[Ivank88]

Clean rides guys. Fujito where u from exactly? Also any side shots of ur car? And nighthawk...Looks good but I've personally always been a fan of the spoiler lol. I really like the low profile swept spoiler on the 5G's. ur wheels are super sick tho. Looks awesome. This is good tho lets keep this goin.

[01NightHawk]

I never had a stock spoiler. It's an option from the factory - purchased off the original owner and he never had one. So he had installed a mini commando wing that leaked alot of water. Also left me unable to open the trunk without use of a wooden prop rod lol.


Wheels are 17" ADR Pretty much most of the setup is from the previous owner, i've been slowly changing things to make it my own now. The slim spoiler you're thinking is the Mugen or the Type S.


Ty for the compliments though :D H22 4th gens are quick - 4ws?



I've already pm'd / contacted the 10 'luders i'm aware of on here and some that I know personally lol

[Ivank88]

Stoked. Ya i like the mugen. Its qwik for sure lol. No 4ws tho. Thats ok by me tho all that extra stuff is heavy haha. Haven't lost a race yet. Haven't raced anything I knew would kill me but I made some interesting wins lol.

[01NightHawk]

I don't bother racing anyone. our cars weren't ment for the straights lol. I do have some horror stories from the twistys i used to take daily....Those were always a win ;)

[Sberk06]

ivank, where did your roommate buy it? it looks a lot like my friend spencers old prelude.

[Ivank88]

ivank, where did your roommate buy it? it looks a lot like my friend spencers old prelude.

Lol he bought it here in OK. It's a 93 S trim. He's gonna build an h23 vtec (not a blue top). I was supposed to help him but Im movin home instead lol.

For real tho guys i wanna get a legit prelude club goin when I move back. Who's down?

[01NightHawk]

Ah I got lucky on remembering who had a 'lude on here still :P

Just sent out a few more PM's.

[silver01lude]

I'd put my pics up, but its rice as ****, in terrible shape, and for sale. So I shall refrain. I will miss her, nonetheless

[Ivank88]

^^^ Stoked man. Let's keep em coming guys. PRELUDES FTW

[01NightHawk]

Ivan - everyone over on preludepower is active there lol. I'm not speaking for everyone, but we typically just meet up for our meets and that's it. Besides Justin, V, and Josh whom are always crusin around together, there isn't a pa club :P dispite i'm in DE - i'm always in PA anyway and its rare to get anyone out that doesnt have work.

The only active club nearby is NYPOC (new york prelude owners club)
and then us in Delaware DPOC
New Jersey NJPOC (not sure for how long)

[Fujito]

I'm going to drive this Prelude until it dies, which will probably be in another 20,000 miles.

[01NightHawk]

How many miles are on it as is ?

[Ivank88]

99CBMlude - U n Nighthawk are from about philly ya? Thats like 2 hrs away from me. Clean car tho man. My 1st car was almost a 2001 sh fully loaded. Decided not to spend 13k tho lol.

[01NightHawk]

lol Yeah Ivan - I sent the word out to all the guys I know from Pp.com that just so happen to be on TST as well :P

The pic of both our cars was taken down at the Skyline Drive meet in VA last fall. Max and myself also made it up to the Tri-state meet in NY last year, the Delaware meet and KOP.



There are 4 guys out your way, Kane666 on pp.com, 2 guys from lancaster that are on here with 3rd gens, and another 5th gen if i'm not mistaken on pp.com.



I have too much time on my hand to know this **** lol

[Fujito]

I'm around there myself, car still runs strong as sh*t. You have nothing to worry about if it was taken care of.

Well, the power steering is going out and the ATTS and SRS lights are on.

I bought the car with 160,000 miles. It cost less than my Volk wheels for my other car :lol:

[01NightHawk]

You can part it out when you're done ;)

[scott8989]

I don't. Sry bro. I can ask around for u tho. Whats ur price range?

price range is cheap and im looking for locals. glad to see a bunch of lude owners on here

[Vtecepidemic]

whats up everybody... I hail from an central Pa, right near bloomsburg. In Korea now on a year tour with the airforce. After i get back from here ill be in pa for about a month on leave and then ill be moving to south carolina for prolly like 3-4 years.

