I've never owned any fwd or honda before so I kinda want one just for fun. I've got just over 5k to spend but im not sure which one to get. I like how light weight the gsr feels but not the narrow powerband. The prelude feels a bit heavier but its got grunt. Which one handles better, is faster in a straight and which one will respond better to bolt ons, sways and springs/shocks and maybe a cam at most all with a proper tune obviously.
Im looking at a
97 gsr stock
95 prelude with h22 stock
92 prelude with jdm f20b
Just to give you an idea of what im looking at in my area.
What is OP pic from
5G preludes are shite
>>15051500
Lol yeah its just the first prelude integra pic I found on google.
http://youtu.be/nmI6I-gND4k
5G PRELUDES SSSSSSUCK
>>15051559
>>15051500
eh, prelude s or type sh is more comparable to an integra gsr
>>15052315
Nah the sh was slower than the base 5th gens in a drag race.
A base 5th gen would be a bit slower than a gsr and an h22 4th gen would be about equal. The type S would fall just above the gsr.
I prefer the Integra GS-R out of the two. I've driven both and the Integra feels better to me. I'd love to have a bone stock GS-R if I could find one. That said the dashboard in the 4th gen Prelude is awesome.
Be careful buying one, they get stolen a lot.
>>15051468
Watch videos of the JUN prelude
The prelude has better styling in my opinion and it's slightly smaller and more packed in .
Also prelude won't get stolen like integra
Test both
w-why so much hate on 5th gen ludes ;_;
i wanted one up until now
>>15054634
me too
>share initials and birthday with it
but every time someone talks about it its with sarcasm or straight up insult
>>15054646
my dad said girls drive them, but
>5 speed
>2.2L DOHC
desu I'd take an integra GS-R over a lude but they're fucking impossible to find here
>>15051468
Any GSR you find for 5k will be beat to mother fucking shit guarencheeseit
>>15054676
the lightest one is 2305 with 6 point roll cage but that is absolutely gutted and may not be street legal (no lights
im sad anon, nobody loves the prelude.
every single time the 2000 prelude was on that show >>15051559 they made fun of
Why not a 02 rsx-s about the same weight 200hp successor to the integra lots of aftermarket
>>15051468
>fwd
>for fun
>>15051468
Get the 92 with the f20b, extra points if it has 4WS
>>15054791
way more expensive
>>15051468
Idk man. I went throught the whole Honda tuning phase in my teens and early 20s. 01 civic and 04 rsx. After a while you realize you just dumped a bunch of money into a car and you still aren't making the power to the wheels the factory even claimed at the crank.
Why not get something like mazdaspeed 3? You can get a higher milage one for cheap. 100 more hp, lsd, 6 spd what's not to like?
Who cares, they are both shit cars for poor fags
>>15054825
You could even keep it stock and it would be just as competitive as your modded prelude.
>>15054825
its a mazda....is whats not to like
>>15054825
Just because you don't know how to tune it doesn't mean shit, my buddies making 300whp in his k24/k20 NA
>>15054825
Pretty sure you just tune badly
>>15054686
The lightest fifth generation Prelude is actually 2282
Dude fuck fwd
>>15055095
>>15055136
>no prelude
>>15051468
OP, I've never driven a 4g prelude, but I used to own a 01 SH. Now I own a 99 GSR. The GSR is more fun to drive, but the Prelude felt more upscale and solid.
>>15054634
They are good cars, they just feel a little heavier than most 90s hondas.
>>15054682
I recently bought a bone stock 99 gsr from the original owner for 4k. Pic related
>>15054800
Well meme'd
>>15055244
>they are good cars
>understeer off track
>never won a single race
>>15055250
Sounds like you're projecting senpai
If you can't have a good time in a well tuned fwd car then you are probably driving it wrong.
>>15055284
You realize these things actually happened right ?watch the videos
I'm not insulting FF, just Preludes
>>15051500
>>15052315
>>15052366
You guys are talking out of your asses
The Prelude SH would beat an intergra type r in a drag race
>>15055335
It lost the drag race, and who gives a fuck about drag
>>15055340
>it lost the drag race
The driver must of been bad, pretty much any review has the prelude being faster in a straight line. As far as handling goes it was voted best in its class 5 years in row by motortrend
>>15055325
Ok, if you're buying a car to take to the track then a prelude wouldn't be the best choice.
If you are looking for a solid dd that is fun to drive, the prelude is fine. The ATTS system really helps with understeer too if you don't plan on modifying it much.
IMO they look much better than the integra and the interior is a lot nicer too. It just depends on what you want out of a car.
>>15055359
No dude. The gearing is fucked in a prelude and tts is dead weight in drag
>>15055360
We are talking performance, don't change goalposts
Can it track
Can it rally
It fails on both levels that fwd has done well at
>>15055373
I never said the prelude was king in terms of performance.
I'm just arguing that it is a good car. Have you driven one?
>>15055373
Then way does the prelude accelerate faster?
Haters be damned, the prelude was the fastest USDM stock honda you could buy besides the NSX up in till the early 2000s
>>15055387
It doesn't see: video
>>15055385
I never said you were.
There's no reason to get one if you want performance
What do you get out of it?
>>15055393
The video is irrelevant, Pretty much any source has the prelude being faster
>>15055411
>proof is irrelevant
>prelude has lost to integra in every single video, was the only car that understeer off course with atts
>>15055420
>what is driver skill
>>15055428
>in drag
>skill nattering
Anyway
We are talking car vs car here. Sure skill is a thing, but that same great driver who did well in prelude would do better in integra
>What do you get out of it?
