90 prelude

hey, i am looking at this 90 2door auto 2.0 dohc prelude. It has 111,000 miles and he just had it repainted and new breaks rims and lots more. The car needs a new master cylender, muffler needs welded, and the water pump is leaking just a gasket but i will replace it. He is asking $995 for it. Is this a good deal? here is what it looks like. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=190147005&dealer_id=56984790&car_year=1990&model=PRE&bkms=1136081308672&lang=en&isp=y&start_year=1981&certified=&search_type=both&distance=50&make=HONDA&min_price=1&sponsorModel=&address=62236&advanced=&end_year=2006&max_price=3000&cardist=8 What do you think?

Thats a good price. As for HP your looking around 130 at the fly wheel.

Yea people make turbos, they are pieced together. Unless you have ALOT of money the B20 is hard to get alot of HP out of. You can add a header, cams exhaust, CAI and what ever you want, Just need alot of $$ Check out www.preludepower.com

they don't make shit for this body style, this sucks.

What are you looking for? They do make front lips, rear lips, and side skirts. We even have a list of OTHER stuff from other cars that with little or NO modification will fit our car.

We may not have "EURO" light or what ever you want. But we know how to make CLEAR tail light, we also know how to make our tail lights all red. It may sound easy as spray painting but not us 3rd geners, we make it so it lasts and does not look like SH!T!!

A 3rd gen is very unique, the owner must also be. With as little as a 5mm spacer we can put Acura NSX calipers on our car. We have people in Canada who custom make front and rear STB's. We have a gentleman in New England who will custom port and polish a intake, bore out a TB and include a TB spacer for under $400. He does this with the back up of a powerdyn run from his car.

This car has alot that can be done to it, but you will need money and ALOT of time.

Just don't look on-line at the auto-zone/advance auto/ napa web sites because you will not find anything.

DO research on www.preludepower.com and you can find everything i'm talking about including ALOT MORE!!

Here is a quote from a mod on the website above. basically sums up what i said just in a more comapct way.

This quote below is from "heyfrench".

"The fact is that the 3rd gen Prelude is obscure enough to be overlooked by the big manufacturers of those kinds of products. There is NO exception. The 3rd gen prelude market just isn't big enough to convince any/many manufacturers to cater to us. There are select individuals who have taken it upon themselves to fill in some of the product voids"

Right on! I wanna know why I can only get reverse indiglos in auto style. Stupid I know but I had them in an 88 accord LXI but my lude gets burned.

There is more of a market for accords, plain and simple.

I am doing almost all performance stuff, i can't find a cam on that site. i want like cam headders, cold air intake" i know i can get that, any ecu chips. If you know of any other sites or any other place for this stuff let me know plz, thanx.

i/h/e and cams will do something but not much to that motor...and euros are ugly and ricey so dont even think about that i know it is an opinion but im trying to save you the ricer title...

DUDE!! You can get a header out of JC Whitney for our engine, and a pretty good one at that. And if your lucky enough to find a DC sport header new or used you are going to pay anywhere from $300-$600.

As for the cams, you have to do an interchange from another engine, I believe that teggy cams will fit our engine not sure what years??

For the chiped ECU you have to MAKE one. not sure how you do that because i'm not into that. Lots of people have that on that website.

Believe me everythng that you are talking about/wanting is on www.preludepower.com

When you go to the site, click on 3rd gen and the second link down (sticky) is what you are looking for. Also the 3rd link is a great little deal on how to search on that site.

They even tell you how to do the H22 swap, but you better have around $6000 just laying around.
