The transmission started to go out in the Prelude in 1992 (popped out of third all the time,) so I traded it in. Fast forward 18 years and I'm married (17 years now,) have two kids and a couple Odysseys.

And this:

I just bought it on eBay and got it home last weekend. It's a dead ringer
for my old car (except for the wheels, of course -- but I just located and bought a set of those, too!)

I got some new rubber mounted yesterday and couldn't wait for today. The weather didn't cooperate, but I did it anyway.

Would you sell the 82 lude instead?

Thanks! I've been DD'ing the car this week while my Integra is in the paint shop. It's funny how many horn honks and thumbs up I get driving it around.

Low_rider · 03-29-2010, 05:00 AM

wow thats clean. i wish the weather was good over in the uk to stop ours from rotting away. even in a garage they get attacked by the elements.

any more plans for the lude?

I really need to lower the poor thing -- she looks like an all-wheel-drive!

Other than that, a little much-needed maintenance is in order. The front end is a little clunky, so I'm hoping to replace the ball joints and bushings soon.

Drove my baby into work this morning with the windows down and the roof wide open.

Old Hondas rule.

And completely destroy an absolutely original car?

No thanks.

There are a few junkyard cars out there to butcher up for a "swap."

lol i dont know.. i cant remember if it was the 1st gen or 2nd gen but one of those 2 someone did the h22 swap and man did that thing look clean... well it was still the 70's 80's green haha

bb1vince · 04-14-2010, 04:54 PM

very clean first gen. my old house, a neighbor use to have it. thing look'd awesome! just too much red for me haha. How do you plan on lowering it? i don't think there are aftermarket suppliers are there? only other way I know is cut springs. But will the ride be the same? haha anyway nice ride you have.

EDIT* also my first time actually posting and taking a closer look at the 1st gen.

deja lude · 04-15-2010, 06:04 AM

The only way really is to cut or heat the springs. I'm trying locate another set of springs to cut so I can return the car to stock if need be later on. That's really the only option, except for a company in Australia that makes lowering springs -- but those are $500 a set with shipping!

Preludeprowler · 04-16-2010, 11:14 AM

Nice old prelude man...

JDM86lude · 04-17-2010, 06:30 PM

dude wow nice car man thats sweet lookin. but ur thinkn to much inside the box . there are many hondas that use the same springs as u. all u have to do is get something u think looks simlar to another buy cheap ass set on ebay and try it out. think outside the box.if they are long and narrow look for those if they short and fat look for those its simple man. trust me on this the only thing it can do if u get the worong springs is make it look jacked up

bboixtc · 04-18-2010, 12:49 AM

so bad ass

stlschindler · 07-27-2010, 10:19 PM

Saw a first gen on the road today and decided to come into the 1st gen section and check it out. Your car and story is great. Wheels look awesome and are period correct to the 80s which is what makes them so damn cool.

I am Navy too. What did you do?

I'm digging the Camaro as well. Don't sell it, you'll regret it forever. I'm really glad I came in the 1st gen section.

3gPreludetuner24 · 07-30-2010, 02:23 AM

lol...that thing is clean dude wow. Nice story too. As for lowering springs look around for some good matches, examine spring rates and all that. The love bug with that ivory interior. hahahahaah....i gotta admit it look tights. Ha! Soo 80's!

3gPreludetuner24 · 07-30-2010, 02:24 AM

Also that Camaro is fuken sex on wheels dude! Dont get rid of it!
