hey guys, I'm new posting on honda-tech but I've been reading all the info for a while. I drive a 94 civic ex but my girl has a 92 prelude and i have a lot of questions about it that i hope you can help me out with.

-she got the car from her brother, he had it dropped on neuspeed race springs on the stock struts with a camber kit installed. the shocks blew and now he has monroe shocks with OEM springs. now whenever she goes over a speedbump the front of the car creaks and squeaks and sounds like ****, any suggestions on how to fix that?
-she has an apexi dunk on 2.25" piping which i guess originally sounded really nice but now it sounds like a spaceship and sounds like **** when she is in the mid rpms but you can't hear anything when she is on the highway.

-i don't know if this is normal but for some reason she has an F22 motor.

anyway, i'm gonna stop bitching about this car but it needs some work but i want it to help her fix it up cause i'm always doing stuff to my car. thanks for reading and i hope you can help me out.
-matt

The F22a1 is the normal S trim engine- 2.2 SOHC "135 hp".

The exhaust is something that you should look at your self, it's probably just the flex pipe that got worn down w/ time, or since the car is lowered, everytime she bottomed out I bet it wore it a little more, creating an exhaust leak.

as for the suspension, if it is all back to stock then I have no idea why it's fucked, unless the bushings are just old and crappy... my suspension, which is lowered was great at first, but now, after two +years, squeeks all the time-it's so annoying.
Let me know if I cna help with anything; good luck

 

Yea she probaly has a bent or broken something with the exaust piping especially being lowered. Look underneath for damage and see if anything is dangling. I blew off my exaust on my gen 4 and it sounded like ****.

 

about the suspension squeking.....mine is totally stock and it does make a lot of noise when it is cold like 30-50 degrees........but when its warm outside nothing at all......never have found out what was wrong with it i guess its just old

 

thanks guys, i'll check it all out and see how her exhuast piping is and see about the bushings
