Hey guys,

Its been a while, I had a 93 vtec for two years as my first car, but i had to sell it for college, but I recently ran into some good luck, I found a 45,000 mile 97 base lude for 9000 dollars!!! Of course I had to get it so I got it on Friday and I am really excited. Anyways, I'm not sure what kind of setup I want, I been out of the game for a while so I'm trying to get back into the thick of things.. I'm thinking about doing a Turbo setup with this car, what do you guys think I should do, my old car was an NA setup with just the basics intake, exhaust, pulley and cam gears with a other mods but nothing huge.. What do you guys recommend me doing? is it realistic to build up an all motor setup or should i go turbo? With the turbo will there be many problems along the way, with maintaining, or will it most likely blow the motor after x amount of miles? Thanks for the input...

yay, welcome to the 5th gen, you will be happy, its a newer car and has a young engine, that prelude will last you the next 10 years LOL. What color, i have Pearl White and its B-E-A-UTIFUL

 

its a red 97 base model.. I'm getting a paint job soon, what do you think, championship white or black magic pearl?

 

i would have to say that red is the worst color EVER on a car, its so Fing ugly ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Dont get black cause its a bitch to keep clean, i would just say WHITE, white is your friend, and if you got some championship white, then paint it that color.

I wish I could have your red paint. My car needs a paint job.

Congrats. So, which model do you like better so far?? 4th or 5th??

 

the 4th gen was my baby, she will always be first, but i really like the 5th gen too, but im still partial to the 4th, it seems more "sporty" lol, anyways, damn the red is not that bad and for the price I'll take whatever color I can get..

 

It sounds like you got a good deal on the 5th gen. Which one is faster 4th or 5th gen? which one feels like it handles better? Serach and read up about turbo setups. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=316373 the OFFCIAL TURBO Prelude thread!!!
