My mom used to have the 1989 acord she said to me it handled very good and she misses it which was the pop up head light
Nobody cared because of the Acura Integra. The Integra was a great car. The 91 Integra was so awesome and that is just the LS. I have never even been in a GSR. But the LS was so good. Those long gears really made you feel how good that B18 was at high RPMs.
I owned two 4th gen's... still my favorite Honda of all time. The digital dash is unique and the car is balanced really well. The H-series motors always had a more throaty sound than the B or K series... I just likem.
The Z31 Nissan 300ZX had a similar digital dash, specially in the revmeter.
@@p.informatico1320 Had my hands on one of those a few years back. Would have bought it but it had an issue with first gear and the guy wouldn't come down on the price. It was in great shape too for a 27 year old vehicle.
I liked the wrap-around dashboard that stretched all the way from the driver's window to the passenger's window.
The first car I ever owned was a 4th Gen Prelude. I absolutely loved that car. My second was the Mitsubishi FTO which I somehow loved even more. I'd buy them both again in a heartbeat.
@@HellHunter00 My fourth gen Prelude was also my first new car, back in the winter of 1995. I felt such an increase of status when I parked that beauty at my parent’s driveway. My coworkers at the Florida Department of Children and Families loved that car when I parked it in that parking lot in 1997. Paid it off in late 2000. I had that car during every IT job I had, during the late 90’s/early 2000s IT boom.
One of my favourite cars. Two of my buddies had one. Handled like crazy, solid feeling controls, and interior, sleek, flat undercarriage. The twin carb engine performed, and sounded awesome. His ‘86 was as tough as nails, and he bought it third hand. The guy he bought it from over 20 years ago, says it was his favourite car to this day.
Finally some recognition for the prelude! The Honda prelude is severely underrated!
Incredibly underrated
say that when you literally have options for aftermarket, i own a 96 accord wagon, its hard to find parts, hell i might have to use prelude parts, and NSX calipers just to have a entry-level brake upgrade
Real honda guys don't find it underrated. The h22 is call the "God motor" for a reason. They are really hard to find though
@@kennethlee2024 Guess I'm a real Honda guy then.
How can you "underrate" -130hp?lmao...
The 4WS is pretty cool tho..
Preledues have always handled like shit compared a base model civic,evan that one..front end loves to slide,hard to keep traction on the front wheels,EVER PRELUDE MODEL.
I bought a 4th gen prelude second hand back in the days and this car was so reliable. Even brakes seems impossible to wear-out
Mine used to get warped rotors pretty quick, likely due to the commute I had. It had some high speed highway, then stop and go highway and then a congested long uphill that you had to use your brakes on so you didn't roll back. So basically you had to stand on your brakes after getting them good and hot.
good video. My 2nd car was a 1981 prelude that i bought in 1988. I slammed it to the ground by cutting the springs on it. It became nicknamed the bouncer, but it looked cool that low. This was the time of Mini Truckin, so there were very few lowered import cars back then.
I've owned 2 Preludes. a 1995 SE, and still own a 1994 Si. LOVE these cars. I've owned one for around 14yrs of my 39 on earth lol. They were always the testbed for Honda. Always the one to get the cool part first. So, so wish they'd bring them back. I've even written Honda myself. But, with the way things are going, and the recent comeback of the "integra". I'm not sure how well they'd come back. the VTEC days are long gone unfortunately, turbos, hybrids, electric, etc. are the wave now. There's just something about the old mechanical Hondas, with the Prelude having the "big block" of all of them
I can definitely agree. I had a 1994 Prelude in the 4WS model, which I then swapped the engine for the more powerful JDM spec VTEC @ 200HP. The car was fast and cornered like it was on rails!
Honda is the best. And I know, being the best is not easy.
I had a green 95 prelude SE and I am so nostagic when i think of that car. Beautiful in so many ways. I got so many looks and offers to buy it from me. Such a beauty to behold. from its sleek exterior to its spaceship wraparound dash on the inside. What a gem.