You get a reliable car with decent performance, that has plenty of space, and looks great (imo).
You won't be the fastest on the road, but it is consistent and enjoyable for most situations on public roads.
Enjoy your superior miata during the winter.
>>15055440
Not necessarily my benchracing faggot, you have to account for things such as gearing, weight, power band, it's not as simple as just jumping into a car after being in another that isn't an identical model
>>15055523
There is no winter, now what?
What do I buy
>>15055530
A bus pass for your benchracing ass
>>15055528
And these things are worse in the prelude, with a bad power to weight compared to integra
>>15055535
OH come on. Defend your opinion
>>15055530
For 5k or less?
Miata with LS1 OBVIOUSLY.
I don't know man, what do you want it for? Everyone has different needs and desires when it comes to choosing a car. There is no perfect car.
>>15055539
In the 5th gen maybe and with the F23-H23 in the 4th gen, but that's why I said earlier to get the 92 with the F20B, it's the lowest weight 4th gen and the engine is raw sex that revs to an 8k redline, the best part about that engine is unlike the H22, it has thick ass iron sleeves instead of the FRM sleeves so it's more durable and it'll take boost better in case you want to go that route
>>15055565
This isn't about 4th gen. That car's good
>>15055568
I thought this was a general Prelude vs Integra, nevermind then the 5th gen sucks dick

>>15055572
Guess we're in agreement
>>15055591
Kill yourself now, it's shit and so are you
>>15055591
The only problem with the drive train is that the engine came stock with FRM cylinders which eat piston rings and cause the engine to drink oil, if you got them resleeved then it would be fine, but as it stand it's a pigfat, underpowered secretary's car
>>15055602
>>15055615
harsh ;-;
>>15055615
frm isn't that bad, issues are rare. main thing is you can't bore them out without re sleeving
>>15055727
FRM literally eats piston rings anon
>>15055736
not really
>>15055749
Yeah anon, really
>>15055777
not really anon, no.
hth
>>15055782
Yes anon, seriously, I meticulously maintained my 4th gen DOHC VTEC H22A and at 150k it started putting out blue smoke, there was no leaks from the head gasket, an on top of that mechanic told me that the rings had gone bad and he's worked on more H22s than he cares to admit, it's why I got rod of it
>>15055792
Outlier
>>15056130
Nope, go on the forums if you don't believe me
>>15056147
No way
>>15056248
Way
>>15056300
Can you stop
>>15056349
No, why?
>>15056499
It's a fantastic car
>>15056978
The earlier gens were better, the engine was shit, and the 5th gen was pigfat
>>15057035
>2282 pounds
>pigfat
>>15059193
The 5th gen weighs more that a cunt hair under 2300 lbs
>>15059193
>pulling facts out of your ass
The Base 5th gen weighed more than 2900lbs while the SH weighed over 3000lbs
>>15060562
>>15060487
Wrong
>>15061772
They're right
>>15061822
Fuck off with your gutted Lemons car, were talking stock this whole thread you mong
>>15061829
>lemons car
>we're talking stock
Wrong on both fronts.
you can DD it at this weight
>>15061849
Except that's not setup for adding, and who wants to daily a fucking gutted Lude? Retards like you apparently
>>15061895
what did he mean by this?
>>15061895
>>15061903
*DDing
>>15061912
How is it not set up for DD
without the roll cage it'd be even light by 150+ pounds
>>15061913
Because only idiots DD a gutted car
>>15061919
except you could add the dash back in and still be good
>>15061966
Not good enough, I like my A/C, P/S, and carpeted interior with sound deadening so I don't get a headache every time I drive to work or wherever
>>15055523
>prelude
>plenty of space
I'm only 6'0 and my head hits the ceiling
>>15061995
>a/c
can still have it
>p/s
who cares
>carpeted interior
can still have it
>>15062029
Then tell me how you are able to lose 600lbs and keep it like that
>Pro-tip
You can't
>>15062335
You can, how heavy do you think this stuff is?
>>15062363
Explain how you dropped the 600lbs then
>>15052540
Spoken like a true salty GS-R owner.
Type R > All other Honda variants
>>15062374
What are you talking about
>>15062411
You said your car weighs 2285 lbs
Base 5th gen weighs in excess of 2900 lbs
How did you shed the 600 lbs?
>>15062468
Why do you care?
>>15062477
Because how
GSR.
B series have more options for mods, handle boost better, car is lighter and better handling. Parts are also a dime a dozen among the Honda community so cheaper and easier to find parts.
I really really like both, and I've driven both. My daily is a 95 GSR sedan and I love the shit out of it. It recently got rear ended and I drove a 2015 Corolla rental... Got back in the gsr and it just feels so much better.
>>15054682
Nah plenty of clean ones here
>>15052540
Im in the south. People steal trucks not hondas here.
>>15054825
>>15062498
I have an sti and an ls s10 this car won't be for making fast. Bolt ons and cam max. I do like the ms3s though.
>>15055360
See above but yeah I like the ludes looks better for sure.
>>15055530
This guys not me ^
>>15062498
Prelude handles better
Preludes are for faggots.
Real honda enthusiasts don't mother with them.
>>15070020
You're a fucking idiot
>>15070223
Pigfat fwd luxury coupe that understeered off track
>>15072767
its still a good handling car ya dingus
