Ludes in Banzai & Honda Tuning

Found a couple of 4th gen ludes in some mags recently and found 5 mins to scan them in for everyone. If you click the links and then click the little zoom icon in the bottom right hand corner a couple of times you'll get the full high res copy.

First one is in Honda Tuning Magazine (US) from last month (May 2014 issue) and its a lude in Japan which is very tastefully modded - wish there was more pics:

Next up is the infamous Hasport K24 Turbo'd 4th gen built for Time Attack in the states - F'ing love this!

It's in this months Banzai just out - June 2014 Issue 152:

Great to see ludes getting in some mags

The Hasport one doesn't do much for me though tbh. Loads of impressive work done and I'm sure it's a beast, but for me once you go that far, it could be any car - there's nothing really 'lude'ish left about it. You can't even pick out the lude lines/shape really, with that paint/decal job?

I expect I'm very probably in a minority on that view though and like I say, I can appreciate the work/spec, it just doesn't 'do' it for me.

I totally get you wurly. I really like it, but it has lost something of a lude of course.
I'm a funny bugger, but I'm like that about FI setups too, I really like them and can totally appreciate the work and the final numbers, but to me it's not a lude any more, the heart of the lude is the H22.
Same for K** swaps, etc etc etc.....
All IMHO of course.

Totally. There is nothing on the car that has any relation to a BB2 any more. I like it for the build, it must have been fun to make it. I agree, at the heart of every Prelude should be an H22 but it doesnt make much sense for them to do it with an H22 if they want to promote all their K20 products.

Merlin, am I going mental or have you tweaked that last post a couple of times?!
