Prelude type-r

Hey all i am looking at purchasing a 93-94 (forgot to ask exact year) prelude type-R. The seller wants 5g's for it which sems reasonable because it comes with an exhaust and some other stuff. just wondering if you think this is a good deal. The cars has low miles and doesnt get used much.


also how reliable are these cars, i realize they are honda's but just wondering.


thanks for your time

Uhhh... I dont think Honda ever made a Prelude Type R....

well i haven't checked the vin yet but when i looked at it today it was a prelude type-R

There is no such thing as a Prelude Type R. There is a Prelude VTEC that was made from 92-96. It's probably a N/A Prelude with a Type R badge on the back. Don't be fooled. Even so, 5K isn't too bad a price. Call B.S. on the Type R crap and offer 4K, see what he/she says.

ok i will def look into it but how well do these car perform?

perhaps the car is newer than i thoguht i just found an article mentioning that the prelude in 1999+ was built to type r specs?

"In the later 1999+ Prelude's the power was raised to 200ps(197bhp from 185bhp). This was achieved by using camshafts of Type-S(JDM) or Type-R specification, with more lift and overlap, and pistons with a higher compression ratio(11:1)"

Found this info here http://www.tsys07804.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/my_prelude_vtec.htm

could someone check this out and let me know whats up?

type r spec or not, theres no such thing as a type r prelude, its just a ricer badge.

By Type-R spec, it means the stuff used on the Civic Type-R and Integra Type-R. There is NO Prelude Type-R. Find out exactly what year and trim level it is. Also, how many miles does it have, and exactly what aftermarket stuff is on it?

lol alright i will find out everything about it if i kept the badge on there think i would get flammed?

Probably :)

yah i probley would be flameing you

yeah count me in too :evillol:

ok i will remove the badge thanks for all your help


see ya around

take some pics if you get the car

yep hopefully i will get it soon test drove it everything seems real nice i found out that it was a 92 Si non vtec but its still good gonna try to knock him down to 4,000- 4,500

its got an oem exhaust alpine head with a 250 watt amp and a 12" sub so it will come with some goodies apparently it has new headers but i dont know much about that yet.

how many miles? good condition?
$4000 is very good

Also, they did make a type-r, it was called a Prelude Type SiR (220hp with ATTS/LSD), but its very rare and was only sold in Japan.

107,000 miles on it

i got a pic of the car its small on the webpage so if you want to see the full size just right click and save image http://www.geocities.com/synthesisskateboarding/car.html
