hey fellas,
yeah just got a 2001 electron pearl blue lude and ready to go shopping. 1st things first: I need coilovers, which ones get your votes, 2nd Exhaust that is loud and good hp gains, I'm Tanabe Race med,3rd Headers, again I want Hp gains let me know. And lastly I'm either getting The Greddy turbo kit or Jacksonsupercharger let me know. Oh yeah I will be beefing up my internals pistons,cams, etc etc. Again like camron says "Let me know!"

if you're gettin a turbo, don't even bother gettin a new header. ground control and skunk both make good coilovers. apexi n1 is a loud exhaust with good gains. with the turbo, you'll probably get more gains, but maintenance will be an issue, where as the SC you just put it on and dont' worry about it. gett the SC for daily use, the turbo if you're just racing it.

oooh, no... no skunk coilovers. i've had a bunch of nightmares dealing with a friend of mine who has them.
Ground Control is the only sleeve type i would ever recommend.
if you want a good suspension to match the quality of your ride, i highly recommend Tein or JIC Magic. you can get either setup from www.redlyne.com the prices are in canadian dollars, so they're cheaper than you think.
as for turbo, no header necessary. if you go supercharged, i hear the Kamikaze header is good due to short primaries... plus it's the only 4-1 header you can get for a Prelude.
exhaust, i recommend Thermal R&D... i like the stock look and mellow, throaty sound. the N1 will give you the greatest gains, tho. but if you're lookin to go forced induction, no one makes a readily available exhaust for the Prelude. Thermal can make one for you, tho, and at a very reasonable price.

that's one of those turbo myths. actually, you'll have to change the supercharger belt every 10k miles. on a turbo setup, you'll just be changing the oil at normal intervals.
turbo can be very streetable with a properly sized turbo for your application and a good boost controller. the boost controller will help build boost down low, making it very streetable.
i've owned turbo cars for a while before i moved to the states, and i havent had one problem... just dont get boost happy, upgrade your fuel system properly, and change your oil religiously, and you'll be just fine.