I have a 91 w/ 4ws. that isnt currently running & a 97 Sh. that im just piling parts up for when i get home. Pics below. even though most ppl have seen mine before.

[scott8989]

i want your 91 lol and thanks for serving man ive been thinking about joining the airforce

[Ivank88]

Clean 3g bro. I love 3g's. The service is gettin picky now bro. I tried to enlist in the AF when I turned 18. Only thing I ever wanted to do. They medically DQ'd me.

[scott8989]

ya i tried getting to the AF like 2 months ago and the denied me cause i have to many speeding tickets lol. im gonna go back and try and get past that fact

[Ivank88]

U should be able to do waivers for ur tickets. I had 1 or 2 n they cleared fine

[scott8989]

ive had 12 in 2 years haha

[Vtecepidemic]

yeah,..... i was gonna say. i got in fine and i had a ton of tickets too. mine were from the age of 16-20. had like 16 points on my liscense at the worst point. lost my liscense twice. but i straighted up in the last 5 years since then. BUTTTTTT because of all that i wasnt able to work on f22's. they said i was a high risk acceptance or something like that. A rep came to my techschool class asking for vounteers to cross train and i offered, but after anweringa few questions and him talking to a higher up than him on the phone, the next day i was told of the ****ty news.

you might not be able to get waivers for that many tickets. it sucks, but you represent the Airforce 24/7 so you go around doing that **** after your in and kill someone theyre gonna post your profession all over the headlines and itll give the AF a bad name. unfortunatly that what they see when they see the tickets.


more on topic. just got new wheels for the 5g.

SSR DeColte GP Theta's, discontinued back in 01' i havent seen them on ANYTHING. 17x8. no crazy offset, just nice wheels.

[scott8989]

very nice wheels. and ya i havent driven stupid in over a year. actually i havent done anything stupid since ive owned my prelude haha. but they said having that many tickets and 3 points on my license was to much.

[Ivank88]

Damn bro lol. Thats a lot of tickets haha. Wheels look good man. Super clean. BTW the 2nd pic of ur 3G...where is that at?

[01NightHawk]

Met another 'luder in Delaware tonight. Who just so happens to know 2 of the 3 mystery modded 5th gen 'ludes in northern DE lol.

[Vtecepidemic]

Here's a teaser if u will. Gettin all the exhaust done monday but I got her all fixed n the hytech rep installed :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fj05hPNg4I

[scott8989]

ah i remember open header days lol. had my car tuned last week. needless to say i need a few things now after beating on it lol. check engine light came on and ruined my day lol. picked up some red light weight lugs from jspek today and plan on painting the konigs tomorrow. should be a good day tomorrow hopefully

[Ivank88]

lol ya I been babyin mine. Plus dude its so rediculously loud it gives me a headache lol. Im wakin up early tom to go do my exhaust. Then I'll get tuned this week sometime. Super stoked. I wanna get over 210whp. We'll see

[scott8989]

hehe im over that hehe. and ya checked my code today and its a P0740 torque converter circut malfunction. im just gonna let it go and blow the trans so i can justify a 5 speed swap haha. also did a little something today to the summer rims. the new tires will be mounted and they will be on the car soon

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc353/scott8989/188951_10150168081767755_607342754_8064384_7608466 _n.jpg?t=1301253471

haters go ahead and hate haha

[Ivank88]

whats done to ur car lol
wat numbers u puttin down?

[scott8989]

skunk stage 1 cams, ghetto intake and cat back. i did 6 runs (which i shouldnt have cause my car did not like it haha.) and the 3rd one was the highest at 216hp and 190ftlbs on 93 octane. all the other runs stayed around 195-205 so unless the machine messed up that one run i say thats where im at as of now. my gas millage went from 25mpg to 18-20 mpg haha. just changed the oil about 5 days after the tune and noticed my axles werent to happy and i need new motor mounts and front pads. once i put the h22 head on and do a bit more work internally i plan on seeing 275hp all motor.

