Crower stage 2 cams and retainers
ACT stage 3 racing clutch
DC sports 4-2-1 header
DC sports muffler 4" tip
2.5" custom exhaust
Skunk2 Pro series Intake manifold
Skunk2 70mm throttlebody
Skunk2 adjustable cam gears
Injen cold air intake
Tunned P72 GSR ECU tunned on crome
Eibach coilovers with a 2.5" drop
Megan Racing Strut Bars (front and rear)

Thats the list of engine mods as far as the rest of the car it has a full body kit both bumpers side skirts and fenders. Also a set of R-1 17" racing rims with falken tires size 205/50-R17. I am wanting to run nitrous on it but not sure if the engine will take it, not a big shot maybe a 60 or 75 at the most. Also at the drag strip I am having some trouble with Launching I seem to be spinning the hell out of my first two gears the car just won't hook out the hole.

I made a mistake. I was the proud owner of a 1995 Honda Prelude SE.



From there I did small modifications such as sway bar, audio, and other small things. Then my first mistake.. I got a body kit :frown:



Well after realizing my mistake I saved up and got me a nice WWRS lip kit. :cool:



This would be the last picture I will ever take with my lude.




This is where mistake number 2 came in. I drove a 1995 Eagle Talon TSI a year prior to getting my lude. It was quick as hell and i liked it. So I ended up trading mine for a 1995 Eagle Talon TSi AWD.



After a few months, this is where I got.



Now I realized that a DSM turbo wasn't worth it and I'm on a quest to try to find someone either local, craigslist, etc. to trade for a clean lude. Right now I am in the mist of looking. I hope to find one soon. I really do miss it and I can't really believe what I did.Wish me luck on my quest and try not to blast me too much on my past decisions.

So I'm on my way home on the highway (95) when I get the urge to show up the supra behind me (old women driving it, of course she didnt bite), and shift into 4th and run the vtec for a bit. Went into 5th with it still engaged, bout 110, then slowed down.

**I'm well aware the supra would eat me if they wanted to. Anyway...

I hear a click click click, and I thought one of my lights was hanging (I have a loose blinker). So I pull over, and behold, I have rips in my alternator belt. I tried to make it home, but once I got going it just slipped completely off. Battery light was on, car would slightly rev itself when at a stop. Not happy. =/

Just wondering if any of you had ideas when it comes to rattles or noises on the interior of the car. My 5th gen was wrecked by the PO. Interior though is in pretty good condition seeing that it spent 13 years in the Miami sun. The car had a butt load of noises on the interior. Especially coming from the rear deck. I have reduced the interior noises considerably. For one I removed the 3rd brake light. Replaced the Base deck with an SH deck. Pushed as hard as I could on the rear plastic covers. They weren't secure. The dash rattled as well. I put black electrical tape on the inside lip of the dash. I know that's ghetto. Can't see it with the dash closed and for now that one is gone as well. What else can be done to eliminate the remaining noise? ]]> 5th Gen Honda Prelude Danno http://www.preludezone.com/5th-gen-honda-prelude/32471-eliminating-interior-rattles-noises-etc.html PRODUCT REVIEW SECTION RULES...................................

I'm thinking about just putting in yellow bulbs because I want the light output to be yellow, the yellower the better. I don't want to HID it either, do you think i would be able to achieve the bright yellow with just the bulbs?

Also what bulbs do you suggest for me to get this going?

Does anyone have any pictures of clear foggies with just yellow bulbs , I just want to see the output of yellow on it.

** Also , Someone said they recommended Nokya Hyper Yellow bulbs, and I just noticed on Ebay that there about $20 and also it says the bulbs are 70watts, can the replicas handle that?

The light on the cruise control button will turn on when i push it, but when i push the set button on the steering wheel, the cruise control button wont light up on the dash.
I know this is a problem in a lot of 4th gen ludes, and ive heard that there may be a leak in the vacuum hose from the cruise control, but i dont really know how to check it.
I have no idea what could be going on.