Great video. Interesting bit of trivia - during the filming of Star Trek: The Next Generation, both Patrick Stewart and Wil Wheaton owned Preludes. Wil's was the slightly better AWS version.
There's an episode of "Candid Camera" with Kirk Cameron where he has a 3rd Gen.
That is some seriously obscure trivia; where did you find this knowledge nugget?
Great video sir! I still miss my 89 Prelude Si from highschool. Man it was a head turner. It was love at first sight for me and could corner like no ones business. Oh the memories.
In the year 2000 I was 18, worked construction and financed a 1994 Prelude. Unfortunately I didn’t know a manual transmission was a lot better but the thing did carve the mountains in Sonoma very well.
5th gen owner since 2K...And I agree with the prelude being the Black sheep of the honda family... I still have mine and love it till the day I die...
I’ve owned 2 5th gen preludes now, a type s and type sh. I personally think these cars are performance bargains if you can scoop up a clean one for around 5k. Before the k series became the k series the h22 was the most coveted Honda swap you could do since it was the “big block” motor. Parts are cheap although a little more scarce then your average civic or Miata but if you look in the right places they’re certainly there.
Yeah.. the H22’s performance was quite uncommon back when the 5th gen Prelude was new. I had a 97 GSX Eclipse back in the day, and when you compare factory tuned performance of those two cars, the 4G motor was a turbocharged 2 liter boasting 210 hp and could not pull away from a Prelude. Some days the Eclipse ran better than others (temperamental turbo).. the Prelude’s H22 was more consistent needless to say. I’ve seen that engine swapped into 4th gen Accords and it literally turned the car into a sleeper. Consistent low 8 second passes in the 8th mile. Pretty impressive.
A prelude clean for 5k? Haha where
In 1998 I had a 2nd gen SI, red, with white racing stripe, 16 inch wheels, 40 series tires, lowered, with pace setter exhaust. Miss that car.
I had an ‘82 (1st gen) and an ‘83 (2nd gen) Prelude. Loved them both for different reasons. Thank you for this video.
3:33 Correction, double wishbone suspension is on hardly any new cars. Even honda went back to economy strut suspension. That is a HUGE difference in handling.
7:30 VTEC is for getting a larger powerband, aka, more power down low, not peak power. Peak hp is not affected that much, but does get a bit better than economy tuning alone allows.
Too bad they killed the integra after 2001. The new one is a civic with a body kit, and lacks even the double wishbone suspension that made the OG special. Honda has become a joke.
i mean have you seen mitsubishi..
double wishbone is bask on most honda and acura products..
The old Vtec kicked in around 6k RPM. The current one is 3 stage optimized for midband performance. My friends '96 Type R Vtec kicks at high RPMs, but once he had 2000 Civic build specifically for track - Type R power plant with supercharger. It was as fast as 911. I knew physics Ph.D, specializing in acoustic and DSP. He still owns turbocharger Type R build for track. And then, people also used Prelude engines in Civics or various head swaps to get more juice.
@@aoescool I don't know what that means
@@dj33036 You're not the 'lone ranger' there, my friend...how does the word "bask" possibly apply to double-wishbone suspension?!
i own a 97’ 5th gen manual prelude i bought in 2017 Ontario /L.A . i constantly get asked if i “sell it” & i always say NO ! i saved up $1 by $1 in high school just to get the car i wanted . By this , i had observed many of honda cars that most typical people get like the EG/EK ( which i call mini egors ) , Civics , RSX’s , Del Sol’s , integras , bla bla . i wanted something different & unique ! also to mention preludes aren’t even seen often so when im out in the street i always get necks broken & its usually older heads telling me they like my car & saying they wish they got it when they were younger. Preludes are a gem so i told myself im never letting my baby go no matter if im old . ill be old & still have the prelude you wanted 😂 ahh such a great car despite its oil burning issue
@9:31 i just caught on to that black ops multiplayer soundtrack . best game in 2010
I love the prelude. I remember back in 1995 my neighbor had a brand new one and he put an exhaust on it and I loved it. I might look for one….
