Re: Big Mike's Prelude REBUILD
Thanks for the updates man. That was a ridiculous amount of pics. That LSBlue S2k = win. Those fenders are crazy. However....

Re: Big Mike's Prelude REBUILD
Hi Mike, I'm a new member who just put a '92 on the track at Agassiz BC. I've been racing civics until this year and there's no way back now. Here's my racing blog: The_Hornets_Nest on Xanga Nice work, man.

Re: Big Mike's Prelude REBUILD
Hi Mike,
Your car is an inspiration. I restore classic Honda motorcycles for a living, (check my sig) some of them are SUPER rare (we have a bike in at the mo that is the only one left, out of the original 4 that were built in 1958) so I have to work to some pretty high standards. To see someone applying the creativity, and level of craftsmanship that you are, to a car, (especially a 'lude!) is a beautiful thing. As an engineer, complete Honda freak and restorer I truely appreciate the detail you've gone to. You have my respect. Im hoping that one day I will have the time, space and money to build my 4th gen up to a similar standard. (I'll have to stop playing with bikes for a bit first thought!) Stevie

Stevie, I am very, very glad that you took the time to post up in this thread with those kind words. I am very honored by your comments, I truly am. Coming from an "engineer, complete Honda freak and restorer," I could not have asked for a higher compliment. THANK YOU.

But yea, tucked radiator setups are becoming increasingly popular within the elite Honda enthusiast/builder. I am seeing more and more pop up in multiples chassis.

Re: Big Mike's Prelude REBUILD
I hope this question is not taken the wrong way. With alot of the current builds I have seen the un-used holes under the hood welded up and smoothed before paint was applied. I was just wondering why you chose not to do this. I am not saying that your bay is bad AT ALL. this is the sickest bay I have ever and will probably ever see. I was just figuring that with all the other mods like the tucked radiator and brake boosted delete that tha little things like the extra holes really were not a big deal anyway. Once again, much respect to your car and to you Mike. It was just an observation as I was drooling over the engine bay pics. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Big Mike's Prelude REBUILD
Hmmm... well, I don't think you are doing anything "wrong" per se. I do not have that problem because I am using a belt with a lesser amount of ribs. I will look at the car when I get home and give you the belt number, but I am using a 3 or 4 rib belt, which is obviously smaller diameter than the one you are using, and I do not have any rubbing issues.

Re: Big Mike's Prelude REBUILD
Stock is like, 5 rib right? I doubt it would hurt anything to run 3/4 ribs like BigMike said.

Re: Big Mike's Prelude REBUILD
yep stock is 5 rib and definitely can't find a 5 rib 32" belt anywhere. but thanks for the idea big mike on running a 3 rib civic belt, i really like the relocator by the way and appreciate the reply.

Re: Big Mike's Prelude REBUILD
No problem man. I will give you the part number asap. I can't imagine you having any more problems when you go with a smaller diameter belt.

Re: Big Mike's Prelude REBUILD
Ok, so I sold my Advan RGs and bought new wheels. I just put them on last night and I am LOVING IT. Let's just say that they completely change the look of the car. I have wanted a set of these wheels for many, many years and now I finally own them in the perfect sizing! I'm going to put my brand new Falken Azeni RT-615Ks on them, and get new lug nuts, and then dial in my suspension. The Spocom Long Beach Super Show is coming up, and I am going to debut the new setup there. My vehicle is going to be in Falken Tire's booth at this event, so look forward to great pictures to come fellas.
