Hi guys,

wonder if yo can help. I'm about to buy a prelude (Jap import 2.2 VTEC) that I won on ebay. I noticed it doesn't have cruise control of a sunroof and obviously the bottons where these would be are missing and there is a little cubby hole.

I understand the above where not optional extras. Is this model I am about to buy the lightweight BB4 Version or something? Apparently it has 4ws.. which made me wonder, but the guy may be wrong he didnt seemto clued up.

What are the benefits of a BB4 are they much faster? Or is this not a bb4 just some cheap prelude 2.2 VTEC without those extras?

Help apreciated!

 

So you bought ths thing already? You should of asked these questions before hand.

 

Haha.. no mate I havn't brought it yet. I'm just wondering what it is!? Probably just a normal prelude without sunroof or cruise control or those three buttons... but they're standard which made me wonder if its another edition or something like a BB4.

I'm sure someone will know..

THis is what I mean by this missing buttons;

 

Not having a sunroof was an option in Japan. Ask the seller if it's the original motor or not

 

I'm not sure if this helps in identifying the model atall but It's worth a shot;



p.s It has folding mirrors too.. which i presume is normal jap spec?

 

Ahhh thanks for that mate, so it's just a normal prelude without a sunroof and without cruise control? I knew someone would know!

its JDM yo

 

and no airbags...RACE MODEL ftmfw

 

If that car was over in the us it would be very rare because of the no sunroof.

I always wondered why in some of the jdm ludes the dimmer was in the center console and this is the reason why.

 

i dont think its "JDM" it might be from Europe. they have that sometimes...does it have a red foglight on the back bumper?

 

JDM options,no cruise or sunroof.
does it have an original H22 tho?
it might be a 94+ BA8.

 

very nice man. I have always hated the sunroof in 4 gens. I guess because I have had so many problems with mine.

lol, ask for the vehicle identification number number.
sorry just found that funny.

 

OK, its definitely a Jap import. The folding mirrors are standard spec on the JDM models and by the dash lights i can say that it is pre-1994. (Judging by the lack of airbags i think it is a '91-92 model but don't quote me on that.)

 

You said you just bought it off ebay? I hope you get it, and don't get ripped off. If you get it just be happy its a JDM Prelude

 

yea im jealous as **** of u man. good luck. do u have anymore pics of it?

 

the gauges are the el gages so its definatly not a 91 (maybe after 93). and in japan they had different rules for airbags.

 

the tag on the front bumper is european.

 

Hello I think a few people may have got a little confused. I know for a fact that it is a JDM import and is fitted with the H22 VTEC. I was just wondering why it didn't have a sunroof or those 3 buttons for the cruise control etc. And by the way, its actually a 1995 model to the guy that thought it was pre 94!

So just to conclude, what I have got is a normal 197bhp Jap import Honda prelude. Not a special edition or anything, just one without cruise control and the sunroof? ANd i think you right it doesnt have airbags does it... thats what threw me! Was not having airbags an option in Japan too then?

I'm not to familiar with the various prelude models but wasn't there a lightweight version called the BB4 that didnt have 4ws, sunroof etc? I was just wondering if this was that.

I am picking her up tomorrow btw, quite excited... and no i didnt get ripped off atall. I got it extremely cheap. Only £900!

Here are some other pictures for the guy that asked. I hope this is helpful in identifying it. I wont have the VIN number till tomorrow... And i'll take some pictures myself then and put them in the picture thread You will noptice it has a scratch to the back and the speedo needle light needs replacing but thats all thats wrong with it..

 

i hate you

 

OMG I love that gauge cluster. = teh sexy.

 

yea i hate u too u lucky bastard.
