$600 3rd Gen Prelude Ep. 1 - Is This Car Ever Going to Run?

[@romangarcia2207]

Man these preludes r something I bought my 3rd gen from a family that been passed down love the car soon trying to build it need little stuff n Maintenance I bought 2 of these car same color 88 and 89 keep making videos man

[@brandonwhitmire1904]

i see this is an older video but i just bought a 90 si prelude with a blown engine yesterday for $100, and just happened to come across the video while doing some research. this has me more excited for my project to come

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I'm so glad to hear that! Check my videos! About 30 of them are about the 3rd Gen Lude! Enjoy!

[@edwardthomas9273]

Love your builds and will be following you a lot. I had a 1988 Honda prelude that was lost in an accident vs uninsured motorist. Looking to get another one to get, along with Toyota Supra, Nissan skyline gtr and Mazda rx7. I’m a mechanic by trade and love to spend time in the garage on motorcycles and vehicles. Teaching my kid the tricks of the trade. Great video information.

[@joshuavillademoros8278]

Kudos on staying with the stock motor. I bought a second 4ws car just to fix the first one. I built mine when i was in high school.

[@numberpirate]

I grabbed those exact seats out of a 3rd gen. I ended up having to drill and reinforce a different hole but I put them in my 2nd gen 1993 integra. Loved the things.

[@ConsciousRobot]

I had a gently driven, garage kept third gen Prelude si (not 4WS, but still great) Had one elderly owner, less than 50k miles, still looked and ran like a brand new prelude, $400!! Catch was I had to replace a control arm. All I did was Paint trim all white to match the body, Integra Type R front lip and side skirts, 17" wheels (should've gone 16" but still looked great), intake and exhaust. Was going to lower it and do more performance mods but I eventually had to sell it. I REALLY miss that car. Not super powerful but super fun. They are gorgeous, solid, smooth running, well engineered machines. If I could afford ANY car in the world, I would find another mint third gen Prelude first. They are one of the best cars ever made imo... Then I would get an Audi R8 so I had something modern as well.

[@carlossullivan23]

Just inspired me to start back working on mine. I have a 89’

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Nice! #savetheludes

[@SoylentDreams]

Same just got my 89 a week ago

[@YANNASAHICREATION]

Very nice project 🙂 I have got a 3g to hello from France

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thank you! Please check out my other Prelude videos!

[@ElReySupr3me]

I just bought a 91 4ws prelude 2 days ago. My 2nd lude and I have been looking fo a 4ws for a long time in manual.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Nice!! Congrats!

[@ElReySupr3me]

Thank you, and thank you for such a great channel!

[@nightwishkid1]

I say low profile spoiler. I have always like the 3rd brake light on the spoiler also.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

nightwishkid1 Thanks for the feedback! I was hoping it would look like the NSX's spoiler. I still might do it to keep things interesting.

[@nsxt290]

I agree. The stock look always appealed to me. This prelude is clean. Hoping to look a CA or FL car.

[@4thgenlude397]

Definitely do that with the old trunk lid that would make it look super clean man

[@OMGWTFSILLYGOOSE]

My first car was an 88 Si a few years later I had an 89 Si, which I crashed. I will have another one, preferably with 4WS.

[@richardcastaneda9153]

Great video! ..Finally got my first 90 prelude Today after years!. passed down to me 😎👌👏👐

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Richard Castaneda Dude, that’s awesome! Congrats! Let me know if I can help in anyway.

[@richardcastaneda9153]

Extreme Daily Drivers sweet👐 thank you so much and for the reply as well I really do appreciate it. I been having my eyes on this car and been every now and then working on it and by surprise got it handed to me today after a few years. Can't wait for the work and headaches lol. Love the way your prelude came out ,and it sounds beast!!!.love it🚀🚘.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks Man. It's still under construction. I will hopefully have it fully functional this month. The holidays have really slowed me down (and cold weather), but there are big things coming!

[@richardcastaneda9153]

Extreme Daily Drivers . Nice!, can't wait for your next update!👌👏🔧🔩, your motor is super clean to!😮😲👀👏 been cleaning mine up all day long lol and feels good to finally own my first prelude! .thank you again. 👌😇

[@Ricky_H]

Nice vid. Lot of work put into it. That's what makes your car perfect!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Rick H Thanks Rick!

[@stonesthrow420]

Mad props brother! I have owned three 3rd gen Preludes and I regret selling my last one. It was a 91 that ran great and I only paid $800 for it in Austin Tx. This video has completely inspired me to buy another one and fix it up. Thanks for this amazing video and....wow ! What a pretty lady, love the wheel choice as well. Concerning the rear spoiler....I drive a 2002 BMW 330ci convertible as my daily...I had a friend change his 91 prelude trunk lid to look like the 330 by installing the third brake light as part of the trunk lip. It looked really clean. Just an idea

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks for watching and make sure you check out my latest Prelude videos to see how far the car has come!

