First Gen Hondas

Another quirk it had was the reverse opening hood.

That's not a quirk.

So cool but I can't find any pics of them modded at all.

And you more than likely won't. These cars didn't have the kind of following that other Japanese cars did because of them being FWD. They had an oddball lug pattern (which makes for an expensive chore to find wheels for (took me 2 years) and Hondas were not that powerful under the hood. And with the OS Hondas, most people (about 98%) are restoring them to stock. Preludes are way last on the list of "sought after" Hondas. Later, QD.

I guess I shouldn't have called it a quirk. But it is peculiar for today's hood hinge placement standards. Lol. I can't help but think its cool and Im obviously biased towards the Lude even though the other Hondas were the same way.

So you had one? How'd you like it?
I just want to see one lowered is all. I think it would be a fun car.

thats what i was thinkin

I'm trying to say the 'first generation of the crx.'

That body style crx was my first car. It was a hunk of crap and hardly ever moved.

That's just how they were then. My Civic is that way.

Not a Prelude. I have a'79 Civic.

I'll scan a picture of one I lowered back in 1990 for a friend. Later, QD.

^^^^ That's pretty cool. I would love to see it. I admire your wisdom and experience. Haha.

I'm guessing you heated the springs? Have you ever done a write up of that?

I've never done it, myself. QD said he does it in another post about a camaro. The reason I asked if he heated the springs was bc there aren't aftermarket parts for that year lude. You gotta work with what you have, man.

So no. My car has Teins.

Yes I did, as I have every car I've owned since 1985. And no, I've never done a write up of it. Later, QD.

My first car was a first gen prelude that looked just like what is posted at the beginning of the thread. I sold it and got a 2nd gen integra. The prelude was 1 yr younger than me. Was fun to drive but nothing compared to other generations.
