Anyone who stances their car.

Last year I bought a 2001 Honda Prelude with a terribly knocking motor. It had already been rebuilt, very poorly, by a shop that had no idea what it was doing. I saw potential in the car so I saved it from a trip to the junkyard. I swapped out the original H22A4 engine for a JDM H23 VTEC engine from a 1999 Accord…

1997-2001 Honda Prelude SH. They had a complex, failure-prone torque vectoring system. Rather than dealing with the headache of trying to fix it, many owners have just swapped out the transmission instead.

I’ve…

Honda is making a new S2000 with a mid-mounted Civic Type R drivetrain.

2001 Prelude. I’ve had a replacement OEM front bumper and fenders since New Years for it. On it now are some off-brand ones that a previous owner put on it when it hit a ditch. (I assume the carbon fiber hood came at the same time.) The bumper has a few cracks and the non-galvanized fenders have a few rust bubbles.…
