Hello from me and my type S - Honda Prelude Forum

Kremit · 02-06-2009, 04:27 PM

Hi all,

Ive not been on preludeonline much before, to be honest i cant beleive i havent. had a look around and impressed at some amazing pieces of work!

I have owned a prelude 2.0i for around a year, and jus recently bought a type S. Here are some pics of the old and the new.

Glad to have joined u!

Old car when i bought it. . .

and my old car when i had finished with it!. .

out of curiosity, how does cost compare between a 2.0i vs vti vs type s?

well i havent had a vti, but to go from 2.0i to type S is an incredible difference. because of the power in the type s the car feels really light and effortless, whereas the 2.0 felt a bit heavy sometimes, and ofcourse the rev range is higher.

got to say for a 2.0 it was fantastic fun. recommend any 5th gen to anyone! Type S is definetly the jackpot, but if like me your money couldnt stretch to it then 2.0. The type s surprises me on acceleration everytime i put my foot down!

ur wheels on the type s are backwards lol, nice cars

TwizT · 02-07-2009, 03:49 PM

Nice car. I'm curious, what motor is in the 2.0 model?

gioe · 02-07-2009, 04:01 PM

I didn't realize that the type S's don't come with sunroofs. Interesting.

Also, the difference in rear fog lights.

Welcome to the board. Where are you from?

liquidxnitez · 02-07-2009, 05:09 PM

Dennis you are such a no0b!

To the OP - Are you sure its a Type S? SiRs came with the red interior. Type S didn't come with the red interior, they came with the leather/suede or leather/perforated leather interior.

minilogoguy18 · 02-07-2009, 08:35 PM

Well it's either a Type S or SiR S Spec cause Type S had no sunroof and I'm pretty sure the SiR S Spec didn't either but positive on the Type S. But I thought though that the Type S had different wheels but I could be wrong.

thepreludedude · 02-07-2009, 09:21 PM

Its an integrated rear fog lamp.

thepreludedude · 02-08-2009, 07:32 AM

i always thought those seatbelt holder thingys would be cool to have. been looking for those for years.
i like the tail lights but i like everything to be the same on both sides. wonder what type of bulb that uses?

to you to Vic.

BTW, I haven't forgotten about your query. Vancouver Honda has yet to reply to my email. So much for the good turn around I'm used to

I've just been real busy with work to give them a call to follow up. I'll try to do so this week.

jimbo24 · 02-08-2009, 03:05 PM

is that an oem spoiler on the type s? no, right?

Kremit · 02-09-2009, 11:01 AM

My Chassis says Sir but has type S badges on it - dont ask me.

You can get the Type s with red interior! It was an option black or red

Also can you post pics of the headliner of the inside of the car?? I always wanted to see what it looks like?