My friends brothers prelude lasted forever. We were kids and we loved it. Great car.
Totally agree! Still got my 3rd gen. '94 Prelude VTEC and it gets compliments. Honda _should_ make another beauty like it, not the frumpy 4 doors it now seems to prefer.
Exactly,Indeed!
You mean 4th Gen
My dad used to own the 4th Gen Prelude. The car that made my Dad start his love for Honda. Sadly he had to let it go because our family was growing and one of my siblings had to sit in the middle (4th gen is literally a 4-seater, the middle back seat is a center console for who-knows-what). He bought a Hyundai soon after before switching back to a Honda Stream. Now he also owns a CRV, mom has HRV and Jazz/Fit and I own the latest Civic.
“Now we’re cooking “ “gave it disc breaks son” “that was like Tesla tech for Honda” hahahha
I had a 97 prelude. Miss that little car, 200 V Tech HP was a lot in a small car like that! Once that V-Tech kicked in, Wow, you were off to the races! Miss that car!
I wanted one of those back in the day, but I just could not afford it. What a wonderful car. Honda is a great brand. We have a Tesla Model 3, but we still have a 1997 Honda Accord 200k plus miles and no rattles or squeaks, 2009 Honda Crv, 175k miles and a 2019 Honda Ridgeline.
my 98 prelude needs some work to be perfect but it never fails to put a smile on my face when VTEC kicks in
bought my 5th gen prelude about a year ago as my first car and i can say that it is amazing, it's a car worth buying, driving and caring for, if you are thinking of buying one go for it!
Yes please make a new prelude. I loved my old 1989 prelude si. The 4wheel steering was a dream in parking lots. Great video 🤙🤙
a girl i had a major crush on in high school had a 4th gen prelude. i though it was so dope. she in turn was also dating a guy with an ep3 si. ive always liked preludes cause you dont see em so often anymore. its literally just civics or rsx or some other variant. a del sol video would be cool though! thats another you dont really see much anymore.
Used to do runs against these in the early 2000's in my 05 tiburon. They were very good looking cars and fun to line up against since my modest 190whp stacked up pretty even against better built ones. Now that Im older with the funds to really build one they are hard to find in good condition without frame rust issues.
I was always a fan of the 5th gen prelude. I never saw the 4th gen around but it's definitely a good looker!
Still have my 1991 Honda Prelude 2.0Si manual transmission. Currently daily driving it & I LOVE this car. Debating whether to rebuild the B20A5 or swap in a H23VTEC & show love to the chassis. Either way, it’s never going to leave my ownership. Might look into getting a 4th or 5th gen eventually
If you're going to swap, see if a 3.2L V6 from an Acura TL fits.
This hits...I miss my black 94 5spd....
H22a swap, lsd,act stage 2 clutch, a buddys "spoon" flashed ecu - 7900rpm, - 2" teins, 17" motegi wheels, i/h/e. The green digital cluster with black leather, ....man!
the 3rd gen Prelude is one of the most graceful and elegant design in history
and they gave it disc brakes Son!!!!!LMAO
hahaha glad you liked it
I have a 2021 typeR and absolutely love it…. But I love the Lude too! Bring it back
Si stands for sport injection. Cause many cars were still carbureted back in those days, it helped it stand out.
The Prelude SI was definitely underrated and was a quick little car from the factory
I love them all Especially the third and fourth gens. Even my car, the lowest spec third gen with 104 horsepower is fun.
My uncle had a 94 prelude and I'll be the first to tell ya it was a badass lil car!! Plus that vtec was the shit and plus it sounded really dope as well!! I remember going snowboarding one year and had to drive up a mtn and that car hauled ass up the thing, needless to say I was blown away by the handling of it. It will always be one of my favorite Hondas.
