My first car was a 3rd gen prelude 2.0Si with 4WS, I'd say they've gotten pretty popular over the years, I bought mine for $900 back around 2009, and now finding one in manual in half decent shape for under $15,000 just isn't gonna happen

[@bjperez9076]

Back in 2000 I was in college and my fraternity did a cat wash. This mid-20s guy pulled up in a fully loaded last gen Prelude SI with the manumatic transmission. He let me pull it from the wash bay to the area we were hand drying and I was blown away in that 15-20 seconds. I always liked the Prelude but after that they had a special place in my heart. Never had one, but wouldn't mind getting one!

[@leebdj1949]

One of my favourite cars. Two of my buddies had one. Handled like crazy, solid feeling controls, and interior, sleek, flat undercarriage. The twin carb engine performed, and sounded awesome. His ‘86 was as tough as nails, and he bought it third hand. The guy he bought it from over 20 years ago, says it was his favourite car to this day.

good video. My 2nd car was a 1981 prelude that i bought in 1988. I slammed it to the ground by cutting the springs on it. It became nicknamed the bouncer, but it looked cool that low. This was the time of Mini Truckin, so there were very few lowered import cars back then.

When the h22 hits 5k it’s pretty addictive. I’ve never driven a car that rewarded you in every way for keeping the pedal pinned to the floor.

The Gen 2 Prelude really started to look good, there was a cool Convertible for sale a few years back in UK, Apparently tree fell on it at Dealership so they had roof chopped off and soft top fitted and it sat for years with only a few thousand miles, was under 2k, just wish i had more space

[@jcolella]

I owned two 2nd gens, an '87 2.0Si and an 85 base (1.8 dual carb). Both manuals of course : ) . Put a $hit ton of miles on both. The super low front cowl and razor-thin A pillars allowed for those huge windows--- giving you an amazing outward view. Hard to describe how much this makes a difference compared to todays boxed in cars (due to airbags, rollover requirements, etc. etc.). Good job Mark!

[@Punty050]

Amazing video my jaw was on the floor... Big Honda community in Toronto and a lot of Canada so I felt this one.

[@BigKWS]

I loved my old '84 Prelude. It was the first Honda I ever bought. Now I'm on my 4th Honda and will likely keep it for a long time. I wouldn't mind if they brought back the Prelude again, but with the current supply chain shortages, I'm sure it won't be easy to make it very affordable.

[@Cjbarker2]

They would overengineer the thing and check too many boxes... hybrid, AWD, DCT or CVT with no manual option for the US, every creature comfort imaginable, and a long list of unimpressive emissions control crap. The best one could hope for is a transplant powertrain directly from the Civic Si.

[@AllenGarvin]

I love those 2nd gen ones! I had (via parental generosity) a top of the line '85 Accord but it was so slow and sad compared to the Prelude. I'm on my 5th Honda, and am pondering the new Integra... mainly because it's an Si with a hatchback.

[@simoneigner9863]

Just as an addition of info for anyone interested. The 2G came in 2 versions which are both seen in the video. The Si and the DX. The Si had a single cam injection engine with 110hp and the DX a single cam carbed engine which produced 100hp. At least for the US. The japanese market also got a double cam Fi engine. The "first" B-engine from Honda and it produced a (for that time) whoping 160hp! The european market got a down tuned version of that with approx 140hp😄

Great video summary. As a 4th gen owner, the most striking thing for me right now is the fact that it is 30 years old (mine is 1992), yet it still grabs attention! There is something alarming about a modded 4th gen on VTEC appearing in the rear view mirror haha.

Really enjoyed your video. Believe it or not a lot of cars of today still don't have double wishbone suspension. Even some supposed performance cars like Porsches. And yes it does make a huge difference in handling. The Honda engineers really designed these old school cars to perform around tracks

[@jamesstaggs4160]

I've owned two, a 1993 with the 2.3 and a 95 with the 2.2 VTEC. Both five speeds. Both cars had been heavily modified before I bought them, lowered with aftermarket rims, front strut tower bars, cold air intakes (the 2.3 was an actual cold air as the pipe was routed through to where the filter was only a few inches off the road). The 2.2 had fiberglass fenders and hood, along with an aftermarket camshaft. Both great, reliable cars and the 2.2 was actually quick and the handling was fantastic for a fwd car. They'd plow if you threw them in a corner hard enough but lots of fun to drive.

