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...

I got this 2 12' Kicker L7s with a custom box really good deal for only $100, but suck is that the sub box's dimension won't fit because of my rear battery back up. &*()_!!!






I am thinking to flip it and buy me a brand new a single 15' Kicker L7. What do you think?

I dropped my hood bra off to the sewing business to do custom made exact font prelude logo on it.

I know custom made is not OEM, but the dude at sew business said it will be EXACT font logo. I would like the real one that is three piece meaning hood bra and the fender covers, but its SOOOOOOO hard to find like 92-96 prelude factory cover.

Heres the pixs of the real ones.




I will sell my custom made prelude logo on hood bra with its bumper bra and stuff IF I ever find actual oem prelude hood bra three piece with oem prelude logo on it.

Sold the 2 12' Kicker L7s last week and ordered the bigger sub few days ago...


Boom Oh yeah.... the brand new 15' Kicker L5 and the sub box arrived from FedEx..... Can't wait to install it.





Damn lucky... the sub box fit! whew.



This Monday, I will look for serious amp from pawn (Hopefully some serious kicker amp) and install it. Can't wait!

Sound system update:

I need room in my trunk so I did custom made by put the amp on the black wood and bolt it up with strong nuts and rubber to prevent amp being shake due subwoofer then put the subwoofer in front of the amp.







Now I have full sound system in my lude but only left is 6/9 speaker for my rear VTEC center speaker console. All kicker brands but not amp. Can't afford kicker amp lol.

Update:

Finally I upgraded to pioneer double din touchscreen from piece of **** dual single din head unit. Im so happy! Oh, I didn't get it cheap. I paid retail price, LOL. Here are the pics.





The sound is much better due to equalizer feature on the pioneer headunit.

BEFORE:




AFTER:







Got 'em for only $80. It could use upholstery. I will save them till I find the fund to do the leather replacement.




JDM coin pocket arrived.




Just bought a JDM prelude visor with the flip thing on top. FRIGGIN RARE! It is being shipping to me from Netherlands. Here the pics the OP posted.

yeah man, Like That 01 said, this thread is basically for viewing pleasure.

Keep posting your progress mate, don't sweat it. This is an informational thread, trust me you don't want this flooded with chat.

btw, That sunroof visor with flip is freakin awesome bro, wayy more rare than the USDM version.

Good news: The JDM prelude visor arrived.

Bad news: it got small damage due to shipping. Super plastic glue will do it. Ferdie, its not your fault. I understand due long international shipping always have its risks, but thanks for it! A big thump, Ferdie!








Dan, I will post the pics up as soon as my USDM sunroof visor get here so I can do compare with the pics. Thanks.

Now I have to think whats the best tire size for the rear wheels.

Update:

It will be a while before I get new tires for my new wheels because my Daily Driver wheels (Rota GT3s) are badly in need of new tires. Wobbles, bald, and some nails because of damn construction on dixie highway near my home. So I already placed the order for a set of new Falken 512s 205/45/16s for my GT3s. It will be a while before I can afford to get tires for my new wheels due I am jobless. I make $ by flip something. Falken 512s is well known best stretch tires. If I have the fund, I was going to order a set of Falken 512s 205/40/16s for my new wheels but unfortunately the series of Falken 512 tires are discontinued and very hard to find. I am ****ed. I don't know what tires to buy for my new wheels eventually. The Falken 512 205/45 tires I ordered for my GT3s are few left in stock. Once out of stock then no more for Falken 512s :frown:


To give you an idea why I love the falken 512s:


205/40/16 Falken 512s on the 16x7 wheels with good reasonable stretch. Imagine how it look on my new wheels. :smile:



205/45/16s falken 512s on the 16' rota slipstream which is the same spec as my GT3s with small stretch but look good.





Do you know what other brand that give good stretch in 205/40 series?

Nexen n3000/n7000s, Nitto Neo Gens, Kumho Ecstsa, and Riken Raptors are what I am not interested. Those look fat ass.
