Default *BB4 Prelude Clean Up Thread*

This thread is to document my progress on my 94 prelude, I'm open to all opinions and advice This is my first honda, I traded my bagged s10 for it.. so bear with me throughout this journey :D.

So here's how I got it:




94 Prelude Si, with a H22A swapped into it.
First thing I did was clean it..

Waste of time, because I got a new dash anyways -__-


Here's the valve cover now:


Things I need to do:
New Hood
Find driver side oem lip
Get new dash in
Make it mine

Here's the current state of the interior:

Not putting in dash until new horn button arrives, hopefully soon!!.. Also going to pull a part tomorrow! Important things: Hood, hood latch and cable, driver side rocker cover.. If they have some decent back seats I might try getting those, also wanna try to find front lip

Finished putting the rear stuff in, found out why the windshield was leaking. Someone did the WORST job installing it, ended up cracking it while removing it :/

Looks like you have some work on your hands! but it should be fun. Seems like the area in the bay was cut so it wouldnt get pounded from the upper control arm..what a fail lol. I look forward to seeing what you can do with it, best of luck!

Why air bags? First thing I think w/ bagged honda's is young ricer kid.
Take that hideous ebay strut bar off asap.
I usually dont look at preludes. This is the first thread on one I actually clicked on, and I gotta say...I actually like em. Well yours at least. lol
Love clean up threads.

The air bags are for the dash haha. I don't really care for the front strut bar, but my back one is a megan racing so i'll leave that one. Thanks ... it's a little rough, but it's mine!


Also got a type r shift boot, and sanded my shift **** to bare metal and clear coated it, looks pretty good now
