Thumbs up Benny's BA2 Prelude - Project Shakotan.

Righty ho ladies and gents!

I've bought myself another Honda, not just any old Honda (although this one is old lol) it's a 1987 Mk2 Prelude 2.0i-16

One of the last Mk2's made it has a non-VTEC B20 engine, Cool as fark factory single wiper, Shagpile carpets, SUPER comfy seats, optional amazing squidgy spoiler and . . . . . FLIPPY LIGHTS!!!!! Haha

Actually LOVE this car already. It drives like new, no really, it does.

54K on the clocks and it's pretty much the definition of immaculate.



Plans are:

To lower ASAP

Source an HKS Windmaster exhaust

Find some temporary track wheels

Source some old skool Deep dish SSR wheels 15x8 or x9 ET's in the minus's

Then get them to fit lol

Hopefully it'll be looking fresh as for Japfest.

Time for some pics!










Retro wheels!



Single wiper! + weird bonnet spoiler thing



LOOOOVE the spoiler





Interior is IMMACULATE



Woot!

Alright, another Prelude guy.

Your car is mintastic, PLEASE don't hack this thing up or destroy it. It's damn here impossible to find a clean old chassis that hasn't been wrecked or rotted to death.

I'ma gonna take care of her, she might scrape the floor more often than not tho :P



Found my self a rare set of Rennsport Carving Stark II's which are made by Work wheels Japan.

3 Piece split rims.

Refurbished and have brand new T1-Rs on.





Then fitted my coilover sleeves! Didn't even bother with the adjuster part on the rear, just swapped the springs lol

I LOVE the results! 100% happy chappie!

Stuff the sound, it's the torque! Pulls so damn well compared to my old B18 and B16.

New coilovers are for 83-87 Gen2 'Lude, which the car is. Custom made.




Well today I rang Gaz Shocks to order my coilovers.

They have to be specially built which takes a few weeks as there has only been ONE set ever made before.

It's the GHA KIT.

Super excited to be able to slam the fuck outta the 'Lude lol
