Default New Prelude Driver

Folks:

In about two weeks I am going to retire my 96 Civic EX as I have purchased a 1998 Prelude (non-SH). Since I am new to the world of preludes (however, not too new to the world of honda forums), I would appreciate any 'Prelude Owner Must-Knows' and performance tips/suggestions/preferences. I plan to keep my Prelude stock for the most part.

Thanks,
quantguy

good choice, get rid of the civic lol.

keep an eye on the oil, some have atendancy to eat a quart every 3,000 miles
get a helms manual. the others are not as good as it.
always use premium. it will give better performance and better MPG. and it says to on the car lol.

good luck