Love the later gen Prelude. Like you said it's downfall was price when you could get a Z28, Mustang GT, 300ZX, etc for about the same price. A 200hp na 4 cylinder sport coupe just didn't make sense anymore. But God I'd love to own a clean Si or SH
awesome video, iv had a 1st gen prelude for 7 years and the car dose pick up and go for a small engine but at the end i still loved driving my 3rd gen 4WS lude, after all i have owned 14 of them hehe
Nice summary. Honda learned what Chrysler did with K car based Coupes, Ford did with the Probe, Mazda did with the 626 Coupe, and Toyota did with the last front drive Celica. And Lancia did with the Gamma Coupe. Under-steering front drive and big fours don't make great Speciality Coupes. Fords Mustang and Chevs Camaro and Pontiacs Firebird offered all the fire and brimstone with better recognition and reasonable cost.
I think the earlier Japanese sports cars were more fit for the roads in Japan with lots of twists and turns unlike the huge expanses of straight highways in America
I had a Yellow 88 Si. Loved that car.
The big windows of the second Gen were because the beltine was so low. If they were made proportionate no one would fit in the car. That said, it was the smoothest, best handling, most entertaining 13/10 scale go-kart ever created. I went toe to toe with a 79 4 speed Z28 and we were dead matched on the highway but I had the edge on the twisties.
Dude, great video. Back in the day, I was all about the Prelude.
Also, I think it’s important to note that in countries like Australia and Japan your license, registration and taxes can be effected by engine displacement which is why Honda’s try to go 2,5 liter and below with their engines - upfront cost is one thing but some folks also have to consider annual costs... which is why Japan couldn’t pump out 5-6L monsters like Camaros/Mustangs/Chargers and why they’ve been relying on turbos for power early on
You didn't mention there was Prelude with 4 wheel steering. Yes the rear steered too. The late '80s model used double Keihin carbs, then they switched to multipoint FI and added VTEC in 4th gen and suddenly the car was a rocket. One of the nicest looking Honda machines.
Check out 5:59 ?
Prelude Gen4 and Gen5 were great for sure. I enjoyed mine very much
I had a '96 Prelude. I still love that thing.
I’ll never understand people who don’t like the styling on the fifth gen, it’s my favorite one with the 3rd a close second, but I was only 4 when it was discontinued and it’s such a bummer that it was
45 grand!!!! I didn't know that! No wonder they didn't sell. I like the 4th gen best. My friend's mom had one and it was so nice. Very handsome too
Absolutely love my 5th gen type S prelude ❤ thanks for making this video 👍🏼
My 1st car...92 honda prelude si. 5sp. Manual, 2.3 l non vtec dohc..i loved and miss the car everyday.
Double wishbone suspension is rarely found on entry level cars today. Even the civic type R is a variation of macpherson strut.
Honda could definitely make a very sick prelude right now!!
They should bring the prelude back that boxy sporty look would be very in style right now
I had a 94 T bird with a 4.6 ... the first Triton ever. My buddy with a prelude waxed my ass in a drag... I was so humiliated to lose to 1/2 an engine.
As a Honda Fanboy as soon as he said, they put the civic and the accord together I’m like prelude
4:09 thanks for making this video just for me. thanks.
Prelude was my first 2 cars. I rode in one right before I got my license and fell deeply in love with the digital dash and the look of the car. Reminded me of the long look of the supra. I own a civic today but ultimately would like to sell or trade for a prelude. 4th Gen is by far the best looking Honda ever made
I thought this would just be a run of the mill video but you’re funny man enjoyed this
i love that you used the black ops 1 multiplier music for the background
They were loved in my little home town. The civic the crx and the cream of the crop was the prelude vtec tho
That DOCH 2.0 Si moved and sounded really good with a 3in intake.
Had an ‘86 w 5-speed. Pure fun. Superb auto.
I have a 2001prelude manual transmission, vtec with aftermarket header and exhaust.... Such a cool car
I had a 4th gen and what a great car that was! Super reliable and the wrap around digital dash was cool.
I currently still have an ep3 typeR but it's just a toy.
Honda should remake the prelude one last time as a typeR
I had a blue Prelude in 1985. Best car I ever had.
I wanted a 5th gen so bad when they first came out. You almost never see any of them anymore
The 3rd Gen is fun to drive. I have had 2 and I like the distinguished body style.
