i have a 98 prelude, but i dont know if its a base model or a type SH. can anyone tell me how i can find out?

thanks.

 

Type SH come ONLY as manuals.
Base Model have an option of manual or automatic.

Type SH come with a small body kit and special honda rims (look better than Base Model rims).
Base Model dosent come with any body kit and comes with normal honda rims.

Type SH, I dont know the technicality, handeling wise, has some advancement over the Base Model.

 

by looking in the faq thread.

 

The ATTS engine light?

 

Sh dont always come wit the factory lip kit. my bros sh did but my uncles sh didnt. it comes with sh wheels(5 spoke, and atts)

While that is good advice you could actually link the guy to some of the info so he's got something to read instead of posting the same question in another forum.

how much u want for the header

 

^ What?

And get under your car, and look to see if you have an intermediate shaft... If you do, it's base model.

 

8th digit of the VIN.
4=Base
5=SH

some SH's come with the OEM lip kit but most just have the stock (black plastic) painted the color of the car

 

base usually have the blade rims and SH usually have the 5-star rims

 

Um guys.. instead of getting all technical why not look at simple things like the rims as mentioned before...

Base= blade "fan" wheels.
SH= 5 star wheels

Base = square ring at the top of your shift boot where the **** connects
SH= round ring...

Base= no third brake light on the spoiler STOCK
SH= stock third brake light

Base= no ATTS light
SH= ATTS light

...simple things.

IDBre is teh wrong.
at least you worded it wrong
all SH's came stock with the oem wing. The Base Model was a dealer option to put it on, but the base HAD the third brake light on the rear deck regardless....the SH did not have a 3rd brake light on the rear deck.

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh no IDBre on Honda Tech!!!!!

 

totaly idbre

sounds like the best way IMO as well. everything else can be changed/removed and swapped out. and yeah its funny that this was brought up a year later. i believe the one that brung it back from the dead, didn't see the year, only the month and the day. oh well. it got more replies now than then.
