Thanks for all the nice comments guys!
It's a 2 litre, sadly it's the non vtec F series engine, however since I'm only in my second year of driving I think a h22 would have been pushing it lol!
As for plans, at the moment I'm waiting for payday as I'vebeen skint for the last 5 weeks since buying this, don't regret it one bit though haha! Then treating myself to a nice cat back, after that I'll drop it 30/40mm as a couple have said ;)
I've been looking at some of the lip options out there and I'm liking the look of the accord lips on these so I'm thinking that's the way I'm gonna go :) other than that there's a few little rust patches I wanna get sorted!
I'm just happy to have something a bit different!

I'm really intrigued to find out how well an F22 lude goes - never been in one.

I had a 2.0 as my first prelude. Spent a lot of time and money on it. Very capable engine.

I've just been paid and I'm currently in two minds about whether to start with a nice cat back or to get some springs :lol: God life is hard!

Same. Lower it first. It'll handle much better provided you go for a decent brand spring. 40mm is a good drop. Probably the lowest you can go on OEM dampeners.

@Wurlycorner This guy doesn't have the F22 engine, but they do pull well. Pretty much keep up with an H22 until Vtec kicks in.

And welcome to the club buddy :)
