This thing’s a beater. It’s only got 175k miles, but the clutch is about gone and the engine keeps stalling. Owned by a tech at a Honda dealer, the trunk is full of genuine Honda parts...

But it looks good inside...

As with all CST installations, the wrinkles will fall out in a week or two.

I really wan to do a RWD conversion and a turbo K20 swap on of these bad lads. I think this is the most attractive cars Honda ever built, yes better looking than NSX.

Fail wheel drive is the only issue I have with this car. It just looks like a RWD sports coupe and then its not. I still want to drive one though to give it a chance.

Looks good. Much better than the OEM ones.

Old Hondas with double wishbone suspensions handle great, especially when you add an LSD to the mix.

Nooo the fuzzy cloth seats make these the most comfy and butt holding seats ever.

The fuzzy cloth seats in this one were a bit... destroyed. Foam was showing through and all that.

They’re better than the OEM (dealer-installed) leathers, which were crap, but if I could fit my TSX seats into mine, I think I would. Maybe mine are just wearing out...

Oh dude but wouldn’t the TSX seats ride much higher up? The Prelude seats don’t have much height to them.

Supposedly this is one of the best handling FWD cars of all time, if equipped with the passive rear steering option.

Yeah, and they’re electric, so they’re not really compatible anyway.

It’s good to see one that’s not looking like a car from the Fast and Furious movies

This generation didn’t have the 4WS option in the US (and where it did sell it was notorious for being failure-prone). It did have a torque vectoring system available, though.
