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

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. :bigthumb:

****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.

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 :bigthumb: 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!

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?

Since the seller said he lost the bra for good (maybe he lied and rather to sell it for more?) but anyway on eBay, i typed "prelude bra" and just looking for fun, but somehow I just click "new listing" to see whats new because sometime private seller can put oem hood bra on ebay any min, hr, and anytime. Good enough, I was right and saw it just posted on eBay ready to do bidding and buy it now. The seller is only asked $39.00 as start bidding nor $75 buy it now with $15 shipping. I instantly messaged to the seller about more detail of the condition of it. He said VERY GOOD CONDITION. Not even a crack nor scratch. It was in a OEM black bag for years which is why it was wrinkle but would be good/straight if I use it often which I will and the pics showed is was first time put on seller's lude. After I got his message, then I immediately buy it now and got it in total of $90 which is good deal! I know I could do bidding, but once a bid then buy it now is gone and more chance that bidding cost can end up more than what seller asked and the sooner it end, the more people know about it to bid like you know how eBay work you know? So thats why I had to buy it now before someone bid. The guy (which I was going to buy) asking $170 shipped and his bra does show wear/age and theres other guy asking BNIB one for $300 without shipping cost which is just too much. Thank god I got it for just 90 shipped even it is in very good condition.

Heres the link. Just remember it is ended because SOLD BY ME! :bigthumb:

Here are the pics of my lude with the oem full mask bra. One thing is suck is that it is not cover my lip. I know I could go back to oem lip, but I don't want it because it doesnt look aggresive. I need something aggresive so mugen lip is the way to go (would like to go for spoon carbon fiber lip eventually)

The mask is so look damn new because I can smell leather and the white cloth in the back is so white! Damn for 90 buck? what a deal.






I just found out that there are two different kind of mask for 92-96 prelude.


1) prelude logo on hood bra with no prelude logo on bumper bra (thats what I want!)

2)no prelude logo on hood bra and prelude logo on bumper bra (thats what I have)

I will keep looking for the oem hood bra that have a prelude logo then resell mine.

Just got me a set of minty rsx wheels with good tires for just 80 buck which is good deal because they go for 250-300 all day, but damn nasty ass ******* monster tires 205/55/16 . Plan to buy a set of 215/40/16 nor 205/45/16 tires


S-LudeDan: Will take pics once my lude rocking 5 lug. Got 90% of everything, but all I need is front lower ball joints, front upper ball joints, front drilled/slotted rotors, and lowprofile tires!




EDIT: Anyone interested purchase the 205/55/16 tires?! lol.
 
#73 ·
Found a pair of matching falken ze-329 195/50/16 at 85% tread remaining for only 40 buck. Thanks to craiglist! Got the tires mounted/balanced on two of the rsx wheels. Now looking for two more 195/50/16 tires to replace nasty ass monster tires 205/55/16! I went to honda dealership and got a set of oem honda centercaps. I put wheel hubs, rotors, and lug nuts on two of the rsx wheels to see how it look. Just remember these wheels are spare wheels to ride on while I can rebuilt legit wheels. Probably never happen, but I would love to have a set of BBS RS/LM or maybe Sprint Hart CP-R.


Here are the pics

PS: The rims are really MINT, just dirty on it lol.
