Tough decision..need some help - Honda Prelude Forum

XtremeLude · 11-08-2004, 09:03 AM

i have around $6000 to spend right now and i dont know what to do. i used to have a 1993 honda prelude vtec and i want another one. now im not sure if i should just wait and look around for a VTEC, or if i should just break down and get a Si and swap in a JDM H22. need your opinions. i know some of u might say, its my decision, and i know that. i just wanna know what you guys would do if u were in my situation. thanks

I'd do like a 1994 Si 4WS and do a JDM swap.

I'm with Charlie.

yeah im with charlie too...you get the 4ws option and the cool interior change plus a h22 motor...what else more can you ask for....!!

XtremeLude · 11-08-2004, 11:26 AM

thats what i was thinking about. im not sure about the 4ws though. i liked the 93 i had, but i like the interior of the 94 a lot more. the only thing i would miss, is the sub in the back. i know its not a great one, but i loved having it in there. maybe ill just swap it in.

yeah the rear 6x9 sub compartment will be an easy piece to put in....just the ring and the cover

4ws vtec is awesome =)

and well, so is the newer interior, so i put that in too!

4ws Vtec does own...

TruNinja619 · 11-08-2004, 03:05 PM

imo....

i'd get a 94 Si.... 4ws... and swap a JDM H22 in there....

i wouldn't want to find a USDM VTEC prelude b/c most (if not all) have high miles on the motors....

UWNTSUM · 11-08-2004, 07:25 PM

I'd get a 94/95 si so u get the nice gauge cluster, center console and other lil things here and there. If the milage was low enough, id boost it. Drop a turbo kit on that h23 and u'll be smoking JDM H22 swaps all day for about the same amount of $. But depends if u want to go the FI route.

i don't know what all of u are talking about...clearly, he needs the Honda Prelude S...the God of all Preludes!

^^ I'm inclined to agree with that. Find a low or high mileage S with a good body for cheap, buy the JDM H22 w/LSD and you have a fast prelude which puts power to the ground and also didn't cost you as much as an Si might. Of course if you can find an affordable 4WS, or a 4WS at all, I can definitely see the appeal in that. For the record, I own an Si, and I wish I would've just gone south and found a nice body high mileage S. I could've spent half of what i paid for my Si and immediately have done a swap, whereas now I'm waiting for the day I'll have enough saved to swap.

Hey guys how hard is it to install 4WS in a lude that doesn't have it? I have a 1993 VTEC and I think that would rule if I had 4 wheel steering! Thanks
