Was this put together by someone or did honda really make a 97 prelude without a vtec engine?

That appears to be a Prelude Xi that came with an F22b DOHC non vtec.

 

its not an h23.. its an f22b i think? or something... im pretty sure it was an F.. it was on SCP

 

I'm not sure how much I like the red interior on that....

 

Ugh..the red carpet is a bit much.

 

60,000 mile, RHD Prelude for $1500 with a fun little engine and everyone's complainging about a little red upholstery?

You guys got a screw loose.

Build the block throw in some Crower cams and you've got a unique car on the cheap.

 

More than 4 days left. It won't be anywhere close to $1500 by the time the auction ends.

true that. if only

lol you can always swap out the interior

 

it says f22b on the title... or whatever that paper with the jap writing on it is....

 

Not sure i like F22b in a 5th gen though... clean, RHD, nice car... though

Def. not, but the jdm style two tone on the dash is kinda cool looking...

 

yeah... h22 is hands down a better choice.. below is from wiki.. im not sure how correct it is, but it claims that f22b was only used in 4th gen. who knows...

ok... more research shows that it is definately a JDM Prelude Xi

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Prelude

Wiki needs to update the application info on the f series chapter

 

dang yea thats right... you prompted me to go back to the book and take a look... but when i look in our jdm books here at work it calls it a (BB5) which i thought was pretty interesting so i figured id share...

My book Shows:
F22B (BB6 Si) PS: 160/6000 CR: 9.2
F22B (BB5 Xi) PS: 135/5200 CR: 8.8

1997-1998 Japanese Motor Vehicle Guidebook Vol. 44

the Xi would prolly be great for boost... 8.8 CR stock... no rpm though
