I'm looking at buying a base model Prelude with about 95k miles on it, manual transmissions. Here are my questions:

1. How much HP/TQ can the stock internals handle before they need to be upgraded?
2. How much HP/TQ can the stock transmission handle before it needs to be upgraded?
3. I just sold my 2004 Infiniti G35X. That car was extremely expensive as far as power-to-price ratio. It did not respond very well to bolt-on mods. How is it with the 5th-Gen Preludes? Is there a lot of untapped power available?
4. Any common issues I should be aware of? (Passenger side window not rolling up all the way, trannys blowing up at 100k, fender rust, etc.)


Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the typical "link me to FAQ thread" response. I already looked at that thread and it does not answer any of my questions.

 

You didn't read the proper items then. Keep searching.

 

after owning a 5th gen i can say the only problem i had was i some how lost reverse lol. other then that i loved it and would love to get another.

 

I have a 01 lude that I just got 2 months ago. It's super clean and had 103k miles on it. It has most bolt on mods and a 4th gen ECU and is dyno tuned. I lost the dyno graphs else i would scan them. I go out every Friday and Saturday and don't lose much. It's not going to be the fastest car out there, but it's a luxury honda. The engine bay is really open too.
