We took the car to the Motorsports Nationals (Used to be NOPI) last Fall and won first place with the car in the Toyota, Lexus, Scion category. We were totally surprised to find out we had won, because there were some nice Lexuses and Scions. Old Skool beatin' out the new cars in style!

were u at the old school dyno day?

It's an 89? For the Old School Japanese Meets, it wouldn't qualify nor do I, personally, think of it as old school. That is my favorite year Prelude, though. Later, QD.

**ludeguy420** · 02-01-2009, 09:50 AM

yea its my favorite year also. but i want to see if i can get the clean an amber tail lights for it but not sure if they will fit?

**quickdodge®** · 02-01-2009, 09:53 AM

Clear and amber? Is that even legal? You've got to have red in the taillight section if I remember correctly. Later, QD.

**ludeguy420** · 02-02-2009, 12:18 AM

you might be right i will have to look it up to on the safe side don't want any tickets.

Whoa. I had no idea. We have them every other month around the Atlanta area. Only 1985 and older Japanese cars. Too bad as we don't have anyone around here with a 200sx. Later, QD.

**kyskater** · 02-05-2009, 09:49 AM

Woah sorry I missed this post. The dellorto carb is one of the best carbs for these motors when jetted right. And it's got an enriching choke, which means it starts in ALL weather. As for power, it's guesstimated at around 160-170 to the flywheel. It's much quicker than a stock SE and it's faster than my old stock turbocharged second gen was. A lot of this is from the Racing beat header and straight pipe into the RB muffler too. The straight pipe was drilled and tapped to run a compression fitting mated to a copper tube that provides back pressure to open the 5th and 6th ports.

**speedminded** · 02-20-2009, 04:41 AM

I decided it was pointless to build my '84 BMW as planned, lol! For the price of all the body parts I can buy a complete e30 M3 shell.

Still putting the '96 engine in the '84 though but rocking it semi-stock looking until I locate a M3 chassis. Seen two the past week for under $1,500 with clean titles!

I came to love the car slowly but surely
I love the looks I get after walking off on ricers and swapped hatches
I love the "what the hell car is that thing? is it a sentra"
