Hello all. As many of you might know already back in August 17, 2007 the life of my Prelude ended due to an aggressive truck driver on the NJ Turnpike. This thread is basically a timeline to document from the beginning to the end. I am not very good with words so I will let the pictures tell the story.
Back in 2003
2004 waiting for make over
And then the JDM and Mugen whoring started
The finished transformation
Then in 2006 I was featured on TeamElusive.com
By the end of 2006 decided to change it up a bit
And by April of 2007 it came true and my car was printed in HCI Magazine
The last couple shows I did in 2007
Finally this is what happens when a SEMI hits you on the highway!
I met you RIGHT before your swapped out your APEX (NOT APEX'i) springs for the showa's. =) YOU forgot one stage though....WHERE ARE THE ALTEZZAS?!?!?! =)
GOOD STUFF man....it will be MISSED. At least your prelude and mine can hang out in prelude heaven together
I gotta say that when I read that you had been involved in the crash I wanted to see how the car wound up. But after seeing all that I really wish I hadn't. You took what already was a really hot car and turned it into that beastly looking thing that typified why I think the Prelude is such a good looking car, with so much potential. Unfortunatly though it happens. Such a shame to waste that example though.
u can tell a lot of TLC went into that car. I personally know first hand that car was babied and he is a true prelude enthusiast. He'd drive it even on rainy weather to come to a prelude gathering.
Lovin' the new look before it was taken out =( That truck really did a number on ur car! Looks like the only good part was ur drivers door.
Hope to see ya at some shows/meets wit a new ride =D
wow your lude was sooooo nice, it made me want to get into the whole JDM/Mugen thing!!!!!! it just sucks on how much time and money spent on it! but at least you had alot of memorys, got in HCI mag!!!! whats ur next project?
A lot of times I see prelude in the magazines they're all riced out with lambos and neons. Your car represented the prelude community well too bad it got hit. Why couldn't the riced out preludes be the one to get hit
At first, I saw the driver side and told myself that it wasn't too bad.
But then I saw the passenger side.....eek
Sorry for your lost of a beautiful show car....BUT at least it was a driven show car and not a trailer queen. It died on the road like an honored solider in battle.
Have fun on your new project (whatever it may be) and please keep us updated.
