My 94 RHD Prelude - Honda Prelude Forum

rushr · 04-12-2009, 03:11 PM

Well, I moved to Italy last October. That's where the military decided it needed me, not that I'm complaining...lol I didn't bring my Tiburon since my wife's car was more feasible. I finally was able to get my Tib sold in February and in April I bought a 1994 RHD Prelude. It needs a bit of work to it as the previous owner cut corners quite a bit, but fortunately I enjoy working on cars so as I get time things are going to change....as much as I'm able anyway. I'll post updates as they are done.

Current mods that I know of...

H22A swap
One piece Headlights
Some ****ty c/f wannabe taillights (are going to be replaced or niteshaded)
Rear lip molded into bumper (Not sure which lip it was)
Hacked up stock hood
Shortram intake
Megan Header
Megan Exhaust
MSD Blaster coil, dizzy, and wires
DC Sports Rear Lower Tie Bar
Drilled/Slotted Rotors
17" Gold Kyowa KR595's
Kenwood Touchscreen Double Din DVD
Kenwood Speakers all around

Waiting to be put on/on order:
NR-G Engine Damper
Tanabe Sustec Front Underbrace
6000K HIDs -

On the list to buy/do:

Replace hood
Two tone interior accents (Can't decide on a color though, either white, red, or blue)
Front lip and sideskirts (Undecided which ones yet)
New wheels/tires (Coming soon)
Resonator to quiet down the exhaust a little
Clean up engine bay and repaint valve cover
Install my kicker solobarics/amps
Tint

And some old pics of the Tib

Looks good, however, what is that thing on the hood??

Yes, the engine and exterior condition and black headlights are a win but the hood, tail lights and wheels need to go. The rear bumper is one I've never seen before but with the right front lip and sides it might work out good.

I wish I knew...lol The guy that originally brought it here modified the stock hood. All the braces are cut underneath which causes it to flex in the middle...

Yeah I agree on the hood, tails, and wheels. Not sure how soon i'll be able to make any of it happen though...lol The tails I'll probably just niteshade. I like the way that looks. I'm not sure what I want to do with the rest yet though, just depends on what I have available to me over here in Italy.

sigh, 5 speaker surround sound......ahhhh to live

madcatz · 04-13-2009, 02:29 AM

oh and for your Blaster coil....PLEASE CHANGE OUT THE SPEAKER WIRE as your source and ground wires

Yeah, that's definitely on my list of things to do. I couldn't believe that when i saw it.

Photoshop of what the car may look like soon. Undecided at the moment. Kyowa KR595's, dropped, tinted windows, and shaded tails.

prepreludesh · 08-16-2009, 04:05 PM

Regardless of some of the car's "unique" downfalls, I think you have a diamond in the rough right there and should seriously consider how to ship that puppy home!

rushr · 08-16-2009, 04:20 PM

Yeah, we'll see how it goes. I have another 2-3 years here, but at the moment I'd like to get it back. I wouldn't imagine a lot of things would need to be done to it other than the glass and maybe crash bar or something....

TheJGB-2KTypeSH · 08-16-2009, 11:11 PM

It will run you ~$3,000 to get it shipped back to the US.

rushr · 08-17-2009, 12:01 AM

That's about what I was thinking. I assume the stuff that needs changed can't be done before hand either from what I've heard?

rushr · 08-28-2009, 06:15 AM

New items on order...Gold Kyowa KR595s w/tires, Tein S. Tech springs, and tint all around (5% in back and 20% on front sides). New shortram intake has been installed now also.

rushr · 09-13-2009, 04:13 PM

Updated pics with the new wheels....I'm still waiting for my Teins to come in...as soon as the do it will be dropped. I would also like to add spacers to push them out more, but I'll wait for the drop first. I also need to find someone to put on my tint, or I guess maybe I'll have to do it myself. Fortunately it is supposed to already be precut.

Looking good

rushr · 09-14-2009, 01:30 AM

Thanks man, there are more updates to come. Hopefully tint and a drop in the next few weeks.

rushr · 10-11-2009, 05:04 PM

Updated pics from today....I still haven't been able to get the springs on yet...:3_nooo:

Anyway, here are some pics...

Richarddd · 02-17-2010, 02:47 PM
