My 1998 5th gen

I had the same issue with my windows being pretty slow to raise and lower a couple of years ago. I stripped the doors, taking out the glass, motors and window runners and cleaning them all up. I then re-greased the springs, pivots and rollers with GT85/WD40 and silicon grease and after cleaning the rubber window run channels I greased them with Shin Etsu (you could also use white lithium grease, although not quite as good).

Windows ran a lot quicker and smoother after doing this. Just make sure its all lined up correctly according to the manuals and nothing is obstructing the rollers and mechanisms. Also make sure the bolts connecting the glass channel to the runners are tight; the first time I did this one popped out after a few months and the window got jammed inside the door when it was raining with a 70 mile drive back to my garage...

bit of a thread revival but... i met up with matt today. well i say i met up with matt,,,,, i already knew him.

he is our companies photographer.

such a small world. known him for years too.

At work today, i kept getting people coming up to me and 1 text saying "here Sam. there is a prelude the same as your in the visitors bay. so i had to check it out from the reception.

its mad. how you know the same person in 2 different guises without linking the 2. what a great community we have here.

also @mattbigwood the offer still stands. i can help with the door handle and the window. also i have a jdm front lip available just needs painting. brian singer, a guy at Knorr-Bremse who painted my mugen spoiler has it at the moment. send me the paint code and ill get it painted cheap if you want it.

Gave the Lude a good wash and polish for the first time in ages and took a couple of photos.

ditch the wheels and get some nice motegi alloys

there are other alloy wheels available to fit the Honda prelude

LOL, I spent ages trying to sell the Rota Slipstreams that came on the car and was really pleased when I managed to get an original set of Honda alloys! Have to admit the Motegi alloys look better though....

@mattbigwood i know of a set of 17" accord type r alloys with tyres available. they should be cheap. just going to find out the condition and tyre tread depth. they are in black at the moment but, you know where i work and we have a good shot blaster.

Cheers Sam, but I'll stick with the wheels I've got at the moment as they have an almost new set of Avon tyres, and the next thing on the list of purchases is a double DIN CD player.
