Western's Prelude.

[Western.]

I figured out that I haven't posted any pictures of my car on here yet, so here's a couple of the best of them as she stands now:

Looks nice. Stock... But nice.


I have a weakness for 4th Gen's myself. Carry on good sir.

[JDMJ]

Next to last picture is pretty cool.

[Sinfix_15]

Yea, I've had the thing for 2 years, and the only time I've been able to do stuff is during the summer because the rest of the time I'm at school. So more will be done in the future. At the same time, I hate the fact myself that it's still so stock looking.

Yup, hopefully that's one of the things that's going to happen this summer!!

Eh, do what you can, when you can. We've all been there.

This.

Nice Prelude.

[Drummerboy]

I may be buying Coilovers soon, so my current suspension will be up for sale. Skunk2 sleeves, KYB AGX's.

[Western.]

How did you like your Skunk2 sleeves and KYB AGX's and why are you selling them?

I feel you dude,i have big plans for my car but being in school means no money.

[Brandon Head]

Don't feel bad man, its taken me 6 years to get my lude to where I want it & finally boosting it in 2012 & take your time & have fun with your set up.

[Western.]

Thanks guys. I've got much in the way of plans for the lude…It'll just take a lot more time.

[Western.]

BUMP!!! Any other honest opinions of it or what I should do? I've got solid plans... But I'm always open to new ideas!

[Drummerboy]

How did you like your Skunk2 sleeves and KYB AGX's and why are you selling them?

I love them. agx's have adjustable stiffness settings, and the skunk2's can go crazy low or close to stock, so you have a huge range of heights/handling combos to play with. I'm upgrading to full coilovers just so i can dial in more. I got a fairly aggressive set of wheels that are going on the prelude soon, so I want that super fine tuning ability.

[uho]

nice lude bro

[Western.]

Thanks Drummerboy and uho. I'm looking at F&F's, and I'm also trying to find a place to get OEM side skirts(and possibly the whole kit if I can find a deal). I think I wanna go all out in terms of ride quality, improved handling, and a better stance. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty positive that's what I'm going to be doing come summer

[Western.]

Lip Kit and fogs on the way!

[TuefelSVT]

This.

[Western.]

Got some new stuff!

The wires were confusing, but with the help of a friend, the inside was wired. Here's a couple of shots during the process:




And fully functional:














The switch is brighter than those around it:

[Echonova]

Nioce.

[Western.]

Thanks! OEM Optional lip kit will be in the near future

[green91]

Ive always liked the 4g Prelude, especially white. I nearly bought one about a year ago infact. Definitely give the car a drop and maybe change the wheels.. but seems like youre on a good path.

Drop is coming this summer, Im keeping the wheels. Thanks for the comment!

[uho]

keep it up dude! def stoked to see lip kit and suspension/drop

[Western.]

I appreciate it man…I can't wait to for either of those either. What do YOU think of the wheels?

[Drummerboy]

I personally didn't like the wheels when I saw them in your pictures, but they look alot better in person. What suspension are you going with?

[Western.]

I'll probably be going with Function and Form Type 1's. Just a question…How do y'all think those wheels would look on a black prelude? I've just been milling around looking for 5spds(which, btw, there are 5x the number of auto preludes for sale than there are 5 speeds). I could, technically, put everything stock back on, except for the exhaust, and then just transfer it all on to a new one. BUT it's highly unlikely that it will actually happen…I just really want a 5spd.

[uho]

Do it! as for wheels at first i didn't like them but now i actually like them a lil but you should look into konig britelite's they look amazing on 4th n 5th gens unless you're lookin to go wider than 7in

[uho]

[Western.]

The black 5g had already been sold, sadly. If anyone knows of any unlisted 5spd ludes for sale, let me know. Otherwise I'll be sticking with this one, and the plans will go on.

[allmotor-teg]

nice shots on the last 2 pics.

[Durtie]

Nice lude. I've always loved the third generations, but this one is clean. Get that thing dropped and you'll be looking right. I've always dropped my cars first. In my opinion, it doesn't matter how much shit you do to your car, if it isn't lowered, its ugly, lol. I'm not calling your shit ugly but you know what I mean.

[CptWitwiki]

i like it, as for the lights are the retro'd or are they aftermarket ebay type lights? either way they dont look bad. and this is a pretty clean lude why not save up and swap it to five speed?

[Western.]

Thanks guys. The lights are ebay, and I was just kind of browsing around to see if I could find anything. Saving up for the swap is exactly what I'll be doing

[hondakid303]

love the rolling shots were did you take them at ?

[jonbuice5591]

nice car man. once it finished itll be one badass prelude..

[Western.]

Thanks, and the shots were taken on the Blue Ridge Parkway. And thanks Jon!

[manilikecars]

Most parts will switch over to any other bb6 prelude minus the suspension and exhaust will not swap between a base and type s prelude. The autos are not know to be strong so be easy on it and also NEVER and I mean never run anything but Honda atf in it. If you do the clutch pads will dissolve off of auto transmission disc. I have seen this first hand. If you have any questions about the car you can pm me. I have been playing on them for about 7 years. I have a white SH that is getting a fully built motor and them selling her off for lack of room. Also a black base that is a shell that I'm debating a ls swap or something.

Yeah I know all about the auto transmissions in these cars... I've had this thing for about 2 years now, and I plan on keeping it for a long time. It will eventually become a project car once I get out of undergrad/grad. Thanks for the reference, and I will probably take you up on that if I have any really specific questions that I can't figure out by searching it on google/forums.
