All things being equal an oem type s is going to be worth more than an oem s spec every single time.
Not sure about that one personally.

We’ll see in another 3-5 years time :!:

Haha you're going to say that because you have an S Spec. As these cars get older, people won't buy them to mod them heavily, and as the only thing better about the s spec is the fact it is more tuneable.......

This is only my opinion of course and I could be wrong.

Any car can have an LSD, ATTS is something special and unique. Again, just my opinion.

Yes it’s because I have that at the moment so it immediately catches value :mrgreen:

That might have been true if you hadn't painted it banana yellow ;)

Ah okay, good information here; thanks all!

I'm not sure I'd really push for more power tbh, maybe a little more but I don't find myself using all the power my current car has (M135i; ~320bhp) and realistically it's a boring drive. I want something older, that's more engaging and has less of the technology overriding driving pleasure! I'd be more looking towards handling and aesthetic mods, and just enjoying the car I think.

I did see that motegi the other week, looks like a decent example but you're almost into Type S money at that point.
If you have a type S with the ATTS does that mean that fitting an LSD is either a no go or a pain in the bum? I'd guess that they would benefit from a LSD given all the power through the front wheels and whatnot!

But you already bought the charger right? I wouldn't worry about the value, you already sent it to rock bottom after the paint job, the only way is up from here :mrgreen:

The ATTS is amazing, drive one with it on if you can, but yeah don't think you can add an LSD to an ATTS Prelude :?:

The Type S has a much better suspension set up than the S Spec and I believe a better braking system, active ABS :?:
