@@bap7929 Adjusted for inflation, in 2022 a brand new Prelude would run you north of $50k with taxes and financing and we're talking base model. Just like the Toyota Celica, both these cars were priced too high for what the direct competition was offering dollar for dollar.
'00 SH is my daily. On release it was ~$40k CAD. Definitely not cheap.
@@bap7929Not everyone lives in the US. Preludes were sold internationally LoL
I've had my 4th gen prelude for almost 20 years. It was my daily for 15 years straight. It's currently at 425k+ miles...not bad for a 92 with the sohc. I changed the trans last year bc it finally went out, I put the lsd t2t4 in it. I'll be doing the engine swap as I give it another go for wheels, paint, suspension and interior work. And I'm finally doing the sunroof conversion. Better late than never.

What trans did you have before, and what do you like best about your new t2t4?
@@endlesstwisties you're absolutely right. I was going to change it when I first bought the car, but one of the master techs I worked with at Honda told me to never take it out until I absolutely have to...here I am 18 years later still going.

The last 4 minutes was basically the video. He gave a history lesson.
The Prelude community is so dope. A community of amazing, chill, and humble people that are always willing to go out of their way to help out another person. By far the best owners community I’ve been apart of. Dope car, dope builds, dope ass people. 👌💯
Its cuz were all slow but still love the absolute shit out of driving a prelude.
Fr
Are the automatic ones as bad as he says?
@@alexisinsunza8120 depends what model, the sh model tranny is i think the worst and thats what he is probably talking about, but the base models are much better than what he says but are still not the best, i have 170xxxkms on my tranny and it still works like a charm.
💯 I love the Prelude community. And I love my 5th Gen!
As a prelude owner, I'd say the most important thing in the gen 4 is look for rust on the inside of the rear wheel well, they tend to rot because of condensation
My grannie has owned a 2.2 VTEC 97 prelude for 20+ years and I love it so much and love riding in it
You make sure you get it and keep it. They’re such a BLAST. I love my BB6
@@JAlexanderYugioh yeah she told me that she'll let me drive it one day at my under 17s driving club
“ a car that will never let you down” unless it’s auto in that case be prepared to swap the trans 2-3 times

My 90 never had any trans or motor trouble
Yep, 5th gen autos suck. I’m on my third trans. The engines not so great either. Over heats and burns oil bad.
Hahha 5th gen owners are trash
Or put in the money of putting a manual in it
Love my BB6. Handles like it's on rails. Turns heads everywhere because people just don't know what they are these days lol. Best sounding Vtec kick out of the 6 Hondas I've owned. It's also going up in value 👍
No badges makes it more fun haha I miss driving my white prelude I felt so good driving it.
Sure is! 🤑I paid 6700 for an extremely clean specimen with 130k on the body and 61K on the motor. (Some old lady started the original motor in a flooded parking lot in 02’ and blew the motor - and a 40K mile H22 from an 01 prelude was swapped in. It’s only been driven 20K since then)
And I’d do it again today.
Bought mine for 700, and threw in 250 for the owner to handle the spark plugs and oil. I plan to pick it up on the 30th
My first car was a manual 5th gen Prelude, such a great and reliable car and very fuel efficient!
thats awesome to hear. just grabbed one for 3kCAD and its mint. cant wait to start working on it and doing some much needed maintenance, maybe a new fresh paint job
Left out how we top off oil more than gas 😂 haha
Haha, yea that's a big one the h series. That's why you gotta sleeve it.
Lmaoo Fr bro
James D what do u mean sleeve it
James D or maybe just redo the rings? Walls kill rings overtime lil cheaper lol
@@Undefeated.ZX10 sleeves for the cylinder walls. They make them for most any motor. The h22 I believe had FRM liners , it's a material they used on some Honda motors. Nsx included. It's not like your traditional crosshatch pattern they do on the cylinder walls. By them being FRM liners, over time they wear and get alot of "blow by". But it's ok that's why we keep em "topped off".✌🏽

Honda prelude 5th gen was my first car, still have it and it’s my favorite car ever, was my dream car since i was 11 and i finally got to buy it at 15 yrs old and seeing that y’all finally made this video made me so happy
Ive owned almost 40 vehicles in the last 11 years, and my 93 SI I picked up 3 months ago is in my top 3. Again, parts are cheap and easy to find(because its a honda) but its comfortable enough for long trips, and quick and grippy enough to have a ton of fun in the corners, even completely stock.
Ryan Goff absolutely stock is plenty fun
4WS steering rear actuator parts are not easy too find? My BA4 has been a nightmare for parts.4WS was rare in the states?

