Not quite tbh, I had just picked up my nephew from school, had washed it the day previous and at that point it wasn't raining, it did however shortly afterwards and hasn't stopped for days now!!!! I hate the bleedin weather!! :lol::lol::lol: The pics look better than reality, she has some rust...

Certainly looks different. Nice to see you're not doing the norm and OE ing it!! Let me know if you need anything from my 1983 XJ-S, had a real look through mine and she's totally rotten through so i'm breaking it at the moment.

Finally got my finger out and got some pics, in between rain!!:blink::bigsmile: By pbi, shot with KODAK EASYSHARE M753 ZOOM DIGITAL CAMERA at 2009-09-02 By pbi, shot with KODAK EASYSHARE M753 ZOOM DIGITAL CAMERA at 2009-09-02 Absolutely standard bar the wheels but probably not for much...

I'm definately cracking up for sure!!:embarrest::embarrest::confused::confused: I asked this question already + it was answered by Prevtec!! Time to double the dosage me thinks!!:D:D I need a holiday!!

Yep, friday night was the no go time at the Dorchester. Tbh I didn't know there was a downstairs part of the club. I used to get dragged to that place on a Thursday night by a couple of Spanish friends of mine. It was murder trying to get a Taxi from there at chucking out time!! I started...

Not then thank god!! ;):D:D But it was definately the sort of place you wiped your feet on the way out though!!:blink1:

I have a 1995 2.0i Prelude and want to uprate the brakes as best I can without spending huge amounts on big brake kits. Is there any other calipers and discs I can use from the Honda parts bin to uprate mine?

Cheers for the advice. In between heavy downpours and changing oil, plugs and a rear light I had a good look underneath whilst the front was jacked up. Bushes all look very good surprisingly but I did notice that there is about a finger thickness space between the inner sidewall of the tyre...

Hi mate from another new member too!!:cool:

Oh, I do agree. A properly built S,Steel system is an absolute must for performance gains. If you want to flow more air in you must get the gases out equally as quick to reap any real gains. Mind you, even in a particularly well tuned road car you really don't need any bigger bore than 3 inch...

Cheers for the replies guys, So 17's are really the limit!!:amazed: That surprises me tbh, mines already sporting 16's. I've been reliably informed by another Honda-nut that they are type R rims. They look quite good so I may just tidy them up a bit. The Caliper advice is also very good...

Yep mate, good old fashioned "Blacksmith engineering" at its finest!! You know exactly what I mean mate!!;):lol: Steering was vague at best, and steering input was more of a general request to turn in any given direction. The good old days of 4x4's!!:);) I love the old Willy's too, I have a...

The last name, Irish Kev seems to ring a bell! It REALLY is a small world isn't it?? If he was then i'd have been on double Black Bushes. That's mainly what i drank back then. We used the Varsity as a meeting place mainly. Long time ago though, over 12 years ago. I was actually in the Dudley...

That's a damned hard one to answer. As above, so many are distinctive for different reasons. Most beautiful British Classic, has to be a toss between the obvious, a series one E-Type and a Mk V Jaguar Saloon, gorgeous machines. Most beautiful European, again a toss between the 250 Testarossa...

Dinky toys guys!! :lol::lol::lol: Proper Offroaders are Land Rovers mate!! Can't beat them, in fact if you're a real glutton for punishment and lack of power it has to be the leafsprung ones with a archaic 50's designed 4 pot. Manual steering, now power and all the suspension sophistication of...

It's getting the time tbh. I was seriously considering breaking her up. Lots of bodywork to be done. Mind you it would be a shame, she has a complete set of S'Steel exhausts, custom built 2 1/4" silencers and silencer substitue pipes. Mind you the bodywork on the 1978 Daimler Sovereign 4.2 is...

Cheers for the welcome again. I'm liking the place already, very friendly bunch. Loz: It's a small world, went to Uni in your neck of the woods. The Varsity was generally a good starting point to a night out and I did like both the Feline and Firkin and the Fermenter and Firkin. I can just about...

