    Default New 4th gen prelude owner

    I have owned my 1995 Prelude SI for a while now. I'm not into kits so I think it could go to the next level from an exterior standpoint with some clear turn signals and tint. All the maintenance items have been done (timing belt, water pump, cap, rotor, plugs, wires etc.) Also brakes and all new engery suspension bushing everywhere except mounts have been done. Those bushings make it feel tight and like new. I also have neuspeed front strut bar and lower rear bar. These really enhanced the handling. I have tokico shocks and springs, X drilled and sloted rotors, rebuilt front brakes and replaced rears altogether with pads all around. It has the H22 JDM engine and transmission (manual of course) and P72 computer with uberdata tune with a centerforce H22 clutch that feels great. Also there is the AEM cold air intake, AEM pulleys and a DC header. The exhaust is a thermal classic cat back and sounds deep, mellow and not loud. I put a 22" resonator to keep it mellow. I have Enkei 17s that I think look good wrapped in toyo proxie 4s which stick very well.

    As far as the interior. I took the leather panels and rear seats from a leather equipped VTEC and installed those and had the front seats and armrest redone in vinyl and looking at it, it all matches. '95 and '96 models had the electro guages and I think mine look great. It really "future proofs" the car making it timeless in my opinion. Reminds me of the gauges in the '95 Lexus SC400s. I also did the moon roof conversion taking the clear roof from a 5th lude and putting it in mine. It looks and works great! I also have a DEI alarm with starter kill.

    As far as ICE, I have an Alpine CD head unit with a 12 disc changer connected via AiNet for improved sound quality. In the front are Boston components. The rears are fill speakers only. I have a 5 channel Cadence Z6000 amp with an Alpine sub box that has an JL 10" woofer. All is wired with high-end monster speaker and RCA interconnects.

    Tell me honestly what you guys think.

    I think the upolstery was one of the best cosmetic upgrades that stands out the most.

    Get with me before you do. There are so many things that you will want to look out for. What are you looking to spend. Trust me, buy the best one you can as before I knew it, I had sunk $4,000 in maintenance and other items to get it tight and right. I have not even done any turbos or internal engine mods. It is ready for anything now. It is important to take care of the stock stuff first before you go and add too much.

    Again, get with me before you buy one! PM me or something!

    Thanks!!!! Tony's Upolstery Shop on Buford Hwy. I left the passenger seat and he was able to make both covers so when I came back, I just had to wait there a while for him to install it on the drivers seat.

    Dude! I agree about the header. I would never have chosen that garbage. It was there when I purchashed the car. So was the swap. I like either SMSP or RMF. Not sure which one to consider. Then there is turbo which would kill the header issue.Yea I agree about the header completely. Thanks for the complement and feel free to speak your mind about anything on the car. I need and welcome the advice!

    That is a super clean interior. Looks great, I wanted a 4th gen Lude at one point, and I must say, yours is a very fine example.