When all the kids were rocking their civics and eclipses back in 01 i had a 99 prelude SH. These jokes forgot to mention it had the most aggressive VTEC on any honda. @5500 rpm it sounded like it was going to eat your face off and shit out a civic.

Got a ‘93 prelude about a year ago. Such a beauty of a car. Great performance, fun to drive, manual!! 🥵
When you're a Honda guy but you also want to be a little bit different (i.e: not buying a Civic), Prelude is the answer. I love and respect the 'lude, but I wouldn't buy one because the S2000 and Integra would be higher on my bucket list. Still, great video, love this series. I don't usually make suggestions as hundreds of other comments do it, but... 'So You Want A Volvo C30'. Very, very close to buying one
Agreed although the s2000 is out of reach for some people these days. I'm a civic guy myself.
@@justryan5697 Ah, I hear that. There's a few decently priced S2000's in the UK, but the super-clean, face-lift models are a little out of reach. They'll always be a 90's Civic available for next to nothing with mod support for days 👍 the Prelude could be considered a mid-range between the Civic and S2K for people like us
Prelude, for the more mature Honda guy, but also Vtec bwaaahhhh!!
@@chevtothemax loool I hear that too 😂 I think if I was to do a Prelude build, it would be clean enough to eat off. With a Civic, I'd be too tempted to hollow it out, drop a K20 in it, and generally make more drastic mods. Same brand, but I'd end up treating them with a completely different mentality, so I hear you about the 'lude being a bit more mature
Buttt RSX type S is where it’s at boysss
Idek what to ask for anymore. Do a “so you want a decepticon” I guess
Jay all hail Megatron
Why did this made me laugh lol
So u want a *cough cough* KIA STINGER.
My 5th gen prelude is a decepticon
Had a 5th gen for a bit more than 2 years. It was indeed a great car to drive and own. It's one of those car designs that age really well.
Lovely hybrid of cultural commentary, automotive history, personal narrative, and *buyer's guide*. Beautifully done, man. Sincerity, spontaneity, and passion come through without obscuring the tips and stats.
I love my Prelude. They are also sorta high maintenance, I've put about 4-5k into the car to make sure if doesn't leak anything. That also included a transmission rebuild cause going into first and second was tough. But now that it's ok it's a Honda, she'll never let you down. It's a shame that they stopped production cause I'd love to see a 6th gen prelude. But if they don't I'll be happy with my 1997
Three years later and now theres a 6th gen but its electric lol
I love the fact that it’s never a history lesson.. after the history lesson lol
Who said I went. Honda happy with my car thanks but no thank
So true
My 2000 Prelude was my first car, and I intend on keeping her in my life for as long as possible! The preludes really are amazing cars and I hope this video gets people excited about them! It makes me wish that mine wasn’t parked for the winter, too busy enjoying my JDM Legacy BH5 aha

I've had 5 4th gens in my life, and by far they're my favorite car I've ever owned. The first time I ever swapped an engine was my first one. I took a h23 from a gfs wrecked car and made a franken-build engine to replace my base f22. Had both cars side by side in my buddies 2 car garage, and did the whole swap with a jack, hoist, and only hand tools. The only thing I couldn't do meself was get it timed, but after an hour at the local import shop down the road it was complete! My last one had 4ws swap, and a JDM h22a bored and built, cheaply I might add. That monster would peak near 9 grand before red lining. It was a beast of a Honda. I drive a MazdaSpeed6 now, but I think of my 'Ludes every day
Fun fact! The Honda s500 600 and 800 models were discontinued following the release of the first gen prelude. The s2000 was released following the last gen prelude. Also some generations of prelude have the F20B motor while the s2000 have the F20C
My first car was a red 1989 Honda Prelude Si (non-4WS) and while it was an automatic, 134 bhp never felt faster. ❤️
We had a white ‘91 4WS....absolutely adored her, drive a 2000 V-tech currently. She needs some new paint, a good refresh inside and out, but I love her too.
I had a 2000 prelude and I love it. That car was fun and smooth

Listening while driving my 4th gen. Comments really do pay off
My 2001, bought new for it's looks, and is still beautiful today...
Good video! Took out my 1996 VTEC out of a 10 year storage. The car was store for more than 15 years in total. Obviously the muffler was finished with rust so I got the Apexi N1 installed with the Active Silencer. Sounds amazingly good and gets thumbs up everywhere I go.