Definately inspiration you've given me. Maybe time to dust off the old MIG welder and start a bit of body repair to my old V12 HE.;)

Hi to one and all, albeit a little belated. I went onto the Honda forum and said my hello's there:embarrest: DOH!! Well, my name is Tony, i'm 33 and line in Northern Ireland. My main interest are cars, cars and erm, cars:toung: I especially like classic cars although I have just bought and...

They're a fine looking pair, definately got the classic look. Shame you still haven't got them, they'd be ripe for a bit of retro classic erotica:blink1:;):D

Yeah, quite unusual over here especially. Mine has straight through S'Steel twin exhausts and is raucous to say the least. Not particulary subtle. She's had a load of work and as usual awaiting a load more, as time + funds allow. I always did like them, ever since my Dad bought one many moons...

Cheers. Will find out in daylight and get back on here. Need to know what people reckon is the best brake set up too? Can you use later Prelude calipers or bigger disc from other models like you can with Mondeos?

Yep, I know exactly what you mean. Before the Prelude I drove and still have a 1978 Reliant Scimitar GTE and a 1969 much modified Land Rover Airportable. Always loved the attention I got. I had to drive a 4x4 Mondeo 2.0 for a bit. Don't get me wrong it was quite a capable car and a bit of a...

Thanks again to you guys too. ANd yes the flippy up ones (hard to keep up with all this technical jargon!! LOL) do look the part too. A little more classic than modern though.

The tyres are 205x50x16's. They seem to be Honda originals, no idea what ET.:embarrest:

Please excuse what to some of you will sound very dumb questions! But please, humour me ..... What are the biggest width wheels front and rear that will fit in the OE arches? I know the diameter should be as close as possible to OE to keep the ratios correct on the FWD. By my reckoning it...

Cheers guys for the very warm welcome!! :blink1::bigsmile::cool:

I don't doubt you for a second, I just wanted to know why so i could learn a little. Good piece of knowledge to have and one less thing to spend money on then!! :lol::lol:

Cheers mate:blink1::)

Thanks, yep, sorry for going a little off topic.:embarrest: It's the mind, it has a tendency to wander at times!! :lol::lol: Cheers, i'd appreciate that mate but for now what I may do is fix the few wee bits up and sell her on then and then buy a Vtec, that makes a little sense. If you could...

That sounds pretty well straight forward. Time to save up a little cash then:blink1: Prevtec, you're not that far away from me I believe, i'm up at Ardglass, County Down, up North. Great motor, already seen the pics.;)

I'm definately not alone in that then!! :lol::lol::lol: I had a sneaky suspicion VTEC would be the way to go, just need two things: Someone else to blame for me spending my money! And of course advice on the more difficult things, that mass of electrics.

I'm VERY new to Honda ownership. I've just bought a 1995 Prelude 2.0i. Yep, the poor man's Prelude!:lol: But the main attractions are: I bought it for £500, did nothing to it and it past the MoT first time. A definate testimony to reliability + build quality. You can actually get at the vast...

I reckon the 4th Gen' Prelude is one of the best looking Honda's about, especially when it's been tastefully modified 'apres JDM. That and I have always loved the CRX, not the modern one! I know it's very boxy, it looks as if it was modelled on Kryten's head from Red Dwarf but it has a certain...

So, let me get this right......... The V-Tec controller isn't really for road car spec? Am I right to assume that it's only really good for cars that are basically set up for track which will have their revs increased beyong the factory norm? Or did I just miss the point completely??:lol:

As you may have seen from another thread I bought a 1995 Prelude 2.0i for £500 and it passed the MoT first time which i'm exstatic about quite frankly!! It is not the VTEC model that the rest of you seem to have, it is therefore the poor man's spec!! :lol::lol: My question is though...

I really like the front + sideskirts! If you are going for the real street race look then IMO you can't go wrong with that. But a kit like that will only be as good as the performance of the car, to do it any justice you'll have to spend loads on tuning + suspension too. But hey, at least you...

Hi Guys, I'm very new to the forum. I'm Tony, from Northern Ireland. I have had a variety of cars to date mainly classics, the Prelude Mk 4 being the latest. At the moment I have a 1978 Scimitar SE6A, 1969 Land Rover Airportable and of course the prelude. A further testimony to how good these...
