What do you HATE about your Prelude?
First, let everyone know what year you have.. Then let it out!

1994 S - The fvcking 4-lug wheels! Why didn't they just make them all 5 lugs?! The ugly-ass hubcaps! The damn backseat and glovebox! And the rattling from the subs! Arghh! The parts and labor can get expensive, also.

The engine's really not bad for a four cylinder. Can smoke them Civic's.. I'll get a H22A sooner or later (later). But I've never driven a H22A, so I've not much to compare it to.

Just had to rant!

What about your F22? I have a set of Si 7 spoke wheels for sale if you want to pay out the butt for shipping.

The thing I hate about my car? NO CUPHOLDER!

no cupholder, and all the rattling and squeaking

I'm gonna take the dash off and put it back together someday this summer, I'll try to fix that rattling problem a bit

oh and that little space you can fit a cup between the seats when you have the big lockable console between the 2 rear seats is NOT a cupholder... have you ever seen a coffee fly from there to your floormat? that's not fun to see...

Nothing! I'd have to agree with Brady! BIRD's **** on my paint, other that that.... just the fact it's not in Gran Turismo 3.

3) cops like to look at her
4) NO CUPHOLDERS!!!! AHHHH!!! it kills me
5) i cant stop looking at her, she is so gorgeous

I don't own a Prelude anymore, but the ones that I had (all 94 Vtecs) I really hated the way that they would chew up some damn rotors. Those rotors are way undersized for the heft of the car. And I hate the fact that the car doesn't telescoping steering. That would be great for guys like me with long arms.

Anything that I don't like is because of things I did...rattling from lowering, taking driveways at angles, just annoying things that are completely my fault.

I am not a big fan of revving 3xxx RPM in 5th doing 80-ish on the highway. I get a drone sometimes too, oh well, i guess thats the price you pay. Cant really complain, its a good car.

A drone? Could be your wheel bearings if the noise increases with speed.

1994 VTEC:
- the rear shock knock!
- window rattles when you close the door
- stock rims are ugly
- people get stuck when they sit in the back seat
