I got mine for $802 (with shipping) from www.manhonda.com . I was gonna install it myself, but the dealership offered to install it for free.

VERY nice lookin cars you guys :D
Always wanted a Prelude myself.... <sigh> :rolleyes:

Really sharp looking though :)

Damn. Nice cars everyone! Hey Jacques, is that a Mugen exhaust on your prelude? I also love the rims!

Jaques...

No, not in awhile. But, they are considering it next year. The lot we have most of the events in is huge...so it is feasible to have a ProSolo event.

well, if you guys get it goin, i may take a drive on up there for a few :D

Not my car but a picture of a Honda Prelude Pace Car at Motegi, Japan. Picture taken during CART Racing Championship Series.

How large are your events out at your region?

here is my wifes 2001 w/30 miles just got it new years eve

sorry about that here is a better one

not very... about 20-30 per event. we also have a hard time with the local community when it comes to getting rights to use a parking lot.

I'm guessing you guys get alot of seat time out there. Over here, we get 160 drivers that compete at each event. One of my friends (who has a similarly-modded Prelude), is going to autocross this year, but he's having a hard time finding events near him in Alabama.

With a little bit of luck I´m going to buy a black VTEC Lude like axngen´s one next monday. (without the OEM body kit) It´s black too and built in year 2000 with about 14700 miles and air-conditioning. It´s completely stock and the only things I´m going to change will be the suspension, turning signals and maybe an AEM CAI for the first time. Does anybody has got a CAI on a lowered 5th gen Lude? I´d like to know if it´ll fit without problems on a lowered Lude with stock rims/ wheels!? Did anybody had any problems with water or in winter with ice and snow yet? It´s raining a lot at my place and I don´t want to "destroy" the engine. Thanx in advance.
By the way, most of the Ludes in this thread are damn nice!!! Good work!:smoka:

not too much seat time... i would like more. we probably arent as organised as your group, and our timer is crap, so we have a lot of restarts.

also, most of our guys run it as a test and tune... the whole group makes a lot of showings at regional and national level events.

CAI fits fine. lowering wil have no effect on it, as where i live gets flooded a lot, but i have yet to hydrolock mine. you just have to use common sense on the road, like dont go driving thru rivers and such.

Thanx a lot for your quick response, drift! The CAI will be on my list...:D

Veetec--as "drift" said, I've had the AEM CAI for over a year...driven in rain and snow, and have yet to have problems.

drift--a number of the competitors compete in regional and national events. Four of our members (2 men, 2 women) won their respective classes last year at Topeka.

axngen, do you know exactly how many inch you´ve dropped your Lude?? And do you need a camber kit? Nice car by the way!

Well, I'll be in STX this year, since they deem the SH "illegal" in STS...total BS!

If I go forced induction later in the year, I'll be in your same class. :D

i havent gotten the new rulebook yet, but i heard that the SH got tossed from STS due to it's ATTS system. what's this "STX"? a new classification between STS and SM?

Sweet!!! Advans are the shiznit! :cool:

Seen some good look'n ludes. My baby is a 2001 lude I bought new in Germany. I am in the U.S.A.F., so money is kinda tight. My first mods so far were to lower the with German racing springs, dropped it about one and half inches in the front, with about a one and a quarter inch in the rear. I also got an awsome deal on a set of 17"by 8" BBS RC's. Definetly more mods come'n as soon as I get the money.

I assume you are talking about the front bumper because it has the Evo style fog lights. It's a JT Autostyle front bumper. www.jtautostyle.com

http://personal.lig.bellsouth.net/lig/o/k/okubomr/Turbo/DSC00058.JPG Very nice, drift. Good work!:) Where did you get the white gauges from and what was the price? It´s in miles and km, isn´t it?

i got the gauges from www.jegs.com they're the Autometer Ultra-Comp Lites. both gauges were $40 each.

yes, the speedo is in MPH, but it also has Km/h in small numbers

thanks! it aint very clean... got a dent in the hood that i still need to fix that some assclown put in when backing into me.

6psi for now, 8psi when i get this dumb TVVC to work right. i'm puttin the AVC-R on order next week, so i may not even screw with the TVVC.

pipes get powdercoated this week if i can get out of work, and i'll be cleaning up some of the exposed wires next weekend.

as for tonight, i need to adjust the cam gears for boost.

Looks clean to me man, besides, you've got a turbo under the hood, that's all that matters. :D Very nice setup.

:sun: Very nice! I´d just paint the sideskirts, too. Where have you bought it (King-Motorsports?) and what was it´s price?

Yeah, i've been meaning to go back to the guy who put it on and get them painted too, but I just haven't got around to him yet!

Nope, no way could i afford a genuine IMPORTED mugen kit! I live in Australia and the shipping alone would cost me a fortune! I bought it from a guy who copied it from his genuine Mugen kit ;)

Price was very reasonable for a kit (front bar, and rear ground effects), AU$800, plus AU$50 for postage from Melbourne to Sydney. Came in this big-arse box too.... Nice suprise when I got home! :D
