buy a civic or a rex so you can get replacement engines from years all they way up to 2000. i had an accord with the a20a2 and hated it even after i put a new engine in it. some pics of me changing out www.biggmike.net

I'll keep my lude, I like it more then Civics. I've actually got some options on this car.

Plus I've already had an EG and I don't wanna have the same car as everyone else.

Re:89 Prelude HMT!
 

then get a ek hatch like me. they are pretty rare i only see one like every two weeks or more.

Re:89 Prelude HMT!
 

I see civics everyday....egs...efs...eks...eps...all of them look the bloody same to me and don't do a damn thing for me.
I like my lude....it's got all the power options that no hatchback has (minus the new Si but that a minivan). Plus it's a little more orginal.

3rd gen ludes are one of a kind...owners are proud of them even though they dont have N/A potential. But who gives a rats ass about N/A. We all agree boost is better. The b20a5 actually can be built to be one badass motor. I know because ive built many and done turbo swaps for people. I helped one guy here local build his motor with aftermarket rods/pistons and he had it sleeved with some mild cams that roared to 7k rpms. He ended up around 380whp. I forgot how much boost it was running but it was insane. 60 trim is gonna spool up late and reach full boost even later...you will like it only because u would be boosted. but you wont like how it fully spools up around 4k rpms...not much a band there from 4k to 6500.

Re:89 Prelude HMT!
 

power options = weight
but i guess you dont care cause those ludes are heavy.

Re:89 Prelude HMT!
 

My EG was a DX, gutted interior...etc.

I honestly grew out of that stage of having a car like that for a daily driver. If I could afford 2 cars then I would have a problem with one of them being gutted.

Louie: again, thanks for the info man.
