Hi! My name is Alex. I am deaf, but really I am hard of hearing meaning I can talk and hearing well. I am not profoundly deaf, but still called deaf due my hearing loss. I am 25. I currently live at Orlando, FL. I have been in the honda game since early 2005. Been to illegal street racing, been to track courses, raced for bet, anything like that you name it, but never been to jailtime, lol. Just some stupid tickets. 4th Gen Prelude is my dream car since I graduated from high school 2004. Ive been a member of many forums such as tamparacing.com, alldeaf.com, flaccords.com, ej1squad.com, orlandoforums.com, honda-tech.com, and hondasociety.com. Lol, sorry for many fourms but that because Ive had different honda cars in my past time before I got my civic/prelude. CB7 coupe w. h22 swap, eg ferios, and more but they arent my favorite. Nothing trilled me about them. Only just civic and mostly for prelude. Hope you enjoy reading the pics!





vvvvv Had it for 5 years and recently sold few months ago to buy a prelude. Bought it in Jan of 2006 and sold in April of 2011. I sure will miss this coupe vvvvvv



in 2007, when i had my civic, ive been wanting to get a prelude because its my dream car so i got 96' Prelude Si for cheap due the h23 motor is dead, but wrong time because i didnt had funds to repair the engine and had civic to take care of so i had to force myself to sell prelude again.vvvvvv



After had my civic for 5 years, I decided to sell my civic to buy a prelude because Ive been wanting a prelude for long time so I sold my civic and bought this 92' Prelude Si.... hey, i know its bumblebee prelude, but hey i got it really good deal that i couldn't pass! Here are the pics the day I bought it. vvvvvvvv


vvvv got Enkei 92's very good deal, but damn nasty offset making me feel like a mexican so I flipped and sold twice than what I paid for and it is getting ready for PAINT!!!!!!!!!! no more bumblebee for me because I can't stand it!!! Also got a set of jdm one piece stanley headlight vvvvv


vvvv BOOM! flat semi black paint job with ton of parts installed after the paint job. vvvvvv

Small update



Just bought


1)After market header off eBay.
2) 2"x50ft DEi exhaust black wrap with ties and silcone coat spray
3)JDM prelude visors
4) real mugen cover for the master cylinder
5)oem bumper bra with prelude logo on it (I have one and will have the second one lol)



I am STILL thinking, but I might cut the prelude logo off the bumper bra and put it on my hood bra. Of course, I will have it done by a professional. I don't know if anyone would be interested to buying a oem bumper bra with no logo on it?



For the prelude visors, I got it for really good deal, but to be honest, I am not really thrilled having this. What I really like is the design look of what Weather-Tech Offer. So, I am still thinking to sell it, but not sure.


Thats all for now!
 
#103 ·




I decided to sell them because I already have the bumper bra and decided to go for weather-tech visors instead, so check the FS section. Im asking cheap prices for it!
 
#104 ·
The header, DEi exhaust wrap, steel ties, and silicone cat spray just got here.



Plan to paint black winkle and silver lettering on the valve cover. I will post before and after pics in a while. I am in process to keep the engine bay cleaner.


Oh yeah, I am in the market for some aftermarket wheels for my lude. Aggressive rims are a must! Ofc, I will post pics when I get it.
 
#105 ·
done wrapped exhaust wrap on my header.


Need to research how to do right by paint black wrinkle paint with silver lettering for the valve cover.

Just found out the radiator is leaking. I have to look for new plastic radiator or maybe aluminum radiator.


Still thinking to keep or sell prelude visors.

Ordered a set of aggressive low offset rims. It'll be here on the 24th.


Need to get fender rolled ASAP.


I need to order jdm password jdm Headlight jumper harness to use high beam seriously!


Just added two dome smd board led lights on my center dome light. Very bright!!! Thanks to Andrew!

Trying to get everything ready before the big prelude meet at Tampa on Feb 4th.

That's all for now. Good night!

:-(??? My lude is now on the new wheels. It scared the fk out of me because its a mean machine the way it looks.


EDIT: Oh yea, I am selling a set of rsx wheels. Check it up at FS section!
 
#111 · (Edited)


^^^ Done exhaust wrap (not easy) and silicone coat spray. Just got BNIB extended o2 wires and o2 sensor.

Will install it sometime this month.





^^^ Done fender rolled and pulled for my 16x8 +20 offset wheels.

Ive found a VIS carbon fiber hood with vent style in mint condition for cheap, but I don't know if I should go for it since its vent style (ricer?)


If I go for carbon fiber hood, then I might sell my completely 92-96 prelude full oem mask bra.
 
#114 ·
I didn't buy it because it turn out in poor condition.




