nice cars to drive around in man. spend ur money on keeping it road worthy, and clean it up a bit.. give it some paint if it needs it, maybe a set of rims and lower it. Anything more then that is money that could be better invested =D

Mi2_crazy
Well a cool are intake or anything
i wanna rebuild the engine and trans 2 cause yeah i can.
Maybe some other stuff.

92_WhItE_H23
yea get it running mint..it would cost alot of money to make those very quick. for less money you can upgrade to a newer faster car i would think.

Mi2_crazy
What would u suggest then lol i dont want it liek supper fast some fun factor but not overly crazy if i had money id get a 98/ but i dont

92_WhItE_H23
i dont think there is a whole lot of aftermarket support for your gen. you can get a CAI and an exhaust but then you just make noise.. you wont really notice a difference

Mi2_crazy
What do u suggest then? FOr a car

92_WhItE_H23
thats up to you man its ur car lol. im just suggesting what you should do with this one.. i just wouldnt sink money into it because youll never get it back out.

A 90 might be easier to tweak and tune than a 98, plus I hear they're faster anyways. FWD 4 cylinders man. It doesn't really matter where you go, it's hard to really tweak and upgrade a FWD 4 cyl car. AWD/4WD you can go alot further with because you'll be getting better traction and power transfer to the ground. And anything RWD with a bigger engine is nicer.

If you want something you can work on and that you can see gains from, I'd avoid a prelude.

ya man there are nice body kits and shit that are really cheap now for our cars. but engine wise not to much man you want speed you would try the h22 swap, but i will say you would have to do it yourself or costs way to much. i have am doing a rebuild on my b21a1 90 lude this winter and adding a few performance parts so it will get a little more hp. and if i have the money a turbo which are super hard to find for are cars. white ur really trying to push this save your money bull on everyone lol you must still be mad you lost your car its ok.(wat you driving now white)

2g's/ where the bench mark for preludes/ and 3rd gens carried over wat wasn't quite all there in the 2 g's except there were a tad on the long side compared to the second gens...a 2/3g done properly will walk on a 4/5 gen on the autocross course anyday of the week:D
