Fefelarue's 3rd gen Honda Prelude

[fefelarue]

Haha cheers for the comments folks

[Randomofodication]

Nice honda! It's in amazing shape for its age.

[philavon]

this build is going backwards of what i would expect. but its still cool. now stop spending your money on useless shit like subwoofers, red paint, cables, fart cans and all that stuff and buy some coilovers and some old school wheels already.

[Nagah]

A fine sound you have there kind sir.

[fefelarue]

Got a video of the zorst today

Thanks mate, yup that was me! I loved the saab wheels, I'll be after something similar with this, but with more dish and more wideness

Sounds good to me, I'll keep an eye out for updates!

Your Prelude is so clean, nice drop and wheels, then it'll be perfect!

ps I remember following your quicksilver thread on 106oc a while back when I owned one too. Am I right in saying it had saab wheels at one point? I liked that look

[stancefag]

I really like everything you did so far.

[fefelarue]

I feel bad posting on Stanceworks without any stance yet, but for anyone who's interested:

I've been painting the rocker cover

Here's the engine bay beforehand:


I took it off, and was happy to see that 25 years and 85000 miles has had no effect, it still looks brand new under there!


I scratched off any loose paint:


Then got the paint stripper on it:


All masked up and sanded ready to go:


Bought myself some paint:


A day and a half later:


Then I sanded back the logo for some nice shiny Honda goodness:


Meanwhile I gave the HT leads a bit of a sprucing up, before:


After:


Engine bay before:


Engine bay after:



Total cost: £10.45

Thanks for looking!

The cheapest I have found over here is $700.

Which ones are those matey?

That's a lot less than the cheapest here if i could ship them over..

[fefelarue]

I know, the cheapest available over here in england are £650, which is over $1000!

I've heard a couple of people running cut springs, but apparently the spring seats can separate too far in negative Gs or when jacking up, so it's really dangerous!

[Earl]

I have a 3g for my DD=)

I dig everything besides your exhaust. It will most likely look better when the car is closer to earth. I dislike that we don't have any cheap coilover options. I have been told that cut springs don't ride too horrible, and I have seen many super low just doing it.

[fefelarue]

Yeah i appreciate your opinion but I have an image in my head of what it will look like once finished and I promise once it's lowered the exhaust will look a lot better. Until then I can just enjoy the sound
