    The Honda Prelude is the type of car that you just never give up on. Even as your neighbors are buying new Porsches, miatas, and Mustangs, you know that that Prelude you have in your garage is more special.

      YES! My friends are buying VWs and even a q50 but my prelude is more fun. It has so much character and never ceases to catch the eyes of anyone and everyone who even remotely knows what it is. I feel like every 4th gen prelude has some kind of story to go with it also, we hear this one's story in the video while others we have to learn through the owners directly. mine lived the first half of it's life in new york, then sat in a field in iowa for 3 years before i bought it. Now it's on its way to becoming a monster that eats hellcats like a stoner eats doritos

    Casually chilling in a coffee shop doing homework a friend was considering her first car. "What about a Prelude?" and I went to use the restroom. When I finished my business "I bought one!" was the response I got sitting back down with my laptop. Great. 26 hours on a Greyhound from Cleveland to Dallas we had Prelude!

    I had TWO Prelude VTEC’s (a 94 and a 96) both low mileage and in mint condition (got the 94 in 1997 with around 30k miles so it was basically still new at the time). Then, seven years later in 2003 I found a unicorn 96 VTEC with just 40k miles (completely stock), dark green exterior and the rare tan leather interior, bought it from an older gentleman in Hollywood, FL, and drove it back home to Brunswick, GA. They were both among my very favorite cars I’ve ever owned! The slick 5-speed manual, starship-Enterprise-dash, screaming VTEC switchover at around 4500 rpm, and loved every second of driving it. My buddy had a new 2002 RSX Type S at the time and my Prelude could beat it in a roll-race somehow. Ahhhh, those were the days. Today I drive a perfectly civilized and modern 2016 Mazda 6 GT with nav and the white leather interior and I love it immensely. But i still miss my old Preludes because they were beautiful (to me anyway), they had triangle tail lights, and that H22A was just so sick when VTEC kicked in yo! But that early 20’s kid in love with his Hondas is long gone now and this middle age dad and his nostalgic memories is all that is left….

There were TONS of small cheap 90s cars rolling around in the 2000s with spray can paint jobs half missing exhausts dadhboards that were probably painted and for some reason we thought those were super cool cars.

      That would eliminate the advantages of the 4WS system. The whole point is that you can put more weight over the front tires for increased traction without some of the associated increase in moment of inertia, as the 4WS system moves the centre of rotation forward from where it normally is (the rear axle), thereby allowing FF acceleration and handling to no longer be at odds.

Turbo charged the shit outta that thing...no exhaust, no weight management, didn't bother to balance the thing, nothing. Just stage one, stage two, stage three turbo chargers. Thing prolly had north of 300 hp. Thing couldn't handle for shit but could pass a stock mustang gt on the straights....Great memories.

I saw the one you did a while back on the 3rd gen, which was my first car, and have checked back sooooo often in hopes of seeing a video like this. At long last, you did it. This reminds me of the '92 that I'm driving currently. At 220,000 miles, it's still the best feeling prelude I've driven by far.

I spend so long most weeks, looking for one just like the one we had, but I can't ever find one that matches it.

Little upgrades like interior LEDs, HIDs headlights, replacing headlights with fresh OEM ones, high-end touch screen radio, tints, added the SH stock spoiler, finally, I'll be painting it the whole thing including the side skirts & rear skirt to make it like SH, all to bring it into this century.
