You can only imagine my ecstasy when I got the money together and found a very well preserved 5th gen EDM 2.0i prelude here in Serbia. I am in love. I feel like I've completed the final mission. The car is just wonderful. Much love to all the enthusiasts out there, whatever you drive, love it, drive it, take care of it and share the love.

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.

Just bought a 5th gen prelude. Genuinely the most fun car I’ve ever owned, with new headers, intake, exhaust, and cams. Definitely the best bang for your buck in the twisties outside of a Miata.

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!

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.

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😄

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'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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

A prelude clean for 5k? Haha where

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.

Then i picked my girlfriend up and said "shall we see what its got" and absolutely floored it, it blew us back in our seats and both our faces opened up. When we slowed down she looked me and said "you are literally going to kill yourself in this" That car beat everything, subarus, evos, fastest mercs of the day, civics, i never lost a single race, i was street racing weekly in it. The guy prior must have done something to it because it was so fucking fast. Only issue was it burnt oil almost as fast as petrol and i had to top up 2 litres of oil a week. It was forever running low on oil, after 4 years it blew up and i sold it for £1200 to a scottish guy who some how drove it all the way home to fucking scotland doing 30 mph in a fucked engine rofllll. That cas was just amazing, such character, when you were behind people they got out the fucking way quick and it sounded like a super car when VTECH hit, hairs stood on end and it never got old! It dicked all over civics and integras, i cant bring myself to buy a new civic cas i know il be dissapointed after experiencing the prelude.

I always LOVED the prelude, especially the 4th gen! I will own one some day! I currently have a 2002 accord with the A4 2.3l. its a fun little car and it can take twisty turny roads around my town easily at 70-80 mph. I'm building it up a little bit.

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

I had a '92 (4th gen) prelude with an H22 (200hp) swap including the short ratio gearbox and the LSD. I would hit vtec in that car daily and delivered pizzas in it and painted it up when i got married and had all my most fun driving moments in that car. It was SO fast, almost out dragging a newer heavier Z, usually beating the snot out of anything else that wasn't turboed or a muscle car in the early and mid 00's. Even though it was red it was still a beat up ol' honda that no one saw coming, since I didn't change ANYTHING else about the car. I miss my old lcd dash, that vtec kick and having a real small car. For your other channel (btw you just got 2 new subs for that great video) I'm REAL into FH5 and def need an excuse to play wreckfest after all these years of having it since beta. I'm pretty good but not like, manual gearbox good, which is weird bc ALL my personal cars have been manual. Hit me up if you're playin either on steam!

I drove nothing but Preludes for over 20 years. Owned a 3rd gen in high school, sold it, and bought a brand new 2001 5th gen Type SH. I also, bought a 2nd gen a few years later, followed by another beautiful white 1991 Si 3rd gen Prelude. I owned 3 different gens at one point, and loved every second of it. Sold my 5th gen 15 years later for almost 10K, that's how beautiful and perfect that car still was. Man I loved those days... Nowadays it's Preludes are very hard to find in good condition.

Back in 2007 while I was working at honda, my son was born. Also, I bought a 99 prelude. It had been in the shop with a blown engine. Original owner, second blown engine. So naturally I offered to buy the car, and got it for about 2K Canadian, so 500 American. Ordered a jdm engine(2K), and with help from a young tech I worked with, got it going. To this day, it was the nicest, most fun car I've ever owned, and I regret ever selling it. I still have a couple low quality videos doing some 0-60's and a couple highway pulls. Will show my son some day, haha. Honda chose the name Prelude to sybolize the vehicle acting as a platform for new technology.

I've owned three Preludes: (1) The 1979 Prelude was my first car at 16 years old. (2) In 1992, I bought a brand new 4th-gen black Si. (The video incorrectly says the 4th gen was released in 1993.) (3) In 1993, they released the VTEC, so I traded in the year-old 92 Si for a VTEC in Brittany Blue-Green Metallic, an exclusive color for the VTEC. It also had aftermarket black leather seats, installed by a third party hired by the dealership. What a gorgeous car! I paid $18,000 for it.

