Honda Prelude UK

k4mr411 · Posted: Mon Oct 26, 2009 1:38 pm Post subject: My 5G 'Heavy Honda' :D

Thought i'd start the oul Prelude Profile as its time to begin adding the mods! Very Happy

OK.. brought the car in summer, havnt done much to it but i do have plans for it!..

Its a:..

- 00 VTi (Manual)
- Crystal silver (i think)
- 17" alloys (dont know the make)
- Heated Seats
- Criuse Control
- 90.000 miles
- Private Plate

couldnt think of anything else.. Head went blank lol!

This is the way the car was wen purchased.. 1st day Razz

First thing that i did was got rid of the ugly standard number plate bracket and replaced it with JDM number plate titler along with a JDM style Plate! Very Happy

So Touched them up just so it doesnt look noticeable and added a Nurburgring Sticker to keep peoples eyes away from it! Very Happy

A friend brought the 'Shocker' sticker from ebay.. he got the two and one was left over so we decided to stick it on the rear window.. actually turned out well..

And thats pretty much it so far..

Future plans:

- AEM V2 Induction Kit (brought it about a 2 months ago.. still hasnt came it yet.. got lost in the post so the seller got me another so awaiting delivery)

- Front Lip (Purchased off EFFX.. awating respray)
- Rear Lip (In Progress of finding some)
- Sideskirts (In progress of finding some)
Need to get the Front Bumper and Rear Bumper re-sprayed so just waiting till i get the lips so i can get it done at once!

- Type-S Strut Brace (Purchased off EFFX.. ordered the top mounts £32 + VAT off honda Shocked

)
- Lowering Springs (obviously buying off ebay if there any good.. cant afford coilovers atm)
- skunk2 mega power exhaust catback
- Decat
- 4-2-1 Manifold
- rear upper strut brace
- rear lower strut brace
- standard rear lights ( Anyone willing to swap for the clear lights?.. i dont like clear lights!)

Thats about it so far but i'm sure ill get a few more ideas and ill keep ya's updated with the progress made!

I dont think you can get rear lower braces for the VTi due to the 4WS.

The ebay "Japspeed" manifolds are just SS copies of the stock manifold, they offer no performance increase, just a bit of engine bay bling (untill they rust).
