LOL. My god... I mean sunroof visor! Jeez!!! Hell, I want 5th gen glass sunroof!!!!!! I want one, but not right now because it is the last thing on my list due everyone on CL or even junkyard want 100 or more for it. I am just not looking to spend that much for a glass. I am very patient and I know I can find one for cheap by someone part out 5th gen prelude cheap off craigslist needing the $ quick. The same along for the 5 lug setup off the 5th gen base model prelude. Explain that I got a set of one piece jdm stanley headlight for cheap again off craigslist for 50 buck.

EDIT: I know sometime rare parts cannot be cheap and have to pay hard to play. For me, its all about patient and I handled well with the parts I have.

Ofc, it will be big different if I had a damn job.

damn, nice deal on the JDM one piecers!!!

Got rid of the loudest fart can exhaust! Just got new long resonator, new 2 1/4 inch pipping, and stock 30 buck basic exhaust for awhile. It is quiet and ride smooth! The basic exhaust will be stay till I find me some apex-i ws2 or greddy ws2 or something like that in the line.

EDIT: Now I am looking for keys/locks for my rack and is in the market for the thule old school fairing.

Here are the pics the day I went to the muffler shop to get rid of the fart can exhaust, replace pipping, new resonator, and put tempoary exhaust in till I find some apex-i ws2, greddy ws2, or anything like that in the line. Now my lude is quiet!

Forgive me for the messed up accord rear line lip between side accord rear lips. I cut the line by mistake (side accord lips are perfect, just accord rear line lip in middle) I am looking for another one and cut right to fit right.

As you know I got the mont blanc rack and I told everyone that it is not for bike rack because I don't use a bike all the time. I use the rack to haul something that doesnt fit trunk and thats why I added the basket on top of rack. I got a old school thule (555) fairing. I installed black carbon fiber cover the fairing and put an EXACT (font, size, etc) mont blanc logo on the fairing. It came out great! Here are the pics.

Whew done everything, but still thinking to do sticker bomb the **** out of my fairing, should I? Give me your opinions. thanks!

I decide to sell the rims because its just ugly so I got a set of steelies with good tires to roll for awhile till I find some legit or nice rims. Here are the pics of the day I took the rims out, put steelies in, and put the rims on my rack. Thats another reason why I have this rack because I dont want rims/tires inside my lude due dirty so two on top of rack and two inside the trunk.

nice progression. car looks great in its current trim

mikksteel · 08-15-2011, 11:34 AM

Wow, you really turned this car around. Great work.

deaflude · 08-20-2011, 08:02 PM

****ing ****! I almost buy a set of 15' sprint hart cp-r in 4x114.3 lug pattern for only 600 buck without tires! Someone posted it up on 8:53pm tonight and I texted at 9:09pm said I have cash ready and will come to him right now, but he texted me back said sorry someone is on the way to pick it up. I was like **** **** **** **** ****!!!!

i have the f20b in my car and i dont think i'd go back to h22 but that's just me being different. the powerbands are different as well, h22 of course torquey down low, not so much at higher rpms, the f20b lacks the torquey feeling, but after vtec pulls pretty hard, i even have the auto version. i haven't been a fan of the h22 so this is pretty biased but, i wanted top end power for my dd and i still get close to 32 mpg, but that's because i have a longer transmission. there are multiple guys that have dynoed sir-t f20bs at ~180whp and 142 lbs/ft, so the claim that it's lacking torque is not true it's just in VTEC. also an interesting is that it was the precursor to the k-series motors. so really once you get it, let it breathe better and it will be pleasurable.

What kind of the long transmission you have?

Tein springs and camber kit just came in.

UPDATE!

Sorry for slow update!

I am in the process to go 5 lugs! Just ordered a set of BNIB 5 lugs rear hubs and rear brembo drilled slotted rotors! The parts are on the way as I type. I current looking for front 5 lug setup (spindles, 5 lugs hubs, 97-01 prelude calipers or 92-96 VTEC calipers, and front brembo drilled slotted rotors)

The chrome door handles

and the mint passenger side door trim just got here!

Yes, ****ing oem full mask bra for 92-96 prelude! It is on the way to me as I type!

My car is now dropped with Tein Springs! Much better than oem springs!

Once My prelude is rocking 5 lugs, plan to rock RSX Type-S rims or 97-01 prelude base rims.

thats all for now! thank you for looking!

Sure, will do!

BB4rank · 10-06-2011, 09:50 PM

cool update. ive actually seen the full nose mask sell for $30 shipped a few months ago and i hated myself for not getting it earlier. I saw that guy selling that nose mask. Im glad it went to a good owner.

deaflude · 10-07-2011, 12:48 AM

I think the seller of bra backed out and sent me a refund which I don't know why. I'll find out in the am.

S-LudeDan · 10-07-2011, 04:41 PM

^ probably got a much better deal and wanted to make more money. I think it's BS when people do that, a deal is a deal wtf.

How much did you pay for the nose mask?

At first, I thought about that but nope... the reason why he sent me a refund back is because he couldnt find the full mask bra due he trying to sell it for awhile (overpriced, lol) He think his mom misplaced it somewhere. He will text me back once He find it which I am waiting. I cant say the price because someone will outbid me, you know?

S-LudeDan · 10-08-2011, 01:47 AM

^ maybe his mom is wearing it. Who knows, some females like leather black bras.

deaflude · 10-08-2011, 10:00 AM

LMAO! Look like I am not getting it because he said his mom might misplaced it to trash or it might be stolen. Fawk!
