hi there i was browsing through ebay lookin for preludes until i have spotted this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=6259 and check out that interior and what type of motor is in there also?

thanks i would like to know more about this model

 

WTF ??? non v-tak 5th gen

 

It looks nice, but i wonder about that engine in there, would anyone please clarify this for the crew.

Thanks.

If so, why didn't they sell this here? i would have bought one on the spot and not pay so much for the damn vtec i have.

 

If I had the money I'd buy that car just so I could strip his interior.

EDIT: I emailed the guy and asked him for details on the engine, so maybe the seller will be able to shed some light on this non-VTEC 'lude.

 

I like that interior with black outside, i think it matches and it is nice, i'd buy it if i had no prelude, but i'd only offer 9g's.

 

It looks legit. Look at the redline. It doesn't go past 7000. I've never heard of one.

Honda only made VTEC Preludes because the Prelude was supposed to be the flagship car for the Honda car line-up in the US. They were pretty much forced into it because the Prelude was a car known to be on the VERY expensive side for what you got.

i like his steering wheel

 

-its 4 lug and has usdm bumpers, no fog lights, base shift ****.

 

ahh it is a 5th gen SI

 

yup it's the F22B DOHC they kept putting that in preludes there. That's why if anyone says JDM H23A (the non-VTEC one) you can laugh cause they don't exist

 

i sure as hell wouldnt buy that car from that seller since he has no buyer feedback and wont accept escrow or paypal....only way id touch it is if i was abel to meet him face to face.

clean looking car though, id like the wheels

Yeah, I figured if they put them in 4th gens, then why not the 5th gens too...

 

usdm bumpers? no turn signal light holes up front=JDM, you must mean no typeS lip...

and seeing the 4 lugs on a 5th gen is just plain weird! BUT I gotta ask why did they ever bother creating both 4 and 5 lug versions?

thanks for sharing, awesome find. and c o m e on now, u can trust this guy, he probably owns that other white lude in the garage.

 

man, those 4 lugs would look sweet on a 4th generation :drools :

 

I want those wheels! But that interior is HIDEOUS!!!!! ewwww and a non vtec 5th gen wow thats gotta suck

 

Anyone got any stats and specs of that engine?

 

Put it through altavista http://www.honda.co.jp/HOT/Mod....html

There were even 2.2 SOHC engines in 5 gen in Japan.

And this one above is exactly: http://www.honda.co.jp/HOT/Mod....html

 

FYI there were SOHC 5th genners here in Europe, based on the F20A4. They too have the 4-lug wheels, with 15" rims from the 4th gen VTEC.

 

oh, really

It's the worst model ever here I'm from Euro too... I could swallow 2.2 SOHC, but 2.0 sucks a lot.

 

haha that Xi has got to suck.. .14" wheels???
