Prelude Type SH - POV Canyon Run

[@ethownzbh]

That pedal configuration alone kinda shows where the engineers put an emphasis for the car's usage. And I'm liking the full canyon run pov excerpt too you should keep doing these.

[@TheBb6prelude]

the funniest thing I read is when people say all Hondas are shit except the NSX and s2000,lol. What made Honda what it is is their FF cars.

Enjoyed this video; recently picked up a 99 Type SH, first stick shift, and I love it.

[@wvjon75]

I agree about the quality of Hondas from the 90's and early 2000's. I had a 1992 Prelude and now a 2006 S2000 and 2004 CR-V. Even the CR-V feels much better quality than newer models.

I wanted a prelude so bad back when i was 17-18 and really getting into imports. Very dope cars it’s a shame they got discontinued

[@musshwins412]

I grew up driving on calavaras road in Milpitas. i haven't driven it in 30 years but i still recognize the road.

[@unkown1237]

It won't shift out of vtec if you shift fast enough (; I know, I have a prelude as well.

[@importenthusiastchannel]

you dont need atts in a prelude to be able to have amazing corner capability. i have a base model, and cornering on stock suspension is super easy, and i can corner very very fast

[@slashbashin]

Its true, but ATTS makes a pretty noticeable difference. I've driven the car with it off and the cornering doesn't feel the same.

[@Motherofmusic]

Honda Enthusiast Channel the atts makes a huge difference, still a good hadling car but not like the sh....

[@importenthusiastchannel]

you have a gram?

[@Saisei87]

Honestly, i have a 97 base model 5 speed and i want to throw a set of coilovers on to lower it down an inch so it handles really really good. They weigh 100 lbs less than the atts equipped Type SH and I've heard that those atts can fail and be very costly to fix

for real I think almost any miata owner would rather have an s2000, but the miata is 1/5 the price in my market XD Still, i am saving for an s2000 someday

[@stephenimsong3462]

I wanna pick one up, used to own teggy and I always had a soft spot for these cars

[@spicytuna62]

I hear so much bashing on the auto trans, but I beat the hell out of mine and it was the original still going strong at just under 200K

[@devonfelix3673]

Spicy Tuna it's inevitable, as enthusiasts any sort of auto trans strips a car of its performance value. That's y they get so much bashing, because they're being viewed through enthusiast eyes. If you owned both a manual and auto I guarantee ud enjoy driving the manual more 😁

[@Saisei87]

Its not that you just want a manual for a car like the prelude (because you do) but ive heard the auto trans was notoriously and uncharacteristically shitty. The fact you beat the shit out of your lude and it still works fine is apparently the exception to the norm. I have a 97 base model lude with a 5 speed and love driving it. Only has 106k original miles.

[@benhogervorst]

Only thing I can see that I'd change is the steering rack speed. Maybe I'm just imagining (and also granted, I haven't driven one) but it just seems to take so many turns to get into a corner, even compared to my 03 Protege.

Shift at 8 grand and she'll stay in VTEC.

[@goldendevereaux]

mehftv Even when you redline second gear, third gear will be at 4800 after you shift. It only happens in third

[@John.strong]

Alic Segura red line and rev limit / rev cut is 2 different things in a honda Normal h22 red line is 7400 and rev cut is 7950 ish depending on model So reving it out past redline all the way to rev cut is the way to stay in vtec

[@banttwon]

John Strong Shift between 3000 and 3500 , keeps it from burning so much oil , vetec's kicks in sets the oil on fier , i see lots of guys flooring them at high rpms but at the end of the day , they been done burned up a lot of oil ......

[@John.strong]

anttwon brown daily driving thats close to what i do, maybe 4k But my current engine doesn't burn oil at all because ive rebuilt it But on a canyon run where you are having some fun an 8k shift is so much more fun The trick is to not sit at high rpm if you know it burns oil

[@banttwon]

John Strong Yeah I can agree on that one , in Atlanta any were closed to 285 is super fun , it's my first VTEC , well I had a LS Monte Carlo with a V8 VTEC but it's my first Honda , my dad had a prelude when he was in high school, A 1981 Prelude and laft me in the back seat behind the high School , I was raised by my grands ever sent , I afraid of destroying the engine so I try not to go to high on the RPM's , I bought the car from a used dealer , whoever had it before me must not had much time for it or got other plans , but it runs in the family , thunder birds , mustangs , Ford Taurus and Preludes all SHO's overhead Cam's ....

[@endless_touge]

You just said what all other Honda fanboys say. Is just a Prelude! Reality is...This is THE Prelude!

[@juanc5149]

It doesn’t drop out of vtec in second either. You just have to rev it a little higher past indicated redline.

[@michaelocampo2565]

what wpuld haave happened if a car pulled out of a driveway?

[@AlphanumericSoup]

The reason it's dropping out of vtec is because the tach is off by about 500 rpm by the time you get to the top so it'll look like you're changing at 8100-8200. If you keep that in mind you'll stay in vtec just fine. That's my experience from my 01 type SH at least.

[@slashbashin]

True. The tachs on these cars are not accurate especially at higher RPM

[@at8504]

Not true. Get it close to 8k and it is staying in unicorn fart mode

[@euroimport531]

Cant wait to hear what you have to say about your next car.

[@spicytuna62]

Let me go on to say that not all Hondas are fun to drive. I have an HR-V and I hate that thing. Seemed like a decent car at first. Now I hate it because it's the opposite of fun. I'll be getting a Civic Type R or a Focus RS as soon as I'm done paying this thing off.

you mentioned automatic everything is worse lol reminded me of Saab which isn't that way, sort of. if you're modifying one, you can do more and get more out of the automatic transmission Saabs 9-3 phoenix body Era. it's probably not as enjoyable but depends on if someone prefers power to a manual that might be less reliable

[@paolomanalo4003]

Great POV. It reminds me of Winding Road Magazine's videos in terms of camera quality and set-up. One recommendation that I would suggest is to use binaural microphones to enhance the audio...which Winding Road also uses. You should do a POV drive video of your new NSX!

Hard to say. Prelude has better stock suspension, steering, and driving position. RSX-S has the better engine and tunability. Stock vs stock I would probably have the Prelude. RSX-S for mods.

Its so much cheaper to turbo charge an na miata than buy a honda s2k. we talking about a 3,000 dollar miata with 6,000 to turbocharge compared to a 17 ,000+ dollar s2k. Ive driven my buddies s2k and I cant lie and say its not fun, but Id never buy an s2k over my miata. BTW im 6'2 and can heel toe perfectly fine with stock seats and stock steering wheel, maybe you need to work on your technique ;)

[@slashbashin]

Eh, been there. I have yet to see forced induction be done as reliably as a factory tuned engine. S2ks dont cost that much anymore. more like 13k for a decent one. I guess miatas have just never done much for me. If you really love NA engines its hard to beat a honda engine too.

[@Mirror0fGhost]

slashbashin I understand that you haven't seen one, a lot of people go cheap on their turbo setups or have no idea what they're doing. Me and my buddy did his turbo setup from flyin miata and he's been daily driving it for while up until recently because he doesn't want to rack up miles on his baby. Bur s2ks here in MD are quite the penny if you're trying to get one in good condition

[@slashbashin]

My same buddy is gonna try and turbo his miata with that kit now so I guess we will see how he does.

[@rkan665]

Fun is subjective, but a s2000 making similar power to a turbo Miata will still be faster around corners. But I agree with you, a turbo Miata is still fun and can be faster (in a straight line) than a s2000.