[01NightHawk]

^ You know that's over 20k in parts and labor right? lol I've got a friend with a 275whp 5th gen. It's not cheap :P

[scott8989]

not really. h22 vtec head, type s pistons with h23 rods, stage 2 cams, billet lower end, copper gaskets, and some other odds and ends. im prob looking at about 4k with all new parts. seeing as how i can do the work my self.

[Vtecepidemic]

scotty...i like you man. but there is no way your hitting over 200 hp aready w/o a vtec head and extensive work.

& even after you do the work your planning, youre not gonna manage to hit 275 all motor. odds & ends if theyre not worht listing arent gonna add to anything, a copper gasket isnt a power adder...a billet lower end also, nothing.... the head and the type S pistons are all your really looking at. but unless you got a little something else up your sleeve your not mentioning then might wanna be a little more conservative with the numbers game.

[Keeper1343]

Type s pistons might be able to get you around 220... after that, its about 1000 in Just porting and polishing. Not including the valve train thats around 1500. Then intake, throttle body, injectors, fuel upgrades. And that's just te head. Your looking at around 3000 for the bottom end atleast... I would say plan to spend around 8 thousand atleat. And most of that is parts. Barely any labor.


Any of u guys have a spare IACV laying around that I can by? I'm working on the car today and need some parts.

I actually might have a spare one laying around somewhere... let me check when I get home.

[scott8989]

must have been a ****ty dyno then. but thats what it said o well. not really caring anyways because my friend didnt charge me for the runs and tune. but ive seen other h23 vtec builds hit 250+ for around 4-6k and that was just stock parts no porting, no fuel upgrades, nothing special. me saying 4k was off scale for actually what i want done and your right i am prob looking at around 8k. but i think i can hit 275 when all is said and done. honestly this wont be done for quite a while as i plan on keeping this a very long term project. i plan on having this all together within the next 5 years but who knows. im glad you guys came in here and gave me a baseline of what im looking at. o and the P&P and head work i was planning on having my friend do for me because i have seen his work and he is amazing. so that wont be anywhere near 2500 lol

[scott8989]

i actually just called him and left a message cause im curious about the dyno used and what he tuned it with. im kinda depressed now cause that got my hopes up lol

[Ivank88]

H23vtecs make good power. 275 is a longshot but possible. I have a laundry list of things I wanna do to my car to get me between 250-3200whp including full port work, cams, valve train etc. Im lookin to spend about 10k total. But its not impossible. My last dyno (old exhaust) made 191/154. I should be over 200 easy with s300 tune and new exhaust set up. But that is NO internal mods. All bolt ons

[scott8989]

thats a wide range 250-3200!!! lol sorry had to call it. what bolt ons do you have?

[Vtecepidemic]

scotty... were you not present for this dyno run?

was it a roller dyno, or one of the ones you hook your hubs into?

[AutobahnRacer]

Lol the ones you put your hubs into is called Dynapack

[scott8989]

roller. i was actually called there to help my buddy with a sr20 swap but i told him what i was doing to the lude and he ran it for me

[01NightHawk]

First mistake you made Scott - should've gotten a 3" exhaust. That would give you something to the list :P

[01NightHawk]

Keeper - there's a part out near me, i just gave the guy a call to see what's left of the car if it was wreaked or just dead...

[AutobahnRacer]

First mistake you made Scott - should've gotten a 3" exhaust. That would give you something to the list :P

3" on N/A Honda = yinnnggg yinggg yinggggggggggggggggggg

[scott8989]

haha i should have that way everyone within a miles radius would hear me lol

[Keeper1343]

Thanks nighthawk. I just picked one up today. In bored as **** tonight. I want to go for a cruise.

