Petee's Lude 4th Gen H23A
Posted: Thu Jun 26, 2014 7:42 pm
So this is my first Prelude. Hoping to have this a long old while as it's something a bit special.
Honda Prelude 4th Gen (the best looking in my opinion)
H23 engine (yes that's right a non Vtec Honda!!) also this is the rarer engine, and has the benefit of not being raced around by all the 'Vtec yo' boy racers
The eagle eyed viewers may recognise this is the UKDM hates you car. Which is where I got it from. Travelled up to Southport to get this. It was what I would consider a steal...
The car is in great condition for 20 years of age. And it has a very nice base of mods on already.
Sitting on BC Racing adjustable coilovers.
17" Works Emotion CR Kai alloys in gunmetal gray
De-cat exhaust system (though the 4" dustbin is a bit big for my liking, though I do get a very nice rasp when accelerating)
DC Sports induction kit
Modified sunroof to the 5th gen glass version
Everything else is pretty much as standard. Which makes it a bit different to a lot of other modified Preludes I've seen. I've been torn with where to go with this car but a plan is forming in my head. I'm aiming to keep it standard regards to styling. No big front bumpers or rear wings etc. I want to look at tucking the engine bay. The engine bay is in great condition considering the age and with some love could be a real show stopper I think.
Come the weekend I will give it a good clean (weather permitting) and get some good photos. For now enjoy some coupe porn...
Oh and I forgot to mention the list of free stuff I got.....
So:
Original OEM wheels with new Bridgestone tyres on (and I mean NEW!)
Original exhaust system
Tien lowering springs
Original shocks and springs
Roof rack mounts (rare for this care apparently)
Spare dash speakers
Original sunroof
Amp - May need some help for installing this/seeing if it's any good
Original cassette unit (for 90s retro awesomeness)
Some UKDM goodies....
Anyway let me know what you think.
Couple of bits to get on with:
Good detail to get the body nice and sparklingly clean
Remove the stickers on the bumpers as I'm not a fan
Fix driver side door as the check strap is causing a clunking sound
Fit strut brace
