Where are all the preludes?
So, I am curious. I don't seem to see that many preludes on here or at all, tuned or even stock. Where they built in small numbers? Do people not like them? Then why? I think they look good especially the 5th gens and Ive seen some clean gen4s. Could it be the powerplant? I hear people wanting the prelude motor for swaps right? <<my info isnt straight about that. Is it the handling? The 5th gen SH was rated the best handling FWD car.
What's the deal

heres a pic of my old 2000 Prelude that I sold in 2005. At the time I sold it, the car had a jdm SiR S-Spec swap, A'PEXi N1 catback, exedy clutch/flywheel, other random bolt-ons, tein springs, seibon c/f hood, mugen aero kit, type S interior, and a few other things i cant think of.
The reason that you dont see more is because parts are a little more expensive than parts for a civic/teg. The engines are strong, but the cars are heavy compared again to a civic/teg. Thats why people take the engines from these cars and put them in something smaller, a concept that has been around since cars were first built.

^^ pretty car and thanks for the info. I do want one, if its just part price I could live with that. Heavier, by how much?

i drive a prelude, they handle great, and i agree i ahvent seen very many preludes around here
cuz all the ricers crash them.
hard to see a CLEAN one. i've seen a couple around doraville/buford/gwinnet and about 2 outta the handful i've seen aren't fart-can induced or mexicanized.
i dont cruise around those areas.. im down in gwinett(lilburn) once amonth and i dont see any ludes lol, but whenever i see a lude its most likely stock.. and some lady driving it...
ill bring mine to the V next week im bringing another buddy with a 5th gen..so there will be alittle more ludes then usual.. :P p.s. (ive never been to the V)
im in gwinnett all the time and there arent many CLEAN ludes around. i see a few once in a blue moon but there's alot of riced out 4th gen in gwinnett.

i have 2 ludes, got several friends here with them
I can vouch for that. I am one of his friends that has one as well. And I too have many friends that have a Lude. Most of them are his friends as well, as he is more than likely thinking of the same ones I am.
If you want to meet more, there is the Annual Prelude BBQ comming up in March. Look in the events section for the Prelude Accord BBQ for info.
Mine is in the Sig.
Later !!!
Awesome, at the V I'll find you prelude guys! Ill start saving for one

IA doesn't benefit Preludes much. I used to be on here all the time when I had my Civic. Most prelude owners I believe would turn to preludepower or something for their resources.
I want yours
All the preludes will be at the prelude/accord BBQ in march
i have one... but only one
My Prelude Is Bumpin
I have one.... and a half....
pics x1.5

The half is a SIR S motor in a hatch. I won't disclose pictures of that...
ALL of them? wowzers...thats a big bbq
The Carbon Fibered R6
There might be a couple V6 mustangs there too. who knows?
Is that restricted to prelude/Accord owners? What about prospectives??? lol I would be interested to talk 'lude' haha, just have to park my ranger out of site and walk.