20 pieces BLOX forged lug nuts will arrive today. I hope they fit my new wheels, lol.
 
#115 ·
Thank god I got the jdm prelude visors installed with real original clips! I don't want hack job or ghetto, so I went to honda dealership with my jdm visors to find all different kind of clips that will work with the jdm visors and my lude, so I found the set that came off newer accord that are the same as prelude clips. If you have jdm prelude visors with no clips included, go to honda dealership and request a set of 03-08 accord door visors clips. I got it for free (thanks to my boy mike at honda dealership) but it is only cost from $8 to $10 depending on your area.

Wow at first I was not sure it was you or not until I seen the trailer and that you lived in Florida I'm the one that had the red and black prelude in deltona and you bought the PS pump and I bought the door handle trim

BLOX forged lug nuts do not fit due my wheels sockets are too small!:mad::mad: so Im going to send it back for refund or selling locally. I researched and came up nothing, but thank god one of luders that own a third gen lude rolling the same wheels that I have with the forged lug nuts. I PMed him to ask what brand and where, so now I just ordered it last night. Its drag forged lug nuts under drag company that make wheels. It is the only one that will fit my wheels. its neochrome, tho, but Ill see how it look. If it doesn't look right, then Ill powder coat or paint it to be fully red.




Also my factory radiator decide to give me the ****, so it give me a good reason to buy full aluminum radiator... hooary!


Trying to get everything ready before the prelude meet at tampa.
 
#120 ·
Like everyone said F22 and H23 aftermarket header are interchangeable, but they are not! I did sweatly and hell work exhaust wrapped the header and yet it doesn't fit my f22! I am so pissed off!

Heres a picture of some hating vvvvv





Here are before and after pics of the engine bay.

Horrible engine bay pic before I do big engine bay clean up. (SMH to the previous owner)vvvvvvv BEFORE:




AFTER: vvvvvv




JDM Type S intake, Neuspeed strut bar, mugen cover, battery relocation, black wrinkle VC w. full new VC gasket kit, full aluminum radiator, OBX black racing hoses, PS deleted, and pressure washed clean engine bay.

I know the factory header.... SMH for me. I had a DEi exhaust wrapped aftermarket header ready to install, but found out it won't fit my engine. My engine is JDM F22B and the header fit F22A/H23A. The reason why I thought the header will fit is because almost 100% percent that USDM F22A/USDM F22B2(non vtec version from 94-97 accord dx & lx) / and JDM F22B (sohc version) are INTERCHANGEABLE, but the only thing that is not interchangeable is header, and the rest are interchangeable. SMH.

I know I should have post pics with new wheels but I prefer wait. After the prelude meet. Of course I will borrow my dads expensive camera and take pics at the prelude meet then post it up in this site.

I'm still alive lol.



1) My lude is now lowered. Skunk2 coilovers on KYB agx shocks (its alright, but hey got this set for cheap. Would love GC/KONI or full coilover kits tho. Maybe one day)
2)traded my neuspeed strut bar for legit spoon strut bar
3)spoon resvervior covers (trying to spoon'd out my engine bay meaning spoon radiator cap, ,spoon oil cap, rear spoon strut bar and etc. Nothing to mod the engine. Just for the look)
4)EDM rear fog with its switch and wiring
5) JDM switches panels
6)MINT JDM amber foglights (current looking for bezels and switches)
7)Got a JUN LIP replica. I like its design better and aggressive look than old ass mugen lip.
8) The oem wing is removed to light the weight and look better without it. IMO.


I will take pics as soon as the EDM fog, JDM fog, and new lip installed.


Oh... one more thing... Since I have to renew my yellow sticker because my bday last month, so I decided to get me a custom fla tag. It'll be "MADLUDE" The custom tag will be here within two months.
 
#131 ·
Hey I am sorry for no update for long time. Here are the pics of my current lude. Its dropped with new wheels. Installed Megan MVO exhaust, edm rear fog, jdm fog, and JUN lip replica.







JDM folding mirrors with its relay, switch, and wiring are on the way to me. (Thanks Matt! :bigthumb:)



Oh, I just installed nasty sound system in my lude.

DUAL flip out radio unit (I know... I will find the pioneer 7" touchscreen eventually), 2 of 6 1/2 pioneer speakers 300 watts on front, 2 of 6/9 Pioneer speakers 400 watts each, SSL 600 watts/2 channels amp (for the rear 6/9 pioneer speakers *loud as fk!), single 1,200 watts 12' Kicker L5 in the original kicker box with 1,200 watts/1 channel SSL amp. It beat the **** out of me, seriously y0!


That's all for now! Thanks!