[@cedrictheveneau9141]

As first Gen Prelude owner, I’m glad to see someone talking about it, even though it wasn’t talked about in the best way haha Quick note ln the first gen’s engine: in Europe we had a 1.6L 80hp engine, and in Japan they got the 1.8L 90hp, so 15hp more than in the US, not that much, but for a 850-900kg car it’s nice !

[@jamescampbell720]

For me I think it was the HRN216VKA. The performance that thing had was unmatched by anything of its generation. Great cornering. weight distribution was near 50/50. The Mid mounted motor really helped the balance. and Honda reliability to top it all off. They would run forever if you took care of them.

[@JuicyJagger]

[@toddsmith8608]

Those have great structural rigidity but the suspension is shit, any midcorner bumps throw them off. Great fuel economy though, and low maintenance costs.

[@toddsmith8608]

@James Campbell, have you considered an HF120 engine swap?

[@GeeFreshman]

I’ve owned 2 5th gen preludes now, a type s and type sh. I personally think these cars are performance bargains if you can scoop up a clean one for around 5k. Before the k series became the k series the h22 was the most coveted Honda swap you could do since it was the “big block” motor. Parts are cheap although a little more scarce then your average civic or Miata but if you look in the right places they’re certainly there.

[@MrKnoxguy101]

Yeah.. the H22’s performance was quite uncommon back when the 5th gen Prelude was new. I had a 97 GSX Eclipse back in the day, and when you compare factory tuned performance of those two cars, the 4G motor was a turbocharged 2 liter boasting 210 hp and could not pull away from a Prelude. Some days the Eclipse ran better than others (temperamental turbo).. the Prelude’s H22 was more consistent needless to say. I’ve seen that engine swapped into 4th gen Accords and it literally turned the car into a sleeper. Consistent low 8 second passes in the 8th mile. Pretty impressive.

[@thetechlibrarian]

A prelude clean for 5k? Haha where

[@jahseantenn4574]

This video brought back memories, my neighbour had one from new. The engine just purred and the ride was so smooth.

[@ElRayDelRio]

[@nobodynoone2500]

3:33 Correction, double wishbone suspension is on hardly any new cars. Even honda went back to economy strut suspension. That is a HUGE difference in handling. 7:30 VTEC is for getting a larger powerband, aka, more power down low, not peak power. Peak hp is not affected that much, but does get a bit better than economy tuning alone allows. Too bad they killed the integra after 2001. The new one is a civic with a body kit, and lacks even the double wishbone suspension that made the OG special. Honda has become a joke.

[@initial3615]

i mean have you seen mitsubishi..

[@aoescool]

double wishbone is bask on most honda and acura products..

[@pliedtka]

The old Vtec kicked in around 6k RPM. The current one is 3 stage optimized for midband performance. My friends '96 Type R Vtec kicks at high RPMs, but once he had 2000 Civic build specifically for track - Type R power plant with supercharger. It was as fast as 911. I knew physics Ph.D, specializing in acoustic and DSP. He still owns turbocharger Type R build for track. And then, people also used Prelude engines in Civics or various head swaps to get more juice.

[@MrKnoxguy101]

Yeah that H22 was ahead of the curve back in the day. What everyone else was doing with twin cams and a turbocharger, Honda did with VTEC. When they started swapping them into Civics and fourth gen Accords, it really woke those cars up. Seems like after a while the valve seals would wear, which caused it to smoke a little when you got in the throttle, but it still held its power pretty well. I could see Honda bringing the Prelude back and it being a sales success. Would be cool to see it happen.

I love the prelude. There is one by my house being sold on a lot that I cannot take my eyes off of

[@MiguelJW]

My uncle bought that 4th generation in 1991! I remember it like yesterday back than cars were boxshaped. This one was really ahead of it’s time. Still its a beauty!!

