no, i didnt do that. I just sprayed the stuff on. Layer by layer.
I'm not sure what clearcoat to use, because ive used some clear coats in the past, and they havent made it look ANY better. In fact, they've made it worse sometimes.....![]()

The Prelude back then was high class meaning it got ranked Car and Drivers Best Handling and then the price. 30k.
The thing is if you know JDM things about Prelude they were high class cuz they had navigation system, carbon fiber or wood trim, CD Player with 6 Disc Changer, and Leather/Suede Seats. Um Cavalier's????
If mine were a manual Id spank the @$@$@$@$ out of a Cavalier too bad it's auto.
his is a sunfire.. mine is a cavalier.. and no you wouldntOriginally Posted by Crazy Asian

It wasn't high class, it was just a sports coupe, just like the Mitsubishi FTO, Mazda MX6 mysterie, and the 2 door Camry. All of the mentioned cars had basicly the same features available. Some of them had the auto climate control and power seats driver and passenger side. All had leather. But you're comparing apples to oranges. The cavalier/sunfire isn't even in the same price class as the prelude, it was marketed just as an economy car. They both make different levels of power. The Cavalier/sunfire wasn't that short on power considering they made at peak 150 hp and weighed in at 2400 lbs. Preludes on the other hand weigh way more than that. So if you're gonna compare cars, at least compare ones that were at least in the same class or near it.Originally Posted by Crazy Asian
K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.
True... camry doesnt fit in with group. More like a Probe. Camry wasnt even consider a sports coupe. Its was a luxury coupe.
but mind you also I said this. I started off with some high class...especially since I was 16 that's not bad for getting a 2001 Honda Prelude. Especially back then since this was high for a Honda.

YOU DRIVE A HONDA, YOUR ORDINARYThe prelude was an overpriced wanna be sports car. The Integra was light years ahead of it and thus outsold the prelude. When the lude came out, it was the same time as the CIvic SI and the S2000. BOth those cars outgunned the prelude.
THe SI was affordable and what everyone wanted, a VTEC powered DOHC civic. The S2000 was only 6000$ more than a prelude was at that time.
THe prelude was a cool car, and id still like to own one as a commuter car, but to call it high class, sorry, that wasnt it. The S2000 and the GSR was a much better high class car.
To the OP, everyones just picking on you cause you have a sunfire. Its like driving a miata lol.
Theres not alot available to make a sunfire FAST from what i have seen, but to each their own.
Good luck with what you do, and dont fight the numbers. People own hondas and 240s for a reason, cheap and easy to make power![]()

YOU KNOW WHAT. I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO SAY THIS. SOME OF YA'LL ARE MEAN. THIS KID HAS DONE NOTHING BUT USE THIS FORUM FOR WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE USED FOR. HE HAS BEEN COOL, COURTEOUS AND GRACIOUS. HE HASN'T TALKED **** TO ANYONE AND HE HASN'T RETALIATED AGAINST THE JERKS WHO HAVE BEEN MEAN TO HIM. Y'ALL NEED TO GET THE FREAK OFF YOUR HIGH HORSES AND GIVE THIS KID A BREAK. SERIOUSLY. HE IS WORKING WITH WHAT HE HAS, HAVING A GOOD TIME AND HAPPY WITH IT. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO HATE ON HIS DEAL? GIVE ME A BREAK.
PROPS TO THE PEEPS WHO HAVE BEEN COOL TO THIS KID.
thers plenty to make them fast, most just dont know. There is tons and tons of aftermarket for the j-body, especially the ecotec motor. Its not cheap to make power out of a honda, neither is it a 240... if anything its 3x more expensive, due to the herds of people wanting to do the same. I have been messin with not so popular vehicles for the longest, and its been proven, time and time... u damned if ur differnt and ur damned if ur the same...Originally Posted by Mr. KiDD
uh oh tracy go kaboom.
dont take anything i say srsly. its the interwebs.
oh snap! took off your seats for weight reduction!! DAYUMMMMMM!!!!! its like a fuking RACECAR!!!!!!!!
Well Im not bashing. Damn wtf. LOL. I just said basically his car if he likes it that's cool with me BUT IM NOT A FAN OF CAVALIERS OR FREKAING SUNFIRES!!!!!!!!! If I was bashing I would say his car is ugly and needs to be dropped to hell.
Bolt on turbo kits WITH engine management for $4000. Motors can make 300+whp on stock engines whether its a SR or a Honda motor.Originally Posted by JITB
Show me a ECOTEC motor that can do that OUT THE DOOR
I mean even NA wise, theres just more options with the hondas vs the ecotec. a GSR can make 190whp with $1500 in mods. They also have great gearing for a factory trans.
How good is the gearing on the ecotec? how many make 190whp with $1500 inmods?
The ecotec is a cool motor, and they are stout, they are kicking ass all over drag racing circuits, but for the AVERAGE enthusiast there is a reason the honda/nissan market is HUGE. CHEAP and EASY.
Call all the shops in GA an find one that can sell an EMS for $180 (Crome Pro).
