Some might know of the 750hp prelude but those who dont, here you go

i don't know if you can still call that a prelude, it shares almost no resemblance to my car. other than a few miscelaneous chassis pieces and the engine designation its a completely different car. i am impressed however that they kept it FWD.

 

sure as hell looks like a prelude

prelude engine

i dont see your point?

 

hmmm just missing doors... a front end, interior..

you know.. .. basically if you see this thing going down the track, you say..
what the hell...
instead of
damn is that a prelude.. ??

 

they dont run down the track w/o doors and hood!

thing looks just like a prelude. so your saying if thats not a prelude, then papadakis' civic isnt a civic either huh?

have they ran that prelude yet? ive never heard any numbers...

 

baka

I know they dont run down the track with out them...

im saying from the pic posted, if you saw it just like that, you would have to look at it a while until you said.. damn... its a prelude..

 

 

ok...
now this will be the retarded question from me for the day..

if its FWD.. why does it need the Wheelie Bars?

 

because the weight still shifts and the wheely bars help keep the front wheels planted on the ground just like on a rwd but its for a different reason.. on rwd car its so it doesnt lift and cause a wreck, for a fwd car it keeps the front ones planted hard for good traction

 

good point about papadakis. and no i don't consider his car a civic. yea it has some civic parts on it or some variation of them but other than looking like one on the outside its really not. tell me what do you consider the NASCAR winston cup cars? certainly its not your every day chevy, pontiac or ford. think about your statement and what i meant by mine.

 

well half the body is original prelude and the motor came in the car off the production line... unlike most of the drag cars out now compared to stephan this car is more prelude then that is civic

 

thats tight...finally someone decided to use the preludes shell with the preludes engine..unlike all these other people who are using "civics" when all they are are preludes with other cars shells on them...i think thats awsome!

 

either way i just think its a bad *** car and i hope it does well because it might spark a little more market for the 4th gen prelude... because most of the time i see parts for the b-series cars that they dont make for the lude

 

yea thats mine...

 

where is the AC???

 

that is the dopest thing i have ever seen

 

Where's the axle?? If I can remember it was the passenger side when the car was at Maryland International Raceway..


.

 

so has it ran or what? nobody has said.

 

I was gonna ask the same thing...

 

It is front wheel drive.Those are traction bars, keeps the ***-end of the car from sagging during accelration, which keeps the weight from transfering to the back, and lifting the front-end up.
