What would you get - Honda Prelude Forum

Randy0002 · 03-17-2002, 07:37 AM

I know the answer already, but what would you guys do here?
I actually got "permission" to get these things, let me know what you think.

PIAA Super Plasma bulbs (Probably buy off Ebay for $70)
+
Indiglo Gauges ($60.00)

Or

AEM Under Drive Pulleys: ($147 shipped)
http://www.importhorizon.com/aempulleys.html

What do you think?
The 1st two are the fiancee's favorite...probably b/c it will make my car "pretty".

Well the AEM pullies aren't going to do much unless you have a CAI and other stuff.

So I think you should get the AEM pullies and an AEM CAI, you'll be much happier with that buy.

Forget the gauges, and forget the Piaa bulbs, your stock headlights are better, the only thing that worth it is HID. And I can hook you with those.

I've got the AEM CAI already and I thought it was time for another mod. What can you get the HID kit for?? I've heard they're like $400.

Pullies will help you out even if you dont have any other mods. It will give you more low end power. They are very good investment. I belive someone on this board did a dyno with pullies and w/o pullies on a basically stock lude. I believe they gained around 6-7whp and 2-3lbs torque. Very good figures for 150 bucks.

Randy0002 · 03-17-2002, 08:46 AM

Ok, what if I added H & R Sport Springs to this equation. What would you guys think then? I plan on getting all of them, but I want to know what to get first. Thanks for your help.

you will only see that kind of increase in whp and torque when you have your ac and **** running, when you don't have all the stuff running, you will see no gain, only that the engine revs faster. Go to www.aempower.com and read about the pullies.
They are a good investment though.

If it doesn't make performance better wait till you run out of that stuff before you go and get cosmetic mods

Just my .02

buh_buh · 03-17-2002, 02:27 PM

is the HID kit only for Preludes? Or can it fit other cars too? Or other headlights I mean.

xxH22Axx · 03-17-2002, 02:51 PM

if im not mistaken i think HID is much more than 400 bucks man. If I were you, I'd go with the performance stuff first cuz I'm more of a fan of going fast than looking good (haha, you can tell by my huge list of mods: Injen short ram).

Also i think springs would be a very good investment. but if youre going to do it all, I guess id first go with something your fiancee thinks is pretty, then something for performance, then something pretty. Hehe, this way youre in the dog house for a shorter while...

Blue___Lude · 03-17-2002, 05:24 PM

I would go with the engine mods

I regret doing my interior cosmetic mods now because I'm short $700 or so because of it! It's sweet and all, but that could've been FI money! ARghh
