Honda Prelude thread? Are these good cars? They seem really nice, love the look.
Here we go

"Durr fwd a shit" meme
People discredit a good car just because it's not rwd

Not really, they're shit.
>>15208816
>>shit interior
Not the 4th gen with that dash.
>>15208816
>shit interior
How? The reason they're heavy is because the interior is so luxurious.
>>15208822
>>15208816
these fucks mad that this prelude can smoke what they are driving
>>15208805
You can still race and rally it and have fun though.

It's a really bad mediocre car. Better to build a civic.
>>15208714
Stop making these threads.
I hope you get banned from life.
>>15208866
Is this a joke, that Jun prelude is almost as fast as the s2k on the touge run
>>15208886
only because the other civic they brought were not complete and very experimental
WAT is up with the constant prelewd shilling threads on /o/ lately? I feel like it's the new AE86 meme machine
>inb4 this faggot hates lewds because "hurr durr FWD"
nah I actually like them, my brother has an SH. It's a gud shitbox for what it is, but I wouldn't go out of my way to own one
>>15208958
>shitbox
No, it's not.
>>15208983
>car is over 15 years old
>not a shitbox
pick one
>>15208958
i dont understand why people think performance based hondas are shitboxes or just hondas in general.
they arent.
>>15208993
>implying any car over 15 years old is a shitbox
k
>>15208906
Which means they couldn't compete with the JUN Prelude
>>15208999
>>15209004
I just think it's a shitbox because it still has that 90s interior feel. Not to that it's a bad thing, I just wouldn't want to DD something that old. Honda was better in the 90s interior-wise, especially when compared to domestic vehicles, but it still feels dated and slapped together as fuck when compared to something built within the last 10 years
>>15209030
So your argument is that the prelude and Honda in general is/are a shit box because of interior?
>>15209008
>the prelude beat poorly set up cars meant to be tested and not for all out best performance
Wow
>>15209046
Which is what every Civic is compared to a prelude, poorly setup junk
>>15209030
Who cares about interior
>>15208817
I mean this is a special case. It REALLY should have been FR. It would have been perfect. Instead it was another civic with a different body.
Same goes for the eclipse.
>>15209065
2-door accord, not Civic.
>>15209069
IT'S NOT AN ACCORD
REEEEEEEEEE
>>15209069
It's much smaller than the Accord and slightly smaller than civic
>>15209065
Nope. Wrong.
>>15209079
And what did it do different? It could have been great. It was the same shit Honda was putting out.
>>15209087
Very good engine. Was used to test new technology that they still make use of today. Solid chassis and good suspension from factory.
>>15209075
>not an accord
>entire engine bay sheet metal, mounts, axles, engine and drivetrain are accord compatible
>>15208714
sup
>>15208714
>Are they good cars?
yeah, but stock-for-stock compared to competitors from the same years it'll be slower unless you can find the highest level trims. (assuming you can find one stock to begin with)
>why does /o/ not like it
FF
Is outclassed by the Civic in all regards unless you listen to the JUN shills who swear a purpose built toguecar is what everyone is going to end up with for a reasonable price/maintenance.
Good aftermarket
Most models have shit engines
>why I like it
Leather options aplenty
stick shift, rev-happy VTEC engines available
looks good with my Integra
is often slower than my Integra
Tl;dr
It's a good first car, it's a good commuter, it's a great project if you have time and a lot of money.
But, as with every other vehicle there -are- better options for your money. It just comes down to "What do -you- want?"
Hope you're still around OP
>>15209781
Jun prelude is pretty close to stock my family .
>>15209789
mi familia...
>>15209813
>close to stock
JUN shills, everyone.
>>15209819
their Integra has less done to it than the Prelude.
>>15209813
>>15209819
>no weight reduction
>stock brakes
Are you really starting a tuning house argument ? Are you seriously going to throw down? Youre taking all this shit for real? I'm done with this thread .
>>15209831
I'm sorry, you must be salty that your JUN prelude is not close to bone stock at all.
>tuning house argument
there is no argument, you're the one who claimed
>close to stock
while the opposite is true.
>weight redo
>brakes
Dear jesus, brakes are done on your own dime, babe.
Weight redo is for boyracers.

