Just another "hey, what should I do next?" Thread... - Honda Prelude Forum

Preyluder · 03-01-2004, 07:56 PM

I've fixed my hesitation problem, fixed my oil leak (new oil pan gasket) and narrowing down my shock knock problem (I know it wasn't the upper suspension pieces, I replaced all of them and the "clunk" is definitely still there.), so I've almost got my baby back to "new" almost. My drivers side weather stripping is torn to hell due to some jackass trying to brake into my car with what looked like a hanger and a phuckin screwdriver. Bastard. That's it maintenance wise that I need to fix, everything else is dandy. Sooo....

I already have exhaust (although I want a new setup in the future), and I got my windows BEAUTIFULLY tinted last week. Other than that, she's still stock. Today I ordered the Intake (AEM CAI of course) and it should be here Wed. or Thurs. After that, I'm really stumped as to what I want to do. I already have the sound system that I am willing to have (subs weigh down the car; I've got a Clarion HU, Infinity References' in the rear and Sony Xplods in the front, although one of them is about to blow). It's either going to be a Header, Camgears and Pullies (along with a few other little things like new pedals, shift knob/boot, etc.) or I'm gonna spend about 700 bucks on suspension but there enlies a couple problems. #1, I'd really like to stay with the sleeper look for a while anyway. Do some work to the engine (maybe even go nitrous before lowering), THEN lower, get rims, etc. #2 Honestly, I just can't wait anymore for my car to have some more gumption so to speak.

What are some things that you guys would be wanting to buy if you were me?

Rims(even though what u said), Tein suspension... maybe turbo? All depends on how much money u wanna save up.

haha... There's a pink prelude around here. I have really nothing as far as "performance" mods, but I think I'm going to do the suspension next. I guess it's all up to which order you want to do things.

you still have the H23 right?

If so, I would make sure that your T belt is taken care of and do the susp. Because at least if you decide to go with a H22 then the susp is out of the way.

I would save up for the Tein HA setup and then get headers for the H23 if you still have it. And then if you still want to stay with the H23 you will need to know weather to go with FI or a build up for NA--both pretty expensive to do right.
