUAL 6 SPD

    I had a 1992 S model in 2002-2004, we did intake, headers and exhaust and 17” wheels - it was such a fun car.
