DaInFaMMuS1 · 04-27-2009, 12:42 PM

wow, imagine getting walked on by that thing. It would leave the most perturbed looks on people's faces hahaha.

Hawkze_2.3 · 04-27-2009, 02:02 PM

Wow, incredible! Shake your friend's hand for me

h23prelude · 04-27-2009, 02:42 PM

WOW, clean, fast, and a sleeper. what an amazing job, probably one of the best prelude builds i've seen in a long while!!

Apex1972 · 04-27-2009, 03:17 PM

very nice!!!!!

rossfashow · 04-27-2009, 05:19 PM

mattsnooz · 04-27-2009, 05:35 PM

Its actually a 2gen and from what I have been told they are a few hundred pounds lighter then the 3rd.I think they are right around the same as a 92-95 civic hatch or possibly lighter.

maxx1983 · 04-27-2009, 05:51 PM

Hey guys - this is my car - thanks still_slow for posting it up here

This is a 2nd Gen Prelude (1983-87) it was a 1.8 Carbed car originally and the curb weight is 2268 lbs (about the same as an 88-91 civic hatch i believe

A 3rd Gen Prelude (1988-91) looks similar in shape but is in fact a completely different chassis and the cars share no parts - it is also heavier at approx 2700 lbs

still_slow · 04-27-2009, 05:54 PM

There you go he knows way more about these then I do lol

Remiss · 04-27-2009, 06:00 PM

jamie from Dforce did a nice job with this one

...he put 4 motors in my lude so he knows whats up...btw nice car i pretty much watch the whole build from the ground up

maxx1983 · 04-27-2009, 06:02 PM

yeah jamie is a rockstar - he couldnt have done a better job

I stand corrected.
Wow, thats really really light. That car must go like a mothafu*ka even with only a pretty much stock h22 motor with a tune.

Nice car man! Any future aspirations with it?

maxx1983 · 04-27-2009, 06:46 PM

not really- just drive it and enjoy it on nice days - i wasnt trying to build a racecar or the fastest car on the street or anything, just a clean reliable sleeper - and yes it moves really well

rash · 04-27-2009, 07:22 PM

Very nice!

This is the first 2nd gen h22 swap I've seen. I personally have a 3rd gen with an h22, and I thought THAT was cool lol. Keep up the good work mang.

And I bet it's still in the 2200-2300 range with an H22. Those A18/20's are heavy

Silencer RPMs · 04-27-2009, 11:39 PM

props for a nice lude

BlackCatt · 04-27-2009, 11:59 PM

maxx1983: f#@king beautiful prelude man. I had a 84 2nd gen and seeing yours
makes me miss it. Must pull hard with the h22. Looks great.
still_slow: thanks for posting it up.

Acidcrakker · 04-28-2009, 05:48 AM

h22ed6 · 04-28-2009, 06:23 AM
