Icon4 new member! 92 prelude s

Just bought this . Needs some interior. Well a lot of interior work everything is falling apart but I love it already. Planning on trading wheels for some better looking 16"
Would be nice to hear your experienced opinions!
Has a stage 1 clutch. Stock rebuilt engine

They're addictive ... I still have my 92 S though she's in a state of repair and just bought a 96 Si that is keeping me busy... I love the junkyard..

After two days of driving the car around town the clutch went out.
Took it to mechanic and he replaced slave and master cyl ($150) and he said I needed break pads all around so $200 more. Fixd the wipers and one door lock. Slowly getting it fixed .
Been driving it for 5 days or so and I like it more everyday it picks up pretty dam good.
I'm glad it could be saved on time

Welcome
In my opinion, that car looks clean! And I think black wheels look great on red cars. That sucks that it already had a head gasket leak on a recently rebuilt engine. Have any future plans for the lude?

Nice prelude, man. Gets me stoked about working on the 4th gen I've got on hold for me. Can't wait to sell my EJ1 and put some love into the lude.

Thanks! I hear you man I whish I had $5k to drop on this car. That would be enough lol.

Future plans: -shocks(need them bad!)
-Window tint
- climate control needs repair
-power locks
-and speedometer needs to b fixed.
After all this is taken care off I want to go back to suspension and make sure it handles good and smooth.
We'll see what next after that

ive seen some pretty cheap deals on ebay on shocks just go to ebay and type in 92 honda prelude shocks but as far as what im putting on cause mine are like dead dead dead lol im just go to advance and get the monroe ones think 66 apiece they got kyb ones but the oem ones are fine for me plus kyb are like 15more bucks more guy put this up about kyb shocks

Comments about KYB Gas Strut:

At 137K miles on Honda Prelude (base). I have to replace the front with pairs of KYB struts, drive like new not too soft or bouncy. The rear was replaced with Honda OEM at twice the cost; wish I discovered these before rear was done. No more bottoming out at end of slope drive way. Time will tell on reliability, but it's life time warranty.

paint looks really good! (from far away) lol .
only a few mistakes done when it was painted but i plan on fixing all that later.
i like the color.
been planning on repainting the wheels. or just stripping them down to aluminum if possible.
I got lucky enough to find a 94 prelude that was wrecked and i can get spare parts from so i think i will be fixing the interior up pretty good
