So to give you a rundown

1998 Honda Prelude
2.2 DOHC VTEC VTI (185bhp)
4 wheel steer (super awkward at the start)
Some cheap ebay "burnt tip" aftermarket backbox
16inch alloys, think they're standards for the vti?
Half bucket seats with the weird fuzzy material
Front splitter and motegi skirts

Pretty much stock atm and ive only done a few bits, reason i want to keep it is cause ive seen 3 in my life in person.
Super rare car over in NI, ive actually seen more r34 and r35 gtr skylines... more merc amg's and m3s and all sorts

Everyone loves an underdog...right?
Next update later tonight if i can get the time


And also any tips or that sort is more than welcome, end of the day everyone has their own opinion. Im not a fan of halfrauds body kits/rims though... :lol: :lol:

Nice 8-)

Persevere with the 4WS (Although it sounds like you've got there :D ). Honda saw the future. And it's awesome.

Some of you may notice the "HS" sticker on the fuel cap and the full name "Hood Status" on the windscreen, no im not a wannabe gangster haha :lol:
Few of my car friends started a group or whatever the term is for a collection of car people...a rally? lol
Anyways, they sell some merchandise and stuff and i liked the designs so got a few stickers on