[@nickypoundtown9568]

I've been in love with the 4th gen ever since seeing one in 1992, I bought one in 2004 as my first car and now own 3 of them The design in my opinion is the best looking car Japan ever made, if it were instead released by GM a bit larger with a 5ltr V8 and rwd it would have been a great Camaro/Firebird successor

My first new car during my first professional job out of college was the 4th gen 1995 Prelude. I remember how much of an increase in status I felt when I brought that red beauty home. I still remember the new car smell. I picked it over the '95 Celica. It was rated in the top 10 most reliable cars, and it had front wheel drive, which was important in snowy Delaware. I had that car during every IT job I had. I drove that car to my first private lap dance in '97. The only problem it ever gave me was that during the winter time, the retractable antenna would get stuck when auto-retracting, so I had to manually force it down. It was tricky to turn off the radio and hurry out to the antenna near the rear so I could time the forcing down of the antenna properly. If I ever became rich someday, I would hire someone to restore a 4th gen Prelude. I was disappointed that the only radio control Prelude car body available is the 5th gen. You cannot make a radio control 4th gen Prelude.

@@perfectsplit5515 you're exactly right, I still feel spoilt when I sit in all 3 of mine, the aggressive animalistic lines of the exterior to the space age fighter pilot interior I've since restored mine to be a JDM example of the SI-VTEC with all sorts of rare gizmos like digital climate control, air refiner, CD stacker

There’s a 1986 prelude si selling for 7,500 in my area should I get that?

Love those first gen preludes! I had a 1988 I loved it! So rad!

[@SleeperRequiem]

I love the 4th gen Prelude. Was deciding between Prelude and del Sol and just went with VTi CRX due to targa roof.

[@frankiemck40]

I had an ‘82 (1st gen) and an ‘83 (2nd gen) Prelude. Loved them both for different reasons. Thank you for this video.

[@oscarp9336]

I had a black gen 5 with the full oem spoiler kit and wing. I love my Prelude!

[@chemoautotroph]

One of my favorite cars, i drove a 1988 back in the day and i loved it with all my heart.

[@MrHubb1]

Great video. 👍. I always wanted a 3rd gen Prelude. I was too young to drive when they came out but I would love one in stock condition with manual transmission.

[@WeI3I3y]

I still have a 4th gen sitting in my garage to this day. Was a fully built turbo currently needs pistons and fun work. Probably one of the only garage kept prelude shells in the world.

[@YBGuy]

Great story telling, on a great model, I owned three of them back in the day and they were all tons of fun.

[@slofobra4966]

Always loved the prelude, my brother had a 87 growing up.

[@Eric-steele]

Finally the car video I was waiting for I've had 3 preludes and they are a beautiful car

[@isaacchisholm7289]

Love the prelude and love the blops1 ost

[@ra-a_tsukuyomigt9298]

I love the MW2 music in the background. Thank you

[@pdonettes]

My friend had the last generation of prelude. He used to fly around the backroads of PA. It was an amazing car.

[@austinryckman5903]

Love the blacks ops 1 multi-player music in the background 👌

[@Tsivillian]

I'm digging the BlackOps music in the background. Dope vid

[@STITCHWA]

Love the footage from sydney motorsport park i was there that day and that white prelude has a FA20 from an S2000 its a beast.

[@jtjimenez05]

I miss my 4th gen, wish I never sold it. The dash and the body were amazing for it years and those bucket seats were indestructible. My biggest problem with the vehicle was a pin that holds the cam shaft. Brought so many headaches during the time until I found it. Lol

[@jacquesduplessis6175]

Nice video. I drove a 4th Gen for years, absolutely lovely car

[@pig7862]

8:15 I agree thats best looking Prelude,

[@jevans1392]

Had a 96 Si. Absolutely loved it. What an amazing vehicle. Handled like a go-kart! Ate 5.0's daily.

[@josegabrielvalle7394]

I thought this would just be a run of the mill video but you’re funny man enjoyed this

[@TyfoiD75]

4th gen was always a cool in my book.. ty for the video

[@geraldf4193]

I have a 2021 typeR and absolutely love it…. But I love the Lude too! Bring it back

[@blanketmobbypants]

I love the Prelude. You got bars too lol

[@veelut]

my father owned a 3rd gen, i grew up riding in the backseat. i had the 4th gen of my own throughout high school. with bright eyes, i bought a 3rd gen shell and dropped my h22 into it. it wasn't a successful swap as it never ran after the fact and i ended up leaving for the military shortly after but man, the prelude has a very special place in my heart. the 3rd gen will always be my favorite honda due to it's nostalgic effect on me. thanks for the video
