I just took mine for a small spin around the block. Its perky! So far yours is going a lot cleaner than mine, as I just kinda "tossed it together". I do have a clean Teg chassis chillin by the shop though...I still want to try a twin engine setup, and itll be a lot easier with a straight chassis, stock front end

Im subsribed, Im sure youll have some questions that I can probably answer!

I really DROVE it for the first time last night. Its INSANE! Digs in, turns, no body roll, etc. The shifter is VERY crisp. A lot better than stock, Im not sure how that happened. I need to tack the stock cables to my "extensions", because they broke loose, and I couldnt get into 1st, 3rd, or 5th unless I babied it. The linkage was "buckling", not allowing it to push into gear. Throttle cable is my next biggest hurdle...

****in sick car!

rochesterricer · 09-12-2004, 06:50 PM

Well, for one, I know the geeks at Sport Compact Car magazine would be interested by this. Contact them quickly, they may want to follow the build.

Modified Motors · 09-12-2004, 07:47 PM

I would try to contact all of the import magazines, maybe they will do a feature on the build and that might attract some sponsers for you.

USDMforLife · 09-13-2004, 12:47 AM

why didn't you leave the shock towers on the frame of the Prelude when you cut off the front end? Wouldn't that have made it easier to maintain the suspension geometry instead of trying to re-piece it together?

96MidoriHatch · 09-13-2004, 12:57 AM

wow to much time and patience for me but thats awesome!

how long are you thinking this will take total?

enigma94 · 09-13-2004, 02:33 AM

Why not mess w/tubing? I thought it was easier than trying to weld peices of old sheet metal together. Will you be caging this later on?

heres a vid of the Sol...motor has to come back out, h22 block back in over next weekend(hopefully).

Now all you need is some road course and drag strip vids.

Project looks great.

Q's:
ABS.. will the largeer rear calipers and the older abs unit (3 channel?) cause any problems? Will the Prelude wheel sensors work?

Public viewing anytime soon?
I live over near the Speedway and would love to take a close look.

just posting to subscribe...

I love these MR projects.

if you do end up doing these to sell I think you'll have a few customers. Especially if they're street legal and you have some kind of warranty, etc..

can't wait to see more progress.

I like your "keep it simple" approach.

How are you planning on reinforcing the chassis or at least tying the prelude framerails to the Integra chassis without a type of cage?
