A type S

Indeed. Gasket and timing belt. Also... is it work getting the skunk2 cam gears for the end of the cam shafts? To advance/retard timing or not?

@newkid:

all in good faith and conversation ok?

most people who mod their preludes dont get to the level of mod that honda did already on the type S

Coilovers job done... there you go hi lighting yourself in bold again

Do you have the first idea of what, apart from a system called atts, which you dont understand, the changes made to the whole of the type S were?

I have always loved to hear what people 'reckon' they will spend on a car build only to find that they were living in a frikking dream world. i wish you luck, maybe you're the 1 in 1000.

twice as much mate. up untill 1800 months ago a good type s was TWICE as much as a nice motegi or SIR. thats not carpets and chairs imho.

yes thats what forums are all about

but if you have never driven a type S in anger then you have never had a blowjob from a lude.

@alex:

bugger

@lewish: a turbo build would not suit a type S to be sure. you should give one a go though, its a right laugh.

@tramroad: I get more than I want if I'm honest

Ok you spend £1500 on a normal Lude to get the same power as the S. Spend the same on the S and get more. Thats what im doing.

Im all for mechanical stuff but ATTS touched me. It touched me right.

You need to drive one 1st to have an opinion.

As for power.

You can do a FULL 300whp NA build on the S and you will be fine.
But start to throw high torque figures over 250lbft and the ATTS clutches start to slip but IMO anyone can go fast on UK roads. Its all about the handling.

ATTS reliability on my car???

Well it was sat off road for 3 years, then an engine swap and now and its throwing codes because of the O2 sensor

and a VSS. Common on ALL preludes.
Now on the whole preperation H and ATTS feels good and is reliable. Just as reliable as 4ws when looked after.

Of course im not saying a Type S is the ultimate Prelude but fook it.

IT ABSOLUTELY IS!

Lol I just wrote a big speech and then "selected all and deleted it".

Can't be bothered...

I'm off to chase cats instead of discussing about Type-S. I know which I would choose over any other prelude and I've driven Motegi, standard 4WS vti and 2WS Sir,

ok off the top of my head, they redesigned the front hubs and added a new ball joint making the front radius rods independent, this also included a different design of front crossmember to house the enormous bushes at the front.
The ARB setup is different and it has double balljoint droplinks.
They welded reinforcement plates over flexible parts to counter this and maintain stability eg rear upper wishbones)
Active ABS gives a much more subtle effect and will brake each wheel independent of every other depending on road conditions.
Ratty will have the other bits as i cant remember for the life of me. but to think the type S suspension upgrades were based on a set of uprated shocks would not be a correct opinion.

this is on top of the trick atts system which utilises all this to make the lude stick like glue. watch a couple of type S youtube vids of them getting spanked and you will see the control available at much higher speeds than normally thought to be available in a lude.

for sure its horses for courses but having driven near all the ludes available in the range the type s has consistantly driven harder and gone round corners better than all the others. i have not driven a lude with a 'proper' lsd in it so i cant comment on that one. after all the lude was not built as a straight line dragcar and to try and make it so is to miss its point all together.

Agreed, Turbos and type S is a no no though. too much hassle.

I admire your pluck there buddy. Are you not forgetting all the ancillary items you will consume? All the fuel to go pick up parts or postage to send incorrect ones back. The new tools you might need buy or replace if you are doing it yourself, or the tea breaks you pay for if not. The unforseen main bearing oil seal that needs replacing and the reconditioned gearbox or oil pump once your current one goes pop with all this new found power (ask a1ex again

) Not to add in any 'snafu' budget is a bit dangerous..imho. to not be prepared for the unexpected makes you vulnerable to a mistakes and corner cutting. You might be ABLE to build it for that but the cheapest price has never been a good place to start in reliable autoenjoyment.

imho again

LLL, I was hoping to forget the burned out oil pump and a ruined gearbox form the extra power!

If (hopefully when) I go down the s route, the box will last better too being as it was designed for 220bhp in the first place rather than 185bhp.

newkid, the above is certainly something to be aware of. I drive my car fast, but I have some mechanical sympathy and never thrash it cold etc etc.

My oil pump lasted 500 miles after the build, this may or may not have been down to the build. Thankfully the pressure dropped to low in the best place possible, sat on the drive first thing in the morning.

The gearbox lasted 10k after the build, my motor puts more torque down at 3500rpm than most ludes at 6500rpm. And that's almost definitely what killed 1st, 2nd & 3rd because it was way too much fun!