[scott8989]

your not the only one lol. im gonna be out all day tomorrow so my cabin fever will be cured lol. still trying to get more photo shoots done

[Ivank88]

haha i should have that way everyone within a miles radius would hear me lol

Not true. I have 3"...Not that bad. I like it. Not crazy loud. And When I dyno'd I had FGK header, 2.5" Apexi exhaust, AEM CAI. Other then that I have NGK wires/plug and an Exedy Stage 1 clutch/ F1 11.5lb flywheel. thats it

[01NightHawk]

Yeah I don't know what you guys are talking about it being loud... 2.5" will be louder depending on the setup and no gains. We get an actual (small but still decent) gain from a 3" exhaust. If you choose your parts right, there's no reason for it to be loud.



ugh just saw tomorrow its not going to rain... guess that's a good thing since i'll be relocating my fusebox and battery....

[Keeper1343]

Nighthawk... where u located?

Nighthawk... where u located?


Do you know where Concord Mall is in Delaware? I'm in that area, 202/rt 1 is the nearest big main intersection in PA

[Keeper1343]

Holy ****. What were u doing up at RT?

[01NightHawk]

Holy ****. What were u doing up at RT?

o.O lol I used to do service work based in norristown before i quit - that drive doesn't seem far to me



I was up with a buddy of mine getting his 06 STI tuned. The previous owner did a DIY street tune, screwed the motor up and traded it in to a dealership - then my friend got it and the motor went to crap. So that was trip 2 getting things sorted out.

I'll actually be up there again next Thursday. My buddy's getting the final tune done... supposed to be 6 hours to finish, they have a few odds n ends to replace that are messed up still. I'll be hopefully swinging by Shades Of Gray to get a quick light done since its rare i'm up north anymore.

[Vtecepidemic]

You talking about RT Tuning?

[Keeper1343]

Yes sir

[Ivank88]

So just a radnom heads up. I plan to try makin some cooling plates for the 4g's. I'll keep everyone posted once I make them. We'll see how it works

[01NightHawk]

Frank made alot of them a year or two ago.... tossing that out there.

[Ivank88]

idk who frank is lol

[01NightHawk]

o.O' <- that's all i have to say....lol

[Ivank88]

I still have no idea what ur talking about lol.

[scott8989]

[Ivank88]

I've seen so many 4g's recently its unreal. Was in Hanover off the golden mile yesterday (ate at aroogas....****ty service btw) and seen like 5 4g's in 10 min lol. I can't wait til my cars inspected so i can drive again

[scott8989]

ya ive been seeing alot more lately

[scott8989]

H22 head ported and polished with 5 angle valve job and 5 angle stainless valves, aem adjustable cam gears and skunk2 stage 1 cams, stock h22 valve cover, and skunk rockers and retainers. I think I had a good night

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc353/scott8989/227484_10150230114837755_607342754_8413896_2629103 _n.jpg?t=1304564385

[scott8989]

just picked up a h23a3 block tonight but not sure if im gonna use it or not. we shall see

[Ivank88]

who did ur headwork and how much did u pay if u dnt mind my asking? I was planning on using cccylinderheads.com but wouldnt mind finding someone reputable locally

[scott8989]

was done by spyder prep out here near my city. guy is a mad scientist when it comes to head and block work. im actually in search of a h22 complete block now. and i payed a fraction of what the actual work costs haha. all in all in that pic its about 1500 bucks worth of head work and parts haha. i didnt pay nearly that much.

[Ivank88]

Well I wanna do a nice port setup on mine, 5 angle valve job, s2p1 cams/valve train, ferrea valves, s2pro adj cam gears and I think thats it lol. I'll have to check my list lmao. They pretty reputable tho? All the assembly I can do on my own I just need a shop for P&P etc lol

[scott8989]

ya they are. lots of people around here and around the state go to him. or you could always buy my stuff for the right price haha

[Keeper1343]

You bastard... u only paid that much. Dammit. Wish I had a second head to mess with... I also have a h22 block that needs to be rebuild. Spun a bearing so I went with something built. I think the crank I have in there just needs to have the one journal repolished and it should be fine. I think I have a micropolished crank for that motor too. Have to check

[scott8989]

haha for the right price it could be yours haha. and i might just go with an h22 swap since its the best bang for my buck at this point. now i have to find a block to do that haha. you been spying on my facebook keeper? haha

[Keeper1343]

Not at all... u said something in this thread about maybe a block. Pm me about the head.

