PirateMcFred's "Calico" - 1995 Honda Prelude

Vehicle Photos

Description:

It's a beater but it's all mine. It's a daily driver custom gadget test platform.

It's got a few thousand track miles at the local track and I can get this heap to turn faster times on cheap autocross tires than people on softer compounds and AWD turbos. nice hardware is no excuse for inexperienced drivers.

I'm working on a new VTEC engine to replace the old 50,000 mile nonVTEC hybrid for the daily driver. After 50K miles the other engine's getting a little tired. I might even make an effort to repaint it a nice light gunmetal silver.

Lol, and someone rated my garage as one-star. Probably some Civic ricer. Haha :D
