Hi all. I am Greg (Drag) from Bloomington, Indiana. I am 72 yrs. old and just got interested in modifying my 1999 Prelude (H22A4) 2 yrs ago.
I originally bought the car for my son in 2006. I found it in Atlanta and it had only 42K on the odometer. We drove it back to Indiana and had a blast doing so. The Prelude is much more of a sports car than I realized.
two years ago my son was trading the Prelude on a motorcycle. The red paint had oxydized and it had two large dents (hood and rear) on it. He asked me to drive it to the dealership to trade it in. On the way there I I was reminded of just how fun this car is to drive. Long story short I paid my son what they were giving him for it and drove it home. At this point my son had done the following mods: cold air intake, racing exhaust header, elimination of the cat converter (oops illegal), anti sway bar under the rear differential, stiffening bars connecting the strut towers front and back.
So far here is what I have done or had done to it:
had body fixed and repainted by a local car restoration shop called Twice as Nice owned by Dan Smith, the painter. He did a beautiful job!,
I put Yonaka coil over struts on it (I highly recommend Yonaka) and lowered the car 2 5/8", Put custom wheels and new tires on it, custom headlights and custom tail lights.
My next step is to increase the horsepower. That is why I joined this forum.
If anyone runs a H22A4 and has done mods I would really appreciate hearing about them.
BTW the Prelude now has 105K on it and runs really well.
Thats all Folks,
Drag