[AutobahnRacer]

Well Scott, I found you a good shape one a few months ago, but you wanted to go the Frankenstein route which isn't worth all the trouble.

[Ivank88]

Well Scott, I found you a good shape one a few months ago, but you wanted to go the Frankenstein route which isn't worth all the trouble.

Cant afford it now scott lol. But ya bro I had the g22 motor and Ill be the first to say it pulls like no other but is such a mutt motor that its not reliable. Go h22

[scott8989]

keeper ill pm ya and ya I'm probably gonna go with the h22. just gotta find one cheap or sell alot to get one

[Ivank88]

I paid 1200 shipped for mine. Thats what it is thru hmotors (but i went thru humble in tulsa). Motor came with 27xxx miles on it. Im sittin right at about 30k now. I figure why pay 500 for someones out of a wrecked 5th gen when for a little more u get basically a new motor lol.

[scott8989]

new rims and amber sides

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc353/scott8989/227973_10150237211057755_607342754_8483862_4780452 _n.jpg?t=1305298970

[Ivank88]

Personally im not a big fan of the falps. Mine are all off. Sold em. They go for a decent price n seems everyone wants em lol. rims look great tho man. Really good

[scott8989]

My car is getting legal at that pace lmao. I will for sure have my inspection on tuesday tho so if anyone is down for a cruise this weekend lemme know

[scott8989]

picked up a p13 ecu today along with some new suspension. still trying to find some time to gather my other parts

[Ivank88]

Shoulda got a p28 bro. Ur gonna need it later

[Fujito]

I want to put some MB Battles on my Prelude and make it sit nice. Do I need coilovers? I don't feel like spending $$$ for them.

[Ivank88]

U dont NEED coilovers but coilovers or coil sleeves (spring setup over aftermarket struts) or drop springs (neuspeed sport/race springs are great). But for coil sleeves and struts ull spend for new like 400ish giver or take. For lowering springs the ones i recommended are like 150-200 plus sturtus (but c an be run w/stock if sturts are in good shape).

[Erik@R/TTuning]

Wow, that white Prelude is a great looking car!

I want some aggressive wheels and I want to make the car pretty flush on them with some camber. I don't want to spend a lot of money though.

[01NightHawk]

o.O cheating on the Evo?



If you're serious - try checking out this thread for everything "dropped/flush" prelude related; http://www.preludepower.com/forums/showthread.php?t=336623

[01NightHawk]

. . . . .

[scott8989]

sticking with the p13 for now seeing as how I got it for next to nothing and the p28 will be later. and about time your car looks nice Josh lol

[Ivank88]

I want some aggressive wheels and I want to make the car pretty flush on them with some camber. I don't want to spend a lot of money though.

I have about 300 in suspension (bought sleeves used with 3k on em) so all I paid for really were my struts. But Im slammed man. I physically cant go any lower or I'll drag the exhaust. And I had it all professionally tucked. Im like 4" off the ground at my highest point

[scott8989]

well lots of updates with me. picked up a obd2a to obd1 jumper and picked up some new decals. i put the decals on the and the next morning i came outside to a nice surprise on my drivers window. also picked up some new suspension. B&G springs on kyb gr2 struts

[Ivank88]

Scott I got a phone number for u (ill get it to u tom) for a cheap new windshield. Mine cost me 230 brnd new installed w/warranty as long as I own the car.

[AutobahnRacer]

^Thats about average. I payed a little less actually at safelite for mine a back in the day

[scott8989]

i know someone who will do it for 180 but thanks guys. comes with warranty and all

[Ivank88]

O well **** I wish i coulda paid that haha. When I priced safelite it was 270 so i was stoked with 230 lol

[scott8989]

accord front lip is finally on

http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc353/scott8989/252139_10150253669757755_607342754_8622874_4054628 _n.jpg?t=1306607787


window still needs fixed haha

[01NightHawk]

Heeeeeeeeey - I have a lip exactly like that.... on my accord.... lol

Ive seen the rear lip installed alot but rarely ever see anyone do the front as well. Lookin good Scotty

[Ivank88]

Looks good scott. Id rather be spoonin tho lol

[scott8989]

spoon lip knock off is 100 bucks and this lip was 20 lol. i now have accord front and rear lips now. the front needs a little more lining up then it will be perfect

[Ivank88]

Ya I kno ut I always loved em. Plus the ebay spoon knock offs look more like accord mugen reps then spoon. Legit spoon reps are 200ish

[scott8989]

meh to low for me and doesn't look stockish enough. but to each there own. soon to be getting some more nifty parts.