Notification squad!

I had a green 95 prelude SE and I am so nostagic when i think of that car. Beautiful in so many ways. I got so many looks and offers to buy it from me. Such a beauty to behold. from its sleek exterior to its spaceship wraparound dash on the inside. What a gem.

Nobody cared because of the Acura Integra. The Integra was a great car. The 91 Integra was so awesome and that is just the LS. I have never even been in a GSR. But the LS was so good. Those long gears really made you feel how good that B18 was at high RPMs.

Underrated? Dude. The prelude was every ricers dream car!

Gran Turismo 2 on Ps1 in that plum metallic purple was my first introduction to Prelude. (Back then in 2002, I owned an 85' Corolla AE-82 that my mom gave me when she got her newer corolla. It had the 4-AgE in it but it was set sideways and FWD, so I got into FWD cars trying to convince everyone that FWD cars were cool...now I'll never own another front drive car. My daily is an Explorer and my "play around" car is a 99' C230k)

My first car was a 1986 Prelude 2.0 Si and it was awesome still in 2002 when I was 16. It handled so nice and was super fun to drive and I smashed it all over the Bay Area hills and Canyons.

I owned 3 Preludes in my lifetime. Got my first one as a senior in high school. It was a 1st gen 1980 model. I thought I was so cool driving that car. My second Prelude was a 1988 Prelude Si 4WS. The 4 wheel steering was awesome. People often asked me to show them the rear wheels turning. It was a trip and in low speed situations, it really came in handy. I'm actually disappointed that the 4 wheel steering technology didn't catch on. My final Prelude was a 1994 Prelude VTEC. In its day, it was a quick car. I have driven nothing but Hondas and Acuras since my very first 1980 Honda Prelude. I'm currently driving my 19th car which happens to be a '20 Accord Touring 2.0T. Love this car and have always loved Hondas/Acuras. I would be very interested in seeing what Honda would/could do with a modern version of the Prelude.

I remember test driving a new 4th Gen Prelude with my landlady, her idea. She couldn't drive a stick but liked the car, so convinced the dealer to let the two of us take a test drive alone. I drove the crap out of it and she had great fun. That thing could really handle and go.

Prelude SI 4th Gen most def underrated ❤️❤️

I remember buying my 89 Prelude. Power windows, sun roof iconic headlights 😍😍 can't recall how many miles was on it but damn that car was fun as hell to drive

The H22 is an awesome motor and quite frankly it's underrated and/ or slept on. I remember in the early 2000's, lots of my buddies were ranting and raving over B16 and B18 swaps, I have nothing wrong with that, but I blew up the conversation by my suggestion of an H22 swap into my buddy's EG Civic. They all laughed at me, mostly because the Prelude did get hate.

Love the 4th gen. Had a 1992 accord and swapped the f22 with the 92 prelude h22a. Little do people know, o ly in 1992 did the h22a(1) come as a closed deck, every h22 after was open deck. The a1 is the most solid of them all allowing for more herse pers!

I had the 4th gen. It was black 1993 Prelude SR-V (Canadian version of the Vtec) with H22A1 engine back in college. Great car, drove it to over 300k miles. I powder coated the engine cover red, and got the K&N air intake and exhaust (typical rice upgrades). Beautiful machine. But then I upgraded to a 2001 BMW 330Ci, it was better in every way. But then I upgraded to a 2008 BMW M5. Crazy car, but too many issues. Then I had a Honda CBR600RR bike for 1 season...fun but too scary. Then I got a 2010 BMW Z4 sdrive35i convertible. That was fun, but too small. Then I got a 2018 Lincoln SUV and I enjoy that to this day lol. Now I'm shopping for a Macan Turbo because I like to get back to sportiness yet practicality.

