My name is danny
I'm from west Yorkshire
I've been into honda civics for 9 yrs
I like most hondas and I've recently broke my civic to buy a 4th generation prelude, I'll be buying it in a couple of weeks

So excited, it's a 4th generation prelude (bb4)

Joined up as I don't know much about preludes other than its an awesome lookin car with a awesome motor,
Thanks for reading

Welcome.
You are spot on with that assessment of a 4g :D (although there is more to them as well ;) )

Sorted which exact car you're buying then?

Welcome along pal. Nice looking motor as well 8-)
Personally my favourite colour... But I am biased. :lol:

You'll going to love it to bits. I've not looked back since I went from my Civic to the Prelude.

Nice looking lude.

:think: that isn't Crunchy's last 4g (with a wheel swap) is it?

EDIT:
Yep, I'm almost positive it must be;

It was a really really good looking lude.

Have you bought it yet?
If not, one word of caution to check very carefully on this one - check the clearance between the front of the rear wheel and the arch. There was a problem where the drivers side rear wheel was for some reason further forward than the passenger side one.
For whatever reason it didn't apparently seem to affect how it drove, but when you looked at it, something didn't look quite right.

Crunchy couldn't get to the bottom of what it was, before he sold it.

@thebusofwoe may be able to help with more info on it, because he looked at the car to try and work out what was wrong.
