Okay soo i dont know sh*t...

lol we cleared that up, but i would like to know
i suppose i could be classed as knowing a few things, well anyways i am new to the scene or what ever you call it, and id liek to get into it, but not too sure what the best way to go about it.
I curreently own a 93, Prelude, and wouldnt mind, doing it up.
What are some basic starter tips you can give, on what i should do / get to enhance my car, im after preformance i suppose like most people
so what have you got for me?

Basic starter tip: The "Search" button is your friend. It makes you fireproof. :wink:

Welcome aboard.

best thing to do is to read and learn the basics before asking questions.
cos i have seen some new people ask really stupid questions and they get flamed ops:

the search button is really good, its always good to have a search on the site before asking questions



a good thing to do on your prelude is a decent alarm.

then do your intake, extractors and exhaust system.



for your intake, make sure it can get cold air.
extractors... TRR ones from Beyond are quite good. go for 4-1 extractors if you can find some.
exhaust system, get a 2.25" or 2.5" custom exhaust system.


then do your suspension.
if you are purely for looks, then just get some lowering springs. these wont really increase your handling though.
if you get some proper coilover suspension, it will make your car handle better and quicker acceleration. these cost more than your ordinary lowering springs.

sweet thanks for the heads up

In general decent lowering springs/ with good shocks will make your car handle better then most coilover setups. It is because you have to get the car onto some corner weights to set them up coilovers accurately. I think for road use good shocks and lowering springs are about as good as you can get without, access the corner weights.

what you can do is to first make your car brake better, a simple pad and fluid upgrade will do wonders.

give your car a good oil flush and change, and replace all your fluids, as most people only change oil every 15000km. i.e. gearbox oil, clutch fluid, radiator fluid etc.

then to improve handling and looks a set of mag wheels will do wonders, as long as you get decent ($200+) tyres, couple this with a set of lowered springs, and adjustable shocks.

then get nawwws, a t-88-34d turbo, and a fibreglass fully tubbed front end for a 9s drag car.

Have a search on www.honda-tech.com that place is FULL of usefull knowladge. you can read on there for hours and hours on end if your dedicated. Been there done that

hours and hours on end sounds kinda boring :p

I concur. Put "reputable, insurance company approved, car alarm/immobiliser" at the top of your list.

Why spend $1000s of dollars on a car and then rely on $50 parts to keep it safe? You won't regret it
