I got a 92 type S prelude and was wondering if there is any Honda or even Acura out there that might share same parts as the 92-96 Lude? Parts like proportion valves..clutch cable..brake upgrades or anything!?

 

honda accords share similarities with preludes considering that H and F series transmissions can bolt up to any H and F block.

 

Brakes -> use the VTEC rotors and brackets, then you have the option of using the VTEC calipers or you can upgrade to the Legend or NSX calipers, but be prepared to run a 17" or larger rim.

Get parts here:
RockAuto

Clutch cable -> prelude doesn't have one, our trannys are hydraulic.

 

I was going to say the accords but someone beat me to it.

 

Well i know about the accords and thank you very much fellows for the info.

 

The upgrades sound very good..i haven't tried some of these and I'll deF give it a try. Im not too happy about the rim upsize though..Im on 16 right now and i would rather stay there..but we'll see.
On the cable, its hard to locate or find some..i just installed some metal lines from an EK civic coupe..works fine but don't wanna shoot myself in the foot. Advise would be appreciated. Thanks to all again.

 

Thank you..anything would deF be helpful.

 

I'm not sure what metal lines you are talking about, there is no clutch cable in a 4g prelude. Unless you are talking about the hydraulic lines, then you should check RockAuto or a salvage yard.

 

FYI, the NSX (NA1) and Legend calipers fit under 15 inch wheels, so 16's are fine. The NA2 NSX brakes are larger in diameter, but still fit under 16 inch wheels.

-b.

 

My bad, I must've confused them with some other calipers in my head, like the Brembo or Wilwoods

 

yes the hydraulic line for the clutch. I have checked the salvage yard as well to no avail..but I'll deF keep checking..and also that web site you mentioned..thank you again.

 

The good thing about preludes(4th gen and up at least) is that even the base models come with discs all around. If you're talking about doing basic upgrades, I'd say the brakes can handle a decent amount before needing upgrading. Another thing to consider about brakes is that you don't necessarily have to change the whole style to get better performance. You can get better pads, cross drilled rotors, etc. to improve performance noticeably on a budget.

 

From what I've read on cross drilled rotors, they can be a bad idea if they are actually drilled out, if they're cast with the holes in the discs that's a different story.

Your best upgrade for street brakes is a set of Hawk pads and PowerSlot rotors.

 

I could see that being a problem. If the rotor was not designed to have holes it could be weakened by drilling them..

 

yes it would deF be a problem...the rotor would be weakened everytime you brake..especially when it overheats..but why would one want to drill it themselves??? DeF NOT RECOMMENDED!!

 

I wasn't talking about drilling it themselves, I'm talking about the mfg casting a blank rotor then drilling the holes in.

If the rotor is cast with the holes in it, it would be a lot stronger than a blank that was drilled after the fact.

Basically stay away from drilled rotors, first of all, from the research I've done on reviews, they don't provide the claimed benefits, secondly, I've heard of them developing cracks and breaking.

 

i think the 90-97 accord shocks and springs are compatible with 92-01 ludes???

 

I knew about the 90-93 accords but not the later models.
