30-Year Old Honda Prelude 2.2 Fan Car Makes it Up Genting/ VTEC Kicks in Again Yo!/ YS Khong Driving
Hey guys and girls, here's a little bit of nostalgia - we drove a 30-year old Honda Prelude up the mountain, courtesy of its proud owner, Max Teoh who kindly let me have a go with it.
For a 30-year old car, it is pretty good, and actually drives much better than a 30 year old E30, for example.
Well, I had fun, and so we put up this video to share the joy with all of our viewers, and since it is a manual, we also put in a foot cam.
Please enjoy the video and let us have your comments below.

What a legendary car. Still awesome inside and outside. Nice engine and exhaust sounds too.
Lost me when the tyres were revealed to be for "economy" and "grand touring", lol . That Prelude deserves some real performance rubber! They are so chuckable around corners.
Sure a great and iconic car, one of the best Hondas ever made. Also, nice driving too! Cheers!

Thanks a lot!
So nice to see Uncle Khong giving this classic some love! Mine is 1991... first production run chassis 😃 I'm restoring mine at the moment... unfortunately it's auto 😅. But with Auto... still can push VTEC to open 😄 Still not confident to take up genting yet as check engine light comes on and off... still can't identify why 🤣

Sounds good for a 30 year old car. Good job!
Love the VTEC screaming. Thanks for the blip tip when we release the clutch. Will take note and try.
ahh the prelude i remember this car when i was young kid my dad owns second-generation model (but unfortunately it was gone for good because the car has been taken and has been sold) and hopefully when i will grow up i will find a many preludes i can found so far
Wow the design of the dashboard is so futuristic
Outlook never outdated. Still looking great.
my oldest brother bought honda prelude at japan since he studied there and bring back to malaysia by cargo (pay tax of course 😅). on that time i still at primary school and really love this car because of it two doors, sunroof and 4WS.
My family had one in the same colour. Bought from the owners of a Honda Dealer down south. Good memories.
Wow!! This ah kong sure can drive!!!keep it up!! Thinking of getting 1 prelude too
Uncle Khong, I have one too and I found out if I take late apex I can keep the rpm higher and go faster around the corner and sometimes less understeer. I don't know if this car have 4ws but i bought mine without because my previous one when I was a youth was so unpredictable with the 4ws system. Anyway, thanks for the video. Really gained plenty of input here
finally..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻, hopefully someone can sponser uncle YS old school toyota with 4A-GE engine🙏🏻🙏🏻
I had the 1988 4WS version. Fun cars to drive. :)
Good tips on how to drive a FWD car. Some people don't know the difference when they buy a new car that has a different drivetrain than what they are used to; and they end up getting into a messy situation when driving.
I have a 1992 Honda prelude si with the 4ws and I love it it only has like 129k miles on it
Very clean ride. Good job
that VTEC sound is so good. if only those iVTEC NA engines let me hear the changeovers. i haven’t heard it in those. there isn’t right?
Old is gold yeah.. Team prelude..😊
nak bangga jap that I have the same placement for the Greddy Water Temp as this Prelude, entah kenapa nak bangga but have always liked Prelude😂😂
Nice example of a now classic vehicle.
Mr. Khong have a evil laugh when he said "off cam". 😂
Too bad the 4WS on this unit was not working. It does change the handling characteristics of this car significantly. Anyway, Good drive Uncle!

Manual is the best. Fun to drive especially go up Genting Highlands

this is the slowest i have see uncle khong drive. I think the tyres, gear ratio and road condition didnt give him enough confidence in the car

My first date in Honda prelude the older model , the boxy type, not this bulging , the car were so nimble, so you can figure out now 😂
This one of the in car those days
always heard about how understeer a prelude could be...poor weight distribution contribute to that i guess...the weight more towards front ...a civic eg ek or fd got better weight distribution...

It's the stock tires and suspension. I put run most cars on the road with my prelude.
The 4gen Prelude was the value for performance
Does this Prelude come with the rear-wheel steering like the older Preludes had?

It could be the Prelude ECU tune and camshaft profile did not match the T2W4 gearbox. From my recollection the CL1 Euro R is always on vtec when you upshift. T2T4 - 3.285 - 1.956 - 1.344 - 1.034 - 0.812 - 4.266 LSD T2W4 - 3.285 - 2.090 - 1.481 - 1.071 - 0.812 - 4.266 LSD

First you have to identify the source of the noise; only then can you know what that noise is. Commin oroblem, considering the age would be shockers, bushes, or ball joints. Could be rack also.

Vtech not for Speed but for saving fuel . Actually Vtec is Viarable Valve Timing VVT Mitsubishi use Mivec other brands used VVT. Viarable Valve Timing for saving fuel. VVT has 2 cam. when low speed small cam be used. When high speed bigger cam be used. air intake get more air for combustion

Depends what application of VTEC, different Honda engines have different versions of it. H22a, b16a, b18c has 2 cam profiles. High and low, it allows you to run a high cam profile for power while keeping low end drivability with the low cam profile. D15z1 has the economy VTEC-E which is just switching between 12 and 16 valves for economy.

@@firdauskamaruzaman6714 You need to do some reading. A VTEC engine will always be more powerful than the equivalent engine with no VTEC. A turbo engine has a lot more power potential than a VTEC engine, but a turbo is not necessary to make an engine more powerful. It's just alot easier and a more efficient way to increase the power of an engine hence why it is seen alot more now.

@@firdauskamaruzaman6714 yah that's variable valve timing, but VTEC in it's performance application is variable valve time and also lift. You need to look at the application it is being used, is it a Honda jazz or a Honda type R. There's a big difference in the way it's being used there, don't just look at your text book. Look at real world applications. Have you actually driven the different VTEC and seen how they work and what is the difference in fuel consumption, power and performance despite they have similar capacity. D16y4 vs b16b, f22a vs h22a. Don't tell me h22a and b16b is for economy lol.
FWD no good.
