Default New in forum...Just picked up a 96 Si

What's up guys...

New to preludes, not hondas! Had an 01 Type R about 2-3 yrs ago and sold it. Been missing it since so I finally picked up another Honda last week. It's not going to be my DD. More of a weekend/toy car. Anyways...on to the specs.

95 Prelude Si with a JDM Type S swap. (Still running cold a/c and power steering!)
Lowered on Eibach springs.
Sunroof converted to 5th gen glass
Suspension converted to 5th gen wrapped in RSX type S wheels
MINT interior was just redone in all leather! Only thing wrong with interior is the broken cup holder! (Anyone got an extra????)
Some JDM intake arm (looks stock to me!)
Megan header
Newish paint (not top notch work, but shines pretty good!)

I picked it up Wednesday. I usually work 50-60 hrs a week so I haven't even had any time to dissect anything yet. I was hoping to get to that stuff today and tomm on my days off. Its running on a chipped P72 ECU, but I can tell it really needs a tune. It's running pretty rich. Next week I'll take care of that.

I'm just trying to sort through some things now....like why do I only have 2 rear speakers working?!?!? lol. Here's some pics. These are not mine... I have yet to wash it and wax it and take my own pics.

that's clean looking. When I was looking for a second prelude I test drove one that looked exactly like yours

Looks awesome, get some more pics, maybe you got the good Type S intake to go with the motor.

It's full of win, I wouldn't get rid of it, just a K&N filter for it and you'll pretty much have IMO the best intake for the car.

It has a K&N in it now! lol... All it needs is a tune, which will be done in less than 2 weeks.

I can generally tell when a car has had shortcuts done to it. But this car, wow, looks fantastic. I wouldn't change a thing on it. Pics of the Type-S intake!!

thanks everyone...appreciate the compliments! Only thing I'm not happy with and consider a "shortcut" is the paintjob. It looks like a glorified maaco job. It'll do, but I'm just super picky when it comes to stuff like that.

I'm also in the process of re-wiring the stereo. It was pretty hacked up...works, but I want it to be clean.

I will try and get pics up tomm night when I get home from work of the engine/intake.

fail/\ this is one of the best cars ever seen here on hater tech. much props. it looks like everything was meant to be on that car. I do agree that the wheels could be changed but with 5 lug your choices are endless so just keep it between the ditches and keep it clean.