[@XxAPartofMexX]

The same thing happened with my 90 Prelude. Hadn't ran in a while, and some of my family took a day to do a little bit of work to it. They got it running, and my brother wasn't thinking and took it for a drive and it ran hot. It then sat at our workshop for a few more years until I decided that I would prefer to have the Prelude over buying another car for myself. Took it to a mechanic and it was there for about 4 months while they waited for parts to rebuild the head. I've been driving it for a while now. A while back I had a little scare, was going to get some new tires and my engine ran hot. Thankfully I was able to turn it off before any damage was done. There was a leak on the heater hose, which was quickly fixed. My eyes are now always glancing at the temp just incase. Should probs carry some coolant and water around with me too now that I think of it.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

The Vicatorian Yeah, these Ludes are notorious for getting hot and overheating. That's why I'm rethinking my radiator fan setup.

[@numberpirate]

PS-Love this stuff, I have a 5th gen, my 2nd one, first had a 97 now have a 2000. You should look into rebuilding your trans with synchrotech carbon fiber synchros, new seals bearings, accord 5th gear and an LSD. You should rebuild yourself and document it. Might make sense to get a different trans so your car isn't down for too long. If you do end up doing it yourself I will help you as much as I can. I have rebuilt 4 of them so far.

[@numberpirate]

Also those will except the front brakes from the 95 Acura Legend GS dual pistons if you want a cheap cost brake upgrade.

[@robertclubberlang1988]

I just got a 1989 Prelude SI, now I'm a newbie to an engine rebuild man. Hoping you can point me the right direction on what exactly I will need.

[@gregseier7095]

Nice prelude, I have a 99 sh prelude black stock and clean. except for a flowtech warlock muffler turboflow type it gives nice sound little more over stock muffler and straight through plate which has three wing nuts. just saw your video for a friendly comment your air cleaner as a rule always from dirtbikes streetbikes vehicles in and out always try unrestrict air intake go over throttle body not inside it or with say a practical muffler 1/2 bigger then adapt down to connect with exhaust system, not fart can lol. The wing on prelude your rite they look nice without wing, I just can't do it to my car . Take care

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I love 5th Gen Preludes! Keep it stock! Thank you so much for watching! I don't know why I had the intake installed in the TB in this video. Obviously, the car wasn't running in this video and a lot of what was in the engine bay is just laying there, not hooked up. Please check out my other videos to see how far this car has come and where it's headed!

[@ePacksBagsLuggage]

Nice Car! I just bought one recently a 1989 👍

[@NoahDever]

Please do a detailed vid of removing the power steering and ac and cruise and stuff, no vids out there really for this car and I just got a 89 si

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Noah Dever Unfortunately I don’t have one. I did all of that before I started filming stuff.

[@CurbEnthusiasm]

Watching this right now while I look at $500 example of my own. Build time!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Make sure you check out this video to see how far it has come! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHSwkqmFYtWLg5I

[@CurbEnthusiasm]

@Extreme Daily Drivers someone already snagged it, oh no! Still going to check out this build though. Lord knows I have the time right now. Love the channel so far.

[@shawnjacobi8717]

Looks really nice . was it an si I had one in 99 I had 91 si with 4 ws red one it was so nice and I had let some of use it and they hit a curb and it was never the same but you Car looks just like love it

[@joshcrosbie7374]

Love the prelude. I see a miniscoot. What's the white one on wall with green skyways. Ta.. haro?

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Good eyes, Josh. That is a Mongoose Mini Scoot, that someday I will spend 30 minutes and get it operational and the white and green bike is a 1985 Skyway Streetbeat that I built about 12 years ago. All I had was the frame and fork. It took about six months, but I sourced all the parts to assemble a pretty bad ass bike.

[@Charvel86]

Excellent video, enjoyed this alot. Great stuff!

[@VR-vi1qw]

I have that same color prelude 3rd gen

[@bruah4364]

I got one for my first car this year for an ABSOLUTE STEAL, it was just 100$ with the only problem being the alternator

[@rollthelosingdice]

Love the 3rd gen!

[@Faith_Chi]

Great work :) I'd keep the spoiler, keep as original as possible. (I wish my own spoiler had the brake lights, she's a UK model).

[@ToxxicRemedy]

As soon as you said red turbo prelude with black wheels... i was like i bet hes talking about mikes prelude. And sure as shit. Mulrich. Haha. One of the video on my channel is me and mike doing a photoshoot. Love what youre doing for the community and your car. Good shit man. Miss my 3g. -Toxxic

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks Toxxic. That means a lot. I remember seeing your name a million times on on PP. Thanks for watching.

[@BCTCanadian]

I agree with you; there's just something about having the engine that is SUPPOSED to be in the car. Great video... I like the choices you've made... ... with the exception of the spoiler ;-) The stock spoiler might look better than you think, and particularly with the mod you're planning could be really unique, with no others like it? Either way, keep up the great work - if you can ever find the centre armrest factory add-on it's a RARE piece for these cars that is also really functional. Can't wait to see how it drives soon. This prelude was lucky you found her!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Brian Thanks Man! I might get that spoiler and trunk painted along with the rest of the car so I can change the look from time to time.

