Got another Honda! Prelude this time

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:

nice!

fn sex

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

Clean!!!!!!

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!

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

mean ( . )Y( . )

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?

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.

Those seats are beautiful!

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

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.

Nice! :)

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

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

Very nice i love those seats.

Beautiful :cheers:

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:

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?

thats a nice cat steve. sorry on the late ass comment.
go the f22b

clean i like it can you ship it to me

Good thing you live in NZ, or I'd come thieve your rims. ;)

Nice ride!

Updates:
- Out with the woodgrain, in with the carbon fibre
- Pod filters on both Hondas
- Stereo system
- Painted exhaust heat shield

looks waaaaaaay better without that wood grain shyte

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

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