nice, what motor do you have in your prelude and what are your mods? do you have any kind of suspension done to your lude also?

looks like you had a rough day at the track lol, is all good, but I bet you had fun, and thanks for posting the clip.

Last weekends track action. Not the smoothest of driving by me on that day. It was really hot (sweating in my helmet) and I got a bit too eager to drive fast.

Some pics on the day (Iphone 4 HDR):

In the next month or two im fitting Accord Type-R (you lot know it by Euro-R) cams, and getting it tuned with my crome P28 ECU.

Man that car goes great with those rims, clean as hell anyways!

Awesome driving man, at least you're getting out there and doing it! Wish I could.

Don't buy the HAMP oil filters, they are the lower quality ones that Honda sells, the standard blue ones are much better. Nice to see a 4g on the track, I'm gonna start driving mine on one very soon here once I get this expensive paint and rust repair project out of the way.

The flow of the Hamp filters are meant to be superior to the OEM filters at the cost of reduced filtration. Filtration is not a concern of mine as my oil is changed every 2K miles or so due to the car being for the track only.

A well known Honda oil filter comparison:
NTPOG Oil Filter Review

Anyway, I have used them for 3 years without a problem.

Site is outdated on Honda filters, I know at least for the US that filter is no longer used and an improved one has been out for some time. From my source though (Japanese Honda owner) the HAMP filter is a cheaper alternative when you go to the dealer in Japan, why they sell them on the net for so much I'll never know, probably from the mis conception that they are supposed to be better.

What's up with the rear being so high? Looks like a Neon. =p

merlinbadman · 04-18-2011, 07:28 AM

What is the new imporved filter?

The back is sittng high as its not got lowering springs on the back

The "improved" Honda filters are made by FRAM, and there are better filters available for the same price.