[Ivank88]

U get all kinds of work done constantly. What do u do for a living may I ask lol

[scott8989]

I work at a giant lol. and I buy and sell parts and do photography on the side.

[Ivank88]

Photography....now theres a source of income lol. dude im workin 2 jobs n for the life of me i just wanna get some **** done to my car lol. Im tryin to figure out how to or if im gonna paint my car myself.

[scott8989]

I'm working 1 job technically and have a kid and I find time. also photography isn't as good of a business as you may think. well for me at least. I make most of my money buying and selling parts and sometimes buying and selling cars. ill probably be painting my car myself with the help of my friends paint booth.

[Ivank88]

Damn man idk how u do it lol. Ya I miss all my connections lol. I had all kinds of stuff worked out in tulsa.

[scott8989]

not really connections more like Craigslist haha. I also do 99% of the work myself. on a constructive note I'm taking my new motor to the shop tomorrow and cleaning her up

[Ivank88]

Mechanically im fairly sound. Still learnin some stuff but i kno enough to be dangerous. Painting I have a base knowledge but no experience. Im wanting to do a pearl paintjob so some help/connections will be good for me lol. I kno all the basics just need some experienced help lol

[scott8989]

ya i know almost nothing about painting but im learning more as more as i do it

[ked84]

here is my 92 si. alot more work to be done!!!!

[AutobahnRacer]

I scrapped my ****ing lip last night twice trying to park, I don't know how you lowered guys deal with it.

[scott8989]

people who are lowered are just better drivers haha. and ked84 where you from and what's all done to your lude? need any parts let me know haha

[01NightHawk]

You get used to being lowered. I've scraped the underside of my front lip probably 3x and curbed one wheel - all in the first week of owning it. i've been safe...for now... lol

[Ivank88]

I drug the frame for the 1st time in a yr the other day. Was my dads fault for not using a turn signal tho9 n stickin me between 2 cars. I was followin him. Bein low isnt too bad tho. Just have to adjust is all lol

[ked84]

people who are lowered are just better drivers haha. and ked84 where you from and what's all done to your lude? need any parts let me know haha

The black one is an ongoing project and the white one is my DD.

[01NightHawk]

I think Frank sold his white 4th gen to some guy that lived up in the York area if i'm not mistaken... thing was mint with no rust - is that by chance the same one?

[Wicked_bb2]

Nope, got mine in lititz, one owner all original, still has the original honda tape deck in it. Definitely would've bought frank's car. I thought he parted it out though

[Ivank88]

cant wait to see the black one runnin ryan. Looks good

GOD DAMN CAPS LOCKS MAN haha. my build is slowly getting there all my gaskets are supposed to arrive the end of this month and i have decided to sleeve the block and go with a different set of pistons and rods and such. but as i said im building 2 motors so that takes a financial toll as well haha. im gonna take the whole motor to the shop and just let my buddy work his magic with the internals and such. gonna order some arp head studs and bolts and gonna get this new head P&P'd as well. im still looking for a p72 or p28 ecu as well as an obd2 wiring harness and also looking for an h22a4 complete intake manifold. so ya i know how ya feel man haha. just let me know when its all up and running and ill head up that way to check it out

So Scott, what are your expected numbers after this build of yours? I'm assuming you're going for mainly 1/4 times? expected times?


I'd be willing to start that 5g vs 4g bit again given I get a job soon. With both of us keeping ABS, PS, AC etc little friendly competition could get interesting lol