love these worthless toy parts for chinese baby bitch engine
i cant believe there is a viable market for this shit
>>15209841
now i do understand, most hondabois are low-key ricers. they don't understand how just doing engine work is all a car needs to be good, and when only engine/powertrain work is done to a car, they believe it's close to stock, as it lacks things like boost gauges, too many cluster pods, red-painted brembos, and a stripped interior reminiscent of a drag-car CRZ.
>>15209870
yawn.
>>15209057
MOst people? That's the bit you have to be in when you're driving, yea?
>>15209909
not that anon but maybe if you're taller than 6'3 or bigger than 300 lbs. I'm 5'11 and 140 lbs, never had a problem getting comfortable in anything but bigger trucks like Suburbans, I don't much like the detached feel of driving those.

Why are you on /o/ If you're "most people" when it comes to cars ?
>>15208839
Hahaha ha since when I've seen a prelude go up against a 325ci and lose and the 325 wasn't even fast.
>>15210771
that means nothing without more details
>>15208958
I'll take credit for the first few threads. I wanted more info on the car because I was thinking of buying one. Now I can't decide because not only can /o/ not be objective about a Honda, they don't know anything at all about the car. Not to mention every thread I made divulged into FF KEKS VS RWD KEKS before 404'ing.
>>15211256
What do you want to know about it? I've had mine for ~5 years now. Learned manual in it, dragged it for a season (lel), daily drove it 100/miles a day for a while, and now have it as a project car.
>>15209046
>s2k
>poorly setup
>>15211553
I've always loved the looks of the 5th gen therefore I've always wanted one. My budget is $3k and under. My other choices were Miata, Mustang (foxbody preferred but any will do), and 240sx's. I don't intend to mod the car so it will be stock. The express purpose is to have a fun second car. At the moment I daily an auto sc300, so I'd learn stick on this car.
So, does the Prelude hold a candle to my other choices? It is the only one that's front wheel drive. I have no passion or knowledge about Hondas so I don't know. But I did read that the SH comes with ATTS, which I guess gives it an almost rear wheel drive feel. Is it worth it?
>>15211624
z31
I have had one for about 7 years and I haven't had a more reliable car. Only thing thing I don't like is where the oil filter is.
>>15211624
>Is it worth it?
The SH is worth getting, especially if you don't plan on modding it too much. The SH is actually a difficult car to mod beyond breathing improvements, because you need to stay OBDII to keep ATTS, but it's really great out of the box. The feel isn't quite rear-wheel drive, but more of a "point-and-shoot" directness to the handling. I'm not sure if they're at the $3k mark though.
>does the Prelude hold a candle to my other choices?
It will objectively handle better than all of them, Miata included. A Mustang might be faster in a straight line depending on the car. It's definitely worth considering in that list.
>>15211655
>Only thing thing I don't like is where the oil filter is.
Really? I prefer the location of the oil filter over both my S2000 and 8g Civic.
>>15211669
Thanks for the advice. Got any pics of your lude?
>>15211639
A less luxurious, less reliable, uglier MK3 Supra? Why?
>>15211669
Mine is right over the cat. 5th gen.
>>15211717
rwd
>>15211684
Sure, pic related. It's in mostly good shape, but I plan on rebuilding it over the next year or two. I have a pile of parts (cams, valves, CF stuff, etc) waiting for it. It's an SH, so I'm going to attempt to tune it with a piggyback. Figure I can experiment a bit since I have garage space for it now it's not my daily driver anymore.
>>15211756
Back of the engine, right? I always thought it was easy to reach over top to remove it, and it never spilled oil everywhere like the Civic and S2000 do. Only thing that's a pain is the oil cooler, had a hell of a time replacing the o-ring back there. I think it's a bit easier to reach on a base than the SH, but the SH doesn't seem too bad to begin with.
>>15211776
...that's it?
Worst car ever made.
Hated by honda enthusiasts.
>>15212019
You don't speak for me, faggot
>>15208830
He is retarded.
Prelude is a shit car but the interior is nice.
>>15208999
Just the prelude is.
Even honda people don't like the shitludes.
They are okay for what you pay though...
>>15209051

Good because I don't like "honda people."
>>15212072
Good because honda people don't like you either.

You're not a Honda Person so again, you don't speak for me

>>15212143
Whites, Asians, Blacks and Mexicans.
