I put in a paragraph regarding JDM ludes. Can you fact check me?
Note the antique heating controls, honestly though, it's a breeze to operate. It should be pointed out that JDM Preludes had digital climate control.
JDM Envy.
On the subject of JDM it should also be pointed out that, like other Japanese cars, the JDM version meant more toys, with the TypeS gaining, amongst other things, 20BHP over the Motegi, revised suspension and ABS, plus cutting edge cornering tech with the acronym ATTS, (Active Torque Transfer System). The TypeS deserves far more recognition and is a rare find.

@JAE, 2017 - A beautiful JDM TypeS - Prelude Royalty.
As a Prelude nut I slightly regret never taking the plunge and importing a 217BHP TypeS Prelude. That would be my favourite Prelude.
There are differences across the markets, multiple variants of the Prelude, but, they are all made in Japan.
Most are minor differences in spec or cosmetic trim, e.g. heated door mirror on a UKDM, electric folding door mirror on JDM. There are additional differences in the variant of the H22 engine used and gearbox, e.g. the JDM Type SiR S Spec had an LSD gearbox, something the UK market never saw.
Did the Type SiR S Spec come with the 217BHP A7? as well, but did not have 4WS?
Thanks

Found this little resource as well. I know there is an info page on the site somewhere with all the various codes, figures, etc.
That site lists the UK A8 as 0-60 - 6.5 with a 142mph top.