I had a forth gen Honda prelude and I still think it had the best interior Honda even put into a passenger car. The space age black out Dash panel was well ahead of its time, and the sporting seats were better than Recaros. …….
I had one of the first 79 and 84 models. Great handling, especially the 84.
4th gen was always a cool in my book.. ty for the video
Had 93 prelude with the h22 engine awesome car loved it
I tried to buy a 1992 Prelude when new. Got turned down for financing. My second choice was the 240 same year. Got the 240 and never regretted it. Still like the 1988 Si though
I have a brother who is 5 years younger than me and when he was in high school his girlfriend got a 2000 Honda Prelude type SH. My brother always thought he was the best driver around and in short order he totaled the car trying to drive it on a night with freezing rain. The car was gorgeous but her parents bought her a Grand Cherokee with the insurance check.
excellent.... Sold my 5th gen , purchased a bigger car for my new family at the time... worst mistake ever... i could go canyon carving a road trippin in that thing and it was a dream
Love the footage from sydney motorsport park i was there that day and that white prelude has a FA20 from an S2000 its a beast.
I had three 5th gens. They'll always hold a place in my heart
I've got a 4th gen '92 Si. Was the first Si of the 4th gen and didn't have Vtec. Its a 2.3 as well, engine code H23a1. Anyhow, I enjoyed your video. I really want a Vtec 4th and a 3rd Si one day too. Definitely have plans for my '92 once I make her more mechanically sound. Keep up the vids!
The 4th and 5th generation Honda Prelude are beautiful cars. Personally i like the 4th the best. The problem with the prelude was it was too John Deer. It wasn't a car that made you stand out to the masses in the sport car world. And the civic was less expensive, lighter and could be made to go faster than the sports cars of the time. I remember the rumors of swapped EF civics being as fast as v8s and the movement began.
This is no knock on the prelude. Its a beautiful overlooked vehicle for sure. And in today's age anything can be made fast.
Lol! Bruh this is the best back story ever. You should do more back stories on all types a shit. Like the history of the toaster or why Abe Lincoln is on the penny or some shit
Thats why i kept mine it’s basically a collectors car now lol very hard to find a non rusted one and low mileage
I had an '84 prelude..so much fun to drive..
I learned how to drive a stick with my uncles 3rd generation Prelude. Often think they should bring this back. Even as an EV.
I had 5th gen SH for 7 years. It was my first car. I was originally looking for a 4th gen vtec manual but couldn't find a good one.
As an owner of a 01 Electronic blue prelude SE(canada model) i can definetly say i dont see enough ludes, gets alot of eyes tho.
Yes still my favorite car I has to this day was my 4th gen prelude si. The original GhostRider-R, owed that car domain for years may still may find shadows of my white GhostRider-R 93 prelude si online.
I still own and drive my 1978 civic cvcc and my 1980s accord cvcc...both hatchbacks and still very fast
I miss my 92 Prelude…such a fun car.
can you do a pricing video on all of the generations of preludes in this vid?!
The final gen prelude also had gear issue (auto trans) i believe it's another reason why it's not so popular
Nice one bro! I got a 4th Gen and a 5 Gen. 4th Gen takes it all the way best looking and drivability is a lot better.
got a 4th gen sittin in driveway wit h23a bluetop , euro r lsd tranny wit rbc intake mani. thing still rips
1st Gen Prelude with a turbo K would be sick.
I have a pearl white 1992 honda prelude si. Sadly it was rear ended but hopefully I can get her back on the road soon.
Thanks for this ........ forever 4TH gen Prelude
I still have my 4th gen prelude. The body is in i'd say 90% shape the engine well I blew that thing up in college. I was a bit shorter back in highschool now I'm 6'7. Such a great car to own 93 prelude black 2.2 h22a, 5spd. The car was so great on gas also and you could drive on E forever. I'm looking to restore it they're becoming very hard to fine and in prestine condition too. Any suggestion on jdm site? for an engine they appear to be getting harder to find the H22a..
