Gb-ludes BB8 PARTING

Hi guys,
I think its time to show you my daily 5th gen Prelude as you probably already know my project 4th (or forgotten as its been ages)
Purchased in 2011 with 19X XXX kilometers done..Nordic Mist Metallic 2.2 VTEC from 1997
Only thing non standard were the wheels , headlights and carbon look interior bits.

Shortly after I bought it I changed the headlights and lowered the car slightly with some cheap coil overs.
Last few months I finally changed the wheels, exterior and seats .
Done in the last few years:

-DC sports Ceramic header
-2,5”De-cat
- Apexi ws2 cat-back
-K&N replacement filter

installed last month
-D2 Racing Sports Coilover Set.
- new Brakemax front and rear discs
-17” Enkei Wasaka wheels
-OEM style frontlip and Mugen style rearr skirts.
-JDM (?) large Fog lights
-S2000 steeringwheel with airbag (and modified cruisecontrol switches )
-S2000 black leather seats
-Ultraracing front strut brace
-Carbon sparkplug cover

As you know the car is never finished and there are more things that have to be sorted.
Paint the calipers (not red) install the goodridge brakelines I have laying arround.
In the future
-weld in new rear arches
-all new engine mounts and suspention bushings
-remove the 4WS
-Maybe even a H22A7 with supercharger of something build.
For now I love the way my car looks and drives. First need to get my track lude on the road!
enjoy!

Very nice indeed, I love how you call it a 'daily', still has plenty of mods! :lol:

Another bought with best intentions for a runabout, but can't resist improvements and mods. 8)

Thanx guys.
You are right, but like nucleustylzlude said.. I wasn't planning on spending much money on this car as I already spend tens of thousands on my project lude.. And really didn't have the money for this ..

I was about to sell this prelude and was looking to buy a 2004 Accord TypeS or something similar but didn't want to spend that kind of money.. So decided it was time to give my 5th a makeover :D

Can't stop myself having a peek out of the window everytime i am near it and the seats are so comfy, everytime I get in my car I get exited again..

Only problem is the indicator switch doesn't go "OFF" after the turn and my 4WS light is on. It got to be the sensors from my steeringwheel hub but don't know how as i did pay attention and made sure it was attached the right way.. Will have to sort it sometime soon.. driving around with your indicator on looks lame :ugeek:

Took me an afternoon work but after that, they fitted the prelude like they were made for it aswell!

And yes Ed, I'll get that monster going ASAP :twisted:
