This car has almost been through everything so here is the run down about it.

When I turned 15 I got this car from my Sister who got it from my aunt. It had been sitting outside for 2 years wasn't driven because it had a bad water pump (later I found out it wasn't)

Car was all stock
http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m73/JarHead2821/jarcar.jpg

It was relativity clean, but I soon discovered some rust...
So I did some mods the normal cat-back exhaust, intake, relocated battery to the trunk and put a MSD coil on it.

Oh and some gay fogs (ricer stage)
http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m73/JarHead2821/lights.jpg

Over the years I had seen other prelude owners do some autocrossing, and I was very intrigued. An old friend from preschool had been doing it so I decided to try it.

Alignment was off, car was still an auto, but I still had a blast. :rofl:

So I went a little more ricer and painted my wipers red :Sylee: I have no idea what I was thinking. But I picked up a crazy cheap/legit suspension setup
- Koni sway bars Front and Rear
- KYB Gr-2's up from
- Koni reds for the rear
- Intrax lowering springs
- SS brake lines
- Some hawk HP pads

Moar Racing!

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m73/JarHead2821/IMG_5435.jpg

For that event I got first with an auto :rofl: But the best thing was those VW rims had some falken 512's on them I picked up at u pull it. They had nasty flat spots on the tires, it was so bad they couldn't be balanced out :rofl: I wish I still had a picture of them.

So I did some more racing I didn't change much on the car, used the same shitty tires though.

Oh and it was still an auto, didn't place well at this event in Hastings, but I was proud I didn't get any DNF's on such a large course.

Next event got a first place

---- Finally swapped it to a manual, I had tons of issues with parts took me 3 months to get done, but it got done.
Mounted some 3rd gen prelude seats
http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m73/JarHead2821/100_0051.jpg

Made a ghetto rear sway bar mount

Rear sway bar was a tight fit, rubbed on the trunk a bit
http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m73/JarHead2821/100_0069.jpg

And the interior at the time
http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m73/JarHead2821/100_0070.jpg

Made a 92-95 civic cold air intake fit
http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m73/JarHead2821/100_0074.jpg

Some stupid ass huge plug wires
http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m73/JarHead2821/100_0078.jpg

So I did some more racing, and decided the rear springs were way to soft

Can I borrow your wheels and tyres! lol!
what make are those?
Got a set of TSW Imola's cheap off ebay and hopefully some Dunlop SP Sport DO1J(S) semi slick road legal tyres fronts bit worn but will use on the rear should do the job and I have some tyre additive as well! :0)
To be honest though once i get a bit of heat into my Vredestien sportrac 3's they actually grip damn well for a full on wet weather tyre! Dread to imagine what it will be like with these Dunlops on!

Well small update, had problems with the alternator belt after I blew a brake line.... hahahha. And the car is running pig rich I think it is the check engine light for the EGR so I will be adding a resistor in tonight to see if the problem is fixed.

Rich I don't think the B20 ecu is gonna work lol, Gio I am working on the conversion as we speak but I'm running into some issues with time and other projects to get it done now, I'll most likely have it done before next spring.

Im not sure what im gonna do yet Gio. I might scrap it and put the parts on my red 86 prelude

rjudgey
05-07-2012, 02:41 AM
That's a shame wasn't that the A20 with like 140bhp from a pretty much stock block with a couple of bolt on's?
Probably ignition advance was too much just enough to knock out rod bearing or too much autox and has starved oil possibly. The only time I ever had rod bearing's fail was from ignition advanced too much these engines love less ignition not more mine runs at 11 degress BTC at idles with vac advance off anymore than that starts to loose power with 95 ron gas.

rustlude87
05-09-2012, 05:11 AM
Rich that's a huge compliment coming from you, I am leaning towards rebuilding the motor with some A20a1 pistons and a oil pan baffle

rustlude87
06-02-2012, 10:16 AM
Ok guys I don't want to do this but the rustlude's chassis is beyond repair for me to take on at the moment, I'm going to strip it down to the shell and start on my new prelude project. And guys don't worry it is still a 2nd gen.

But the biggest problem I have with letting the car go, is I am emotionally attached to it. Like I've been through EVERYTHING with that car for that past 8 years. Its crazy to say I've owned that car this long. From whooping integra type r's at track days to driving it in the snow on track tires lol. I fucking love this car, it gonna be like loosing a close friend, the car was always there through the good and bad times, always started and took me on ride with memories I don't want to go.

Its nuts to say all of this, I've never so attached to something before, I acheived my goal with the car, when I was 15 I wanted a rusty car that went fast, and ever since the someone told me to just sell it and get an integra or civic, I was on a mission to prove everyone wrong.

So my fellow classic prelude members, remember the rustlude and what it has done for the community.

Did you ever do anything with this? A few weeks ago I picked up a CG of my own. Well, everything but the bell housing. It was too much trouble to get off the engine at the JY and I wouldn't use it anyway.
