when driving my 94 si prelude at highway speeds, 70 mph the rpms are at 3500 and i'm not even going fast just normal speed in fifth gear. is this normal?

Yes, that's normal. It's how the transmission is geared.

 

i dont see why not.. 5th gear is ur last gear. and ur 5th is supposed to be capable of 120+ (though u should probably never see that in the streets) does it feel weaker or something?

 

no, it feels fine it's just that maybe because this is my first time owning a prelude, i didn't know if that was normal. I used to have a honda civic 4 door and it got up to 70mph and i was doing 2500 rpms. also another thing my antenna makes a noise that when it goes up and or down it makes a noise, could that be the motor gone bad?

 

Its normal having that rpms, with your antenna noise it might be some wire connection. Its could also be you deck...
