anything to watch for? just what is so special about the SH? just looking for words of caution when looking at buying one. thanks!

 

don't buy a a auto. I had a 99 and it sucked.

 

only thing real special about the SH is that it comes with different rims, ATTS system, painted side skirts, and thats really all....I'd just get a base model, and make sure its a 5spd. You're be happier in the long run...Whatever you do, don't buy one thats already modded. You don't know what all its been through.

 

all the prelude's around town are red and automatic it sucks a big fatty! i was hoping for the white or a dark blue color personally!

 

Get a 4G VTEC<------Shameless plug
If you have to get a 5G I'd go with the 5spd base. Preludes have weak synchros when subjected to bad or abusive drivers. Just make sure that all of the gears are smooth and that you can shift to every gear easily.

 

Sometimes you just have to travel around to find that perfect one...You ever try http://www.autotrader.com. you can find one close to you...

ya, ive looked at autotrader for the past couple of days. when does honda recommend replacing the timing belt?

 

I thought it was pretty much standard on most cars, 60k miles for a new timing belt. Chain belts are a little bit different story, but you won't have that in the Lude.

 

well, from looking at hondaprelude.com i think id go JDM fogs, carbon fiber hood, and an AEM CAI and be done with it basically. oh, and the OEM bodykit! leaving the suspension stock and just going for looks basically. i played up the integra and all it got me was a bunch of attention from the local authorities to the tune of about $3500 in speeding tickets the last couple of years.

 

Check out the JDM type S body kit.

 

That carbon fiber hood you're planning on getting won't draw attention away from the cops just to let u kno

And speeding tickets are due to you speeding, not because your car attracts attention

 

great, be sure to let us know how that turns out

 

Actually Honda doesn't recommend changing the timing belt on the BB6 until 90,000 miles.

 

the integra is 80,000 miles i believe. i get pulled over for silly stuff not just speeding. changing lanes too fast, driving erractically (and i know i wasnt), just basic harrassment from the local cops especially in Plano if anyone is familiar with the area.

im trying to find a black 97+ prelude so the carbon fiber hood will blend in!

 

Where can you find it ??

 

jb, whatd you do to your civic?
