Hi there, this is my first post. Was recommended this forum by a mate and I'm glad he did! It so full of cool stuff that makes me want to hurt my credit card! Thought I'd throw up one of my motors - a 1990 Honda prelude 2.0 16v with fully working 4 wheel steer and a genuine 66 k on the clock! And with the all important pop up lights! Bought by accident after a drunk discussion with my mate John Peden (Pedenconceptz Porsche 964) and an eBay search, this was found. And I didn't even mean to buy it! One of those ones you think will never go that cheap.... But it did! Came with 11 months MoT and few months tax as well! So I drove it for abit as standard until tax ran up and then parked it up on a sorn.

That wasn't supposed to have posted up yet! Anyway back to it. A few things got in the way (namely a new bathroom and getting my gf pregnant!) so decided to finally build it. So here it is now - Sitting on genuine borbet A wheels, 7.5x16 and 9x16 with hydraulic suspension! I'm very happy with it!

YES, YES and thrice YES!!
This is almost identical to mine, but mine was a lowly EX, I loved mine but I adore yours.
Have you got any pictures of the juice install?

Thanks! Yeah they are cool motors. Just love driving it. I have no pics but will get some up. It's all in the spare wheel well so dosent intrude in the boot space - means I can (just) fit the pram in!

I think the only thing I'd change is to paint the wheels a more subtle colour, the stance and overall look of the car is headturning enough, looks fantastic.

For a modern car that is damn fine! I like the ridiculousness of the wheel colours and I love the 4WS shot.

Thanks for the comments guys. It is a really clean car, had the usual rotten bits at back of sills/front of rear arch but now that's all sweet.
It's standard inside bar an alpine head unit, upgraded Honda leather wheel and suspension switches! Engine wise just power coated rocker cover (gloss black) and middler silencer delete. Oh and a "baby on board" sign! î•

that rocks! seems to be a fair few retro hondas around at the mo. always fancied slamming a horrible honda concerto just for lols does the rear wheel steer get more movement at the different ride heights? i don't remember my mates having anywhere near that much lock on the back?

''I've got a grey prelude, the one with pop up lights'' Nice! ''I'm going to stick it on its belly'' ''Awesome!'' ''I've got some staggered Borbets to go on it'' ''Hell yes!!'' ''I'm going to paint them bright yellow'' ''Hell noooooo!!''
If you'd described your car to me thats how it would of gone but by gum, it works, and it works dam well too

The 4ws gets abit movement, think because of the angle of the hub due to the nice camber! But it doesn't mess it up any! Plus can just drive it at normal ride height (well not really but I could!)
As for wheels- they were also a mistake! John was using them for sizing for the arch work (these were his own wheels) and they were that colour. I seen them on it and just liked it! So wrong but so right! î• plus in the purchase price I got a colour change if I want/need it. But so far so good! Plus matches the baby on board sign!

Looks pretty amazing & beautiful, low + wheels ads a lot of drama. Must admit I'd like to see your wheels outer rims polished/painted silver (yellow ctr) to exaggerate their offset 'dish' & match the classy image of the Preludes svelte body sitting that low... But I still haven't had the courage/time/boredom/insanity to paint the centres on my similarly grey CR-X's wheels orange yet.. (& don't think mother would like the idea{she drives it most}).

Love it! The 4WS gives you the win in the crazy camber game too!
