Default i picked up a H23 today

I'm one of those people that just loves to drive, goin somewhere with friends, "I'll drive"...and just drive, to drive.

recently I've been like, oh ****, i have to go somewhere. here we go again. hope the car makes it back....

but now, i solved it all...driving is once again, fun...the way it should be

i'll have a more full report on the car later...just wanted to share

Nice. Supposed to be the fastest generation of preludes (same power less weight).

Congrats. Guess youll have to switch forums now.....j/k pot calling kettle black.

sorry for the bad code when i posted the first time, i forgot to look at it as i ran out the door to drive some more

1994 Honda Prelude SI (has the better interior than the 92-93)
153,000 miles (yes high, but look at the car, its in perfect shape)
$5250 out the door including tax title and liscence

oh, and how could i forget the engine pic, so i posted it!

car feels great, engine feels strong, i'll do a compression check sometime tonight

I've actually owned a 94 prelude si before, so its nothing new, but i didn't have a lot of time to enjoy it (it was in the shop 6 out of the 9 months i owned it)

so...whats it like? full interior and a/c ownz me for one...very nice
if you've never sat in a 4th gen prelude, treat yourself to it sometime
the drivers position is perfect, shifter and wheel location....seats are the best ever, its a drivers car before you even start it

on the road...power wise it feels like my accord, but the F23 had more power 5500+, without vtec this twin cam just kinda runs out of breath, midrange rocks tho. engine note is 100 times better than the f23, not sure why, just is.

handling...yes, this is why I love this car....out of the box it just feels right. Cloverleafs were never so much fun. The car just handles great. I see a turn coming and speed up just to enjoy that turn. I don't know how to put it into words...so much better than the accord.

The coilovers from my accord will fit the prelude...but i dont want to ruin the handling so I'm trying to figure out if I'm going to install them. If I did I would only lower it an inch max.

from me

plans...not sure, I have my zex kit still, so if compression checks out it will probably go on there. And I'd really like a JDM H22, but who knows. If funds allow a turbo H23 would own.

edit: spoiler will be on very soon...i feel it needs it bad

Ive only driven a 93 Si before, I didnt care for the interior at all. Never driven a 94. How is it different? The seats were nice though.

That's bullshit, $5250 for an H23 with 150k on it. j/k, that is a nice car you got.

the only reason there are those toddler seats in the back is for insurance purposes.

Congrats on the new ride Brian. The only Prelude I have ever sat in was one with AWS. I hope to check it out sometime.