Had a prelude 2.0si in high school. it suprised so many people, really miss that car, was my first running car i owned. my dad got if off a work buddy that was in the process of making it a weekend race car lol.

97 Prelude SH owner of 14 years. H22a "red top" swapped now and still getting thumbs up every couple weeks or less. Still love looking at this car even after all this time. Honda, bring the prelude back please. 358k on the odometer, don't know how much more she has

I sold Honda's at a dealership back in the day the lude's were out, Loved the 4th gen si, sold one to a knock-out fit girl for her college graduation present, and she asked me out the following week. This is why I LOVE 4th gen. lude's The 5th gen. lease with no money down was $179.99/mo 2yr/12k yr, residual was 93% with a super low money factor. Sold plenty of these 5th gen, and the noise from the vtec cam after 5500rpms....was awesome!

Still have my 1991 Honda Prelude 2.0Si manual transmission. Currently daily driving it & I LOVE this car. Debating whether to rebuild the B20A5 or swap in a H23VTEC & show love to the chassis. Either way, it’s never going to leave my ownership. Might look into getting a 4th or 5th gen eventually

If you're going to swap, see if a 3.2L V6 from an Acura TL fits.

Australia here. I have driven the 5th Gen Prelude, but I prefer the 3rd Gen as it is really cool looking and with 4 wheel steer they go around corners like nothing else. Mine is an '89 model 4ws with the 6BA engine, auto, white with a grey interior, 225,000 km. They cost $45,000 auD here in 1989. I bought mine as a one owner from a 91 yrld dude.

I have a 1998 5th Generation Honda Prelude and it’s the 💕Love💕 of my life. I really wish they Still made The Honda Prelude. I get so many compliments on it & people want to buy it. I think the Body Style is Timeless. Thank You for Airing this segment on a truly Beautiful Car 💕🤗💕

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

5th gen owner since 2K...And I agree with the prelude being the Black sheep of the honda family... I still have mine and love it till the day I die...

I had a '01 for 7 years and it was a treat everyday to drive. That VTEC and handling was bonkers

One of my first cars was a '94 Prelude VTEC and to this day it's the most fun little car I've ever owned.

Just found it in recommentations. What I expected (and what I got) is a story about a magnificent masterpiece from Honda. I always cry when I hear about Japanese cars of the 90s. The Golden Age we lost... What I didn't expect - 'do svidaniya' at the end of the video))

i own a 97’ 5th gen manual prelude i bought in 2017 Ontario /L.A . i constantly get asked if i “sell it” & i always say NO ! i saved up $1 by $1 in high school just to get the car i wanted . By this , i had observed many of honda cars that most typical people get like the EG/EK ( which i call mini egors ) , Civics , RSX’s , Del Sol’s , integras , bla bla . i wanted something different & unique ! also to mention preludes aren’t even seen often so when im out in the street i always get necks broken & its usually older heads telling me they like my car & saying they wish they got it when they were younger. Preludes are a gem so i told myself im never letting my baby go no matter if im old . ill be old & still have the prelude you wanted 😂 ahh such a great car despite its oil burning issue

I had a 91 prelude si. Lowered with the original rims, a loud exaust, stereo.. What else could a teenager want,I loved that Damm thing

In the year 2000 I was 18, worked construction and financed a 1994 Prelude. Unfortunately I didn’t know a manual transmission was a lot better but the thing did carve the mountains in Sonoma very well.

I owned a 2nd and a 4th gen in my lifetime. Last time I was at a Honda dealership the 24 year old salesman never even heard of a Prelude. 😮‍💨

I had a '95 Twin Turbo Supra, and in 1998, contemplating a long commute needing a car that was cheaper per mile, I test-drove this '93-95 (4th-gen?) Prelude. Granted not fast, but the handling was excellent. It reminded me of riding a good road bicycle, where you almost lean into turns. It was a revelation in steering and handling for me.
