ok...so im interested to see which generation of prelude is preferred between the 4 and 5 gen..

input is great...


thanks

 

its the gen that makes you happy. I prefer the 3rd or 5th gen.....but there is nothing wrong with the 4th. Its all personal preference so your poll means nothing

they are the same car with different looks

 

i prefer the first gen

 

my dad had a first gen, brand new

 

I have a 4th gen, love it. If I can get my hands on a 3th gen in good condition, I'm snatching it up. I love Preludes no matter what Generation it is.

4g g23
5g h22 turbo

...dreams

 

First off I wont be participating in this pole. Second, everyones going to vote for their gen. 3rd, here are links to both pic threads. Look through them both and decide for yourself. The main difference between the 2 models are cosmetic. Good Luck

4th Gen https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=1
5th Gen https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=1

 

fourth gen, cause thats what I can afford
I like that the fourth gen is a bit lighter, but its harder to get a fourth gen to look really nice. Fifth gens with the OEM lip kit are so nice lookin

 

the 4th gen has slightly differant gear ratio.

if you prefer obd1 then go with a 4th gen before 96.

also take a look at the gauges and interior look, i would stick with what interior you like best since you will be in it all the time.

either way enjoy the ride in a prelude.

each car has its own infamous problems. search for them.

 

no problems with either gen- I drive fourth but I still love the fifth, im sure the same goes for most ppl on here. In regards to OBDI oranginal, you pretty much need to have OBDI if you're tuning, but its easy enough to convert OBDII (in fifth gens and '96 4th gen) to OBDI

would you really like to know?

infamous problems with the 5th gens include faulty tiptronic trannys and stuff

infamous problems with the 4th gens include rust, climate control and stuff

things that are not normally prone to an average car.

 

just pick your battles. you have a higher chance of finding a really good condition 5th gen than a really nice condition low mileage 4th gen.

here in norcal the only 4th gens i find are all abused, riced out, or just plain have problems and have high mileage.

on the other hand, if the 4th gen was actually compltely restored, i'd opt for that because i think its cosmetically nicer and has a greater potential for having greater performance. i mean, somethings you just can't make up for power, such as chassis shape, weight, blah blah.

How do you figa? The 4th gen Vtec versions are like 20 pounds lighter.

1996 Honda Prelude VTEC MT 2932

 

well, since i dont have any data to back it up, i was speaking out of my ***



*bows*

 

I think the H22 makes up alot of weight in these cars. Because the h23 4th gen preludes w/o vtec have only like 2800

Someone correct me if im wrong.

Heres a link to some prelude stats https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=549372

Here i pulled it out for you

1996 Honda Prelude S MT 2809
1996 Honda Prelude S AT 2862
1996 Honda Prelude Si MT 2866
1996 Honda Prelude Si AT 2921
1996 Honda Prelude VTEC MT 2932

 

well thats because the h23 preludes dont have some of the features the vtec had; such as leather seats, greater size brake rotors, blah blah.

just take the non abs f22 prelude S model and go from there. that's what i'd do.

no need to buy a pig and make it wilbur.
