UPDATES ON PRETTY MUCH EVERY PAGE...

CHECK OUT MY BROTHER'S SMALL PRELUDE BUILD TOO:
http://www.tamparacing.com/forums/me...-built-up.html

i started off with a 93 prelude s model (the silver one, that is how it looked after i sold it to my friend)... got a mugen bumper and side skirts along with a few other minor mods and then ran it into a concrete barricade. a buddy of mine bought it from me for cheap in college and i picked up another 93 prelude s (the white one). i moved to california from florida and sold it before the move.



moving on.... while in california i was fortunate to find and purchase a 1994 honda prelude rhd imported from japan. i spent 8 months legalizing it in the state of california and then a few months later moved back to florida with it.

how it looked when i bought it (it was 100% stock besides a red top):





i did a few basic mods while in california (shocks and springs, black housings, amber corners, deck and components, alarm, aem cai, apex'i n1 cat back, magnaflow highflow):





i get back to florida and 6 months later crank walk gets the best of my h22 and 2 quarter sized holes are knocked out of my block:







so i get another h22 from hmotors that was rebuilt by a buddy of mine and have it dropped in. i clean my car for 6 hours to get it ready for the JDM UPS meet in tampa and on my way there a guy cuts across 3 lanes of traffic and the lady in front of me slams on her brakes causing me to rear end her
from this:

to this:




so after dealing with insurance and what not.... i managed to come out on top.
the car is getting fully repaired, new paint, and a bunch of new parts...i bought a front clip from the fuckers at royaljapanesemotors.com (dont EVER buy anything from them, they are horrible)!

thanks to RB Motoring!

as you can see though they need a little bit of work, as expected.

so i am refinishing them (taking them apart, refinishing the lips, powder coating, cleaning, etc...)

PS. i hate 3 piece wheels, they are a bitch.

JIC Magics...


retrofit in progress.


this will look much better once its painted and in place of my destroyed stock hood


so my rims will fit on the car.


rsr ex mag, dc header w/ 2.5" collector, test pipe, type s intake w/ k&n filter, 5 lug conversion


hawk pads.. the rest of the brake parts will be here soon (stainless steel lines and oem replacement rotors)




.... i have a few other random parts scattered around.
more parts to come (some are already shipped), including:
-extended studs
-race works radius rod spherical bearing bushing kit
-race works LCA spherical bearing bushing kit
-lug nuts
-megan toe rods
-shrouds for retrofit
-Falken Azenis RT-615 (225-50-16)
-oem replacement rotors
-stainless steel f+r brake lines

the car is in the shop now getting the new front end put on and a fresh coat of Lexus Glacier Frost Mica.

heading out to deals gap in June and before then i should have:
-Recaro seats
