Got another Honda! Prelude this time

[Steve_Si]

Always end up with Hondas lol

This time around I chose a budget model Honda. Ever seen a 5th gen lude without a H22A?

JDM models came out like this:

Xi 2.2 F22B SOHC non-vtec
Si 2.2 F22B DOHC non-vtec
SiR 2.2 H22A
SiR S Spec H22A red top
SiR Type-S H22A red top + ATTS

I picked a Si model this time, seeing as I never use vtec much on my SiR wagon or the Torneo I used to have.

So it lacks the following specs that all USDM models have:
-Sun Roof
-Vtec
-5 stud wheels

But it has a few options that the Japanese liked to hold on to:
-Fog lights
-Climate Air Controls
-Electric folding mirrors

Anyway, it has done around 57k miles and is tidy as.

Looks Great! :thumbup:

[Civic Accord Honda]

nice!

[ghettogeddy]

fn sex

[carotman]

I never realised the car had a 4X114.3 stud pattern for the wheels. The Preludes we have here all have 5 studs.

[Hazwan]

Clean!!!!!!

[Catalyst]

Saw that beast on preludepower... I saw the 4 lug, and the F22B and I was all confused for second. Never knew they made one in that configuration!

Really clean though! Unique too because everybody and their mom has an H22 prelude! Not many have a DOHC F22!

[2ndGenGuy]

Very sexy! We got some Preludes without an H22. We got some with H23 Non-VTEC. :-P

[A18A]

mean ( . )Y( . )

[MessyHonda]

yeah very clean car...but didnt know they still came with the F series engine and 4 lugs....do they use the same chasis as the 4th gen?

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Very cool... and like most everyone else, I had no idea they came 4 lug and such... wood trim too lol.

I like those seats a lot, nice pick up.

[BITESIZE]

Those seats are beautiful!

[86nlife2go]

Needs Ninja kit, my fav for this car, but Nice score dude!

No bodykit!!! YUCKY! I say a nice JDM lipkit ftw.

[nfs480]

I love how the speedometer goes up to 200.

[Steve_Si]

No bodykit!!! YUCKY! I say a nice JDM lipkit ftw.

Yeah I'm gonna try and track down a Type-S front lip next week. Got the week off work :D Will also try and find the sides and rear from any old 5th gen.

[Nafs Asdf]

Nice! :)

I truly dislike the way the headlights look on those tho.

[2oodoor]

I like it! looks good next to the other car too

[Lil Mike]

Very nice i love those seats.

[GraniteLXI]

Beautiful :cheers:

[2drSE-i]

Dont lie steve. You didnt get the Si because you didnt have a use for VTEC, you got it so you wouldnt betray your screen name.

:kekeke:

[snoopyloopy]

looked better with the stockies imo. but other than that, looking good and clean too. and that underhood shot was trippy for a second, lol. how much power does that engine churn out?

[AccordB20A]

[bullard123]

Wow that engine is mint! Nice upgrade to the carbon fiber. It flows well with your interior. Nice upgrade from the accord!

[forrest89sei]

Agreed the CF looks sooo much more modern, that wood grain says I'm a older mans cadillac lol
