yellow lude

[preyruder]

haven't made a build thread on here yet.. figured id better make one eventually

here's my prelude when I got it... 1989 Honda Prelude barbados yellow (Y49) 2.0si
with entirely mechanical 4WS
160k bone stock expect shitty speakers/ headunit and a full thermal R&D exhaust. it will be 2 years ago in may that i got the car.

but my love obsession for these old preludes has been an ongoing thing... the car i got my first ride home in from the hospital and the car of my childhood was my dads red 1986 honda prelude si 5spd. dubbed "the red car" i couldnt have imagined my childhood without it


eventually got some enkeis I liked


then got some axis og sans and lowered the car a little with some other suspension goodies


then went with some borbet type a - 16x7.5




4ws


engine bay went from this

to this


then my prelude started overheating and other little things.. like rust. so I pulled it off the road.
rust cut out


for flares


spoiler, all 3 rear badges, antenna, and front badge all welded and filled

a good friend helped me take apart and clean my bottom end

fresh paint


the width






interior shot


coils on


motor to be put together soon.. weisco pistons, h23 shot peened rods, king Motorsport main bearings, ACL rod bearings, new OEM thrust washers, crank polished and inspected. The bottom end is built for boost, the whole top end is rebuilt but essentially stock.


and just me and the Lude..


new wheels have been ordered to compliment the new wider body..
17x9 et +15, 17x9.5 et-10

thanks for viewing

Nice man, I've always had a soft spot for this body style.

4WS YES! great work so far. love these cars

Loving it! Why do the flares end at the molding though? They really don't flow with the body like that.

4WS YES! great work so far. love these cars

thank you! 4ws is a good time

i have a photo of them going past the trim originally, but i didnt like it to be honest. They look a little goofy now because the wheels are not on yet, im gunna also be running little to no stretch. i get where your coming from it could have been done cleaner, but its grown on me. next time she goes under the knife it will be more rocket bunny style

What coils did you opt for? I know of none that go low at all for our cars. I have a 90 Si as my daily.

I have k sport coilovers, I can still get a little lower out of them. and my engine isn't in in any of the photos of them. they are a great product, I'd recommend them

Love the color! nice Honda man! love the Borbet A wheels!

thank you!

PROGRESS...

nothing really. picked up a helical limited slip, new wheel bearings, different front lip,
solid shifter bushings, and some other small stuff.
Also tinted my fog lights to match my EDM corner lights
spring needs to come sooner!
