Well here's my dads car:

It's a Honda Prelude 2.0i 16V from '92. I really love this car, whe had many cars but this is definetly one of the best. it is a little bit tuned: it has a K&N Airfilter, Sebring Exhaust, new rims and its lowered. The sound really is impressif. it's definetly not a car that makes about 200 decibels when it's just standing still like ricer's. its a quite sound and if you gife full trottle you should hear it. At 3000 - 4000 RPM's in second it sound like a 360 Modena. When i'll ever get a camera i'll surrently tape it

The car self is very low compared to other regular cars, only 122 cm.

Top Speed: +/- 228 km/u
0-100 km/h: 7.8 seconds
Cylinders: 4
CC: 1997
Valves: 16
Max. Power: 147 BHP @ 6.250 RPM
Max. torque: around 200 Nm @ i don't know how much.

So, tell me, what do you think of my dad's car ??? i'm curious...

Nice car! I've always had a soft spot for the fourth gen prelude, its one of the nicer of the series.
I believe our cars share the a similar powerplant (B series), though you've got .2 of a liter on me. I don't think the H series was introduced in the prelude 'till '94.

cleanest prelude ive ever seen. Nice job in not ricing it out. now just drop a turbo in.

A very nice car indeed but is it THE family car? I mean, the rear seats are not really THAT big and I suppose you are at least 3 persons in the faimily..

yes i know, my dad and i where thinking also about the same thing. only a turbo costs much. and the car must also be better compression resisted then. maybe later whe could do it.

Have you done any bolt on mods? Like a simple intake, header, and catback exhaust? 4th gens are surprisingly fast. If not turbo you should consider an h22 motor swap. That motor in the 4th gen can do a 14 second bracket 1/4 mile with a good driver. You should look into it.

eh. I dont believe in turbo charging hondas. I like hondas to be true to N/A. I think N/a is the best way to go anyways. Honda's arent meant to be turboed. :roll:

oldsnail · 07-21-2004, 07:26 PM

yea they were, There is a civic hatch with a H22 engine in it, turbocharged it womps on WRXs. Thats going from like 17 seconds to 13/14. Also there is a S2000 around here turbocharged, it puts down 350-400 horses. There is also a supercharged S2K around here. That mother hauls ass.

I've seen a person in Holland wich Prelude goes 0-1/4 mile in only 12 seconds. but it was losing compression. its for sale for €3500...

Hi MopsDrops, We had exactly the same Prelude but then in Dark Green with about the same wheels (design). It was a very fast car indeed. 7.8 sec. is very fast :shock:. We had to sell it because I couldn't get in the back anymore...that's why we had to buy an Audi A4 Avant TDI