[@Sammmmmmmm617]

Where did you find your prelude? I was thinking about getting the 3rd gen as my first tuning car.

[@Faith_Chi]

Yes, they're rare. I have a red one, i always wanted a classic car :) Faith Chi xo

[@ericpelky1246]

Used to have a 93 vtec that was a good cruiser. Its difficult to find these 91s in even fair shape.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Eric Pelky Yep. It took me a couple of years to find this and it had a blown head gasket!

[@jasonlyle3818]

[@addyrojas5213]

I need to do this to my lude, any advice to help the clean up would be greatly appreciated!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Go to the Prelude playlist on this channel and get yourself some popcorn. Good luck and thanks for watching!

[@dingobird1039]

Clean setup

[@jgizzy]

Does the intake tubing couple go INSIDE the throttle body? It looks like it, I've never seen that before. At 7:58

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Jgizzy -redacted- Lol. No. It's not connected in the video. The tubing goes OVER the TB. 👍

[@monty3927]

Nice.. I had a gold 1990 si

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I love that color!

[@south7boys]

I just picked up a 91 with the rare black leather interior. I'm so stoked to start working on it. I've never seen a head gasket that cooked before lol! Any recommendations for aftermarket support on these cars? Finding it difficult to find in depth info on these ludes. Thanks man.

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

You will not find more info about these cars than on this KZbin channel or my website: extremedailydrivers.com/

[@yegboi5483]

Just wondering what hub you have on? I have a 89 lude and would like a after market steering wheel set up. Cheers

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Hi Yeg, I used a NRG short hub and an NRG Quick Release Hub. The short hub you need is SRK-190H. Here is some more info from my build tread. Let me know if you have anymore questions. www.preludepower.com/forums/showthread.php?t=428289&page=3 Thanks Brandon

[@johnmylonas6481]

where did you find bushings for the suspension? I wanna lower my 89 (ksport coilover) i got front and back endlinks (mustard cat), i wanna change as much as possible, thanx for the videos. Keep up the great work!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Thanks for watching, John! Most of the bushings came from Amazon or eBay. You have to dig on preludepower.com to find the part numbers you need. Good luck!

[@israeljimenez3652]

nice video buddy ... i converted my 3rd gen lude from auto to manual but im having an issue with the shift linkage it gets stuck any help???

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Do you know where it’s binding? It’s pretty simple, the cables go from the shifter to the top of the transmission. You should be able to move them with your hand on top of the transmission. Can you do that? Make sure there is no unnecessary movement in the cables.

[@israeljimenez3652]

okay thanks ima give that a try today👍

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

👍 Make sure the three bolts on top of the transmission that hold the cables are tight.

[@israeljimenez3652]

so you eliminated the EGR valve and idle control valve and what else??

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Cruise control, power steering, AC, heat, charcoal canister that’s all I can think of. Watch my latest video, I go over it all in the video.

[@prodigyam5078]

Wish i knew how to work on cars, my neighbor has a 88 prelude and i love it but it has transmission issues. Wish i could buy his and fix it up but idk how 😪🤘

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I don't know how either. Lucky for you I did over 40 videos on The Lude. Between those videos and all of the info on Preludepower.com, there is nothing you can't fix. Buy your neighbors car and start wrenching! If I can do it, you can do it!

What would a 1991 honda prelude 2.0 SI cost? Theres one going for 1500 in socal says it has 140k miles. Is this good price?

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

nameless It all depends. If it's running and driving for $1500, that seems like a pretty good price. These are very rare so if you want one get it.

[@gaboaaa23]

the spoiler looks so much better without this supports!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I know! I thought the same thing. I like both looks, but I'm surprised no one had already shaved off those spoiler supports.

Hi, i asked u something about ur rims(i dont know if u remember), for us in France its so difficult to find some pieces for our Prelude 3G. u made a lot of modifications to ur car and hey are amazing! so i'd like to know where do u buy your pieces? Do u know some internet site? It would be cool if you could give it to me =)

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

I purchased my rims from eBay along with most of my build. I search on the parts I need, I find the part numbers, and then I search on the part number. Most of the time, I can find the parts on eBay for the cheapest and quickest shipping. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

The Skunk2 intake is custom. I made it when I put a Skunk2 sticker on the stock IM. Picked up a quick 10hp. 😉

[@keithmb33]

There’s a clean 90 prelude with 4ws for sale near me...I can get it for $1700. Here’s the downside; 165k miles. Worth it or nah? I think so, solely because of how few I’ve seen. Whatcha think?

[@ExtremeDailyDrivers]

Miles never matter. How it was cared for is what matters.

Hi! How big are your rims (wheels) and your tires please? (sizes, width, ET...) (i am French. I have trouble understanding the video)