Very true I got 2 lol
i swear to god, everytime i here that intro music and the beat finally drops as it goes into clips of the car.... it brings satisfaction to my soul
Saw this video before I got my prelude and now watching it after I got the car and I love it. Wound up getting a bb2 and did an h22a1 swap and a stage 3 clutch got thrown in there n I love this car very much
Yes yes yes its about time, im a big honda fan and love civics integras and accords but the 4th gen prelude always has had a hold of my heart in a way the others never have, i have mine for 12 years and still love it.
After commenting on many episodes, my wish has come true. The Prelude has been honored. Thank you Alex for all you have done. 'hpmhh' YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAH No for real this means a lot, thanks guys. A lot of teenagers that are new to the car scene armed with stacks of daddies money always question the Prelude. Put them assholes back into their place where they belong!
The front wheel drive that looks like a rear wheel drive
Ae86 - Rwd that looks like fwd
Aznderek just convert the front and rear lights to a r34 and you get a honda skyline
and if you have the Type SH, handles similar to one as well
Just repainted my bb6 98 sh prelude electron blue. These cars really hold up when it comes to looks.
I’ve owned a 4th gen and I currently own a 5th gen prelude, and I love them. Great cars and have wonderful style.
My very first own car is a prelude 5th gen and I absolutely love it! Very reliable, looking hot (especially slammed) and enough power to have fun. Modifying it is easy and is a great start into tuning. Also, the automatic trans is good if it works, but rather manual lol

The car wizard just picked up this 01 prelude in mint condition. I was so pumped then he crushed my soul by announcing its auto
I'm middle aged now, got married but never had kids and never let go of my stockish 97 SH. Been daily driving it for almost 20 yrs and while the paint is faded and she's not fast by today's standards, she's still fun in the corners and puts a smile on my face. Except for the leaky trunk, oil burning, and rickety shocks, she's been reliable and running on almost all factory original parts (beyond consumables). Even the AC still blows cold with the original compressor and freon.
The Prelude means everything to me , i grew up driving my dad's 1989 2.0SI 4WS , i still love it to this day ;) and it is pretty much the reason i love Japanese cars and man those pop up headlights :)
The Honda Prelude is awesome.
Ahhh yes the video i didn't know i needed, everyone loves a good prelude. So you want to restore a classic car please im begging.

I own a 2007 Wrangler and 97 Prelude. It's in awesome condition. 5 speed manual. All original. Tan / black interior . Reliable as heck and super duper fun to drive. Putting it on the market in April :)
I love my manual transmission red 5th gen 99 Honda Prelude. I bought it about 2 years ago with about 165k miles on it. It has 170k miles on it right now. Almost completely stock, only thing I've done is change the interior & license plate lights to LEDs. Swapped out the stock radio to a almost button-less clean looking Pioneer touch screen unit while snaking a discreet microphone for Bluetooth calls behind the dash, cluster/A pillar, ceiling, and added the SH trim stock spoiler. I want to replace the oxidized headlights with the same stock ones & put in white HIDs and paint the side & back skirts to make it look like the SH trim and be done with the car. If I could splurge, I'd paint the whole thing black. It'll look just like the SH without all the problems the 4-wheel steering had. When I purchased the car, yes I had to replace the timing belt, it was split in half long ways. Yes, the paint fades. I can tell that whoever had it before did a cheap paint job due to clear coat fading on a fender, the roof, side view mirrors, door handles, & trunk, and everywhere else looking good, but chipping away, meaning a recent, but cheap paint job. Oh, and those H22A engines burn oil quite a bit, and I changed out all the gaskets and seals. Last thing to warn everyone; with the manual transmissions, the synchro gears have known issues and will grind at high RPMs. Mine does it between going from any gear at a high RPM to 5th gear. Still love the car. Apparently its a known defect that I've seen on forums happen to with only 20k miles on it so its best just to live with it.
the silver wheel second to the left on the bottom is fire 🔥🔥

@@SMD-si7fm that's the 3rd gen, those are so cool!
I Love your guys' channel. I have a 4th gen Prelude Si Automatic. I immediately switched the transmission fluid to Amsoil Signature Series when I got the car at 84k miles and it totally started driving like new. Put 28k miles on the fluid then just changed it at 112k miles. It runs even better than the first time I changed it! I think the problem is that most people don't pay attention to transmission maintenance. Punching the gas in an automatic is definitely considered by the manufacturer to be "Heavy Duty" use. There is a "Heavy Duty maintenance schedule" for almost every vehicle. The mileage intervals for service for "heavy duty use" are super short. About 1/3 of the miles between fluid changes. If people would change their fluid every 10k miles there wouldn't be any issues at all.
Owned one for 3 years - manual VTEC engine that was dropped with a hotdog exhaust - Haven't found anything like that since. Amazing car.
