[D-Man]

No, the blue is the JDM Accord SIR

[1-Bar]

[Primer_Drift]

The F20B is blue as is the H23a(vtec), H22a type S I have seen only in red.

yes, i would also like a type-s (red) valve cover.

[MM99lude]

ok i have a serious question.

does anybody else get that odd clutch noise when the car is cold and u are just taking off in first gear? it doesnt happen often just maybe 1/50 times but its just a little weird. I think i've heard of this problem before maybe some of you guys have some insight?

[vtec]

ya i get it when the car is cold..

[red99600]

no one needs an AEM CAI?

[X_plorer]

Just wondering how many people have had their moonroof motor go? Mine closes so pitifully slooooowwwww...... as well does anyone else have issues with the trim around the windshield, it does this funky thing after you wash the car where it lifts up and refuses to lay flat even if you fold it under again.

Was just curious as the car needs to go in for a bunch of minor issues all under warranty still.

[buh_buh]

my sunroof skips.
Honda will just lube the rails up and send you on your way. But it'll happen again in a couple weeks.

May as well take it in while you still have the warranty

[CRXguy]

I'm not sure if this works on the Prelude, but on CRX's you just take the switch out and clean the backside. Dirt builds up and causes the switch to act funky. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but it works. Got this from Honda-Tech.

[X_plorer]

Sweet, have to love those temporary fixes. The damn thing closes so slow it almost doesn't move at all, it gets to the point where you have to grab it and and push it along before it gets going. Can't be good for the motor.

[buh_buh]

if your motor's dying you should just take it to the dealer so they'll give you a new one. That way you don't have to clean it up yourself haha.

[lude_grl]

can i help whore this thread.. i have one of them prelude things...

but its a 4th gen

[5gluder]

I had the dealership replace mine, it costed somewhere around 1100 for everything. It was covered by the warranty though :thumbsup:

Yeah, I have this problem too, even the trim on the car roof does this aswell... Anyone know how you can fix this?

[MM99lude]

wow 1100 thats pricey, then again thats stealership pricing for you. Mine has yet to put up and fuss. i grease every once in a while, it squicked for a bit but that got rid of that problem.

[buh_buh]

have you had any problems with it since? If not I might bring my car to the dealership for a first second time

[5gluder]

Nope, works perfect. Still slides and closes like it's brand new. I had it replaced in 2002. It had actually started to stop working or got stuck while i was closing it. I had to bang on the sunroof to get it going.:nut:

[vtec]

so how many preludes in calgary do we have that are boosted?
which kit?
how much psi?

[D-Man]

I dont have a problem with my sunroof opening or closing but I do get the "clunk" noise when it closes.

I usually try to give the sunroof rails a good cleaning once a year and a heavy dose of lithium grease.

[1-Bar]

Originally posted by buh_buh

I think your boost will null the warranty....hahhaa

Mine takes forever to open/close, has anyone ever used the manual crank to open/close the roof??

[Mr.Touchdown]

does anyone want my stock springs and suspention? need to get rid of it 250$ to anyone who wants it. its in emaculate condition.

[red99600]

i need the 97-01 prelude driver side a-pillar
i have one with a dual gauge pod for trade if interested
otherwise, i am interested in buying an a-pillar

anyone have

stock exhaust and header?

stock rims?

pls email [email protected]

[rip]

I'm looking for a replacement Upper grille. Something that looks like this less the Type R badge, and for a prelude of course. Does anyone know where i could find this?

http://images.andale.com/f2/112/106/16668214/1111311758169_HG_CV99_TRr.jpg

[buh_buh]

sorry dude nobody makes one.

[rip]

Well shitty, what do you guys have? Do you just have your stock ones still? Mine really looks out of place with all of the other silver mesh.

I might just try making one myself i guess.

[buh_buh]

just paint your oem one silver.

[rip]

Ya I've thought of doing that too.

[Northy]

Thought i'd join the thread...since it's 7 pages long:D

Just vouching for the clutch noice when the car is cold...But i havn't noticed it for a long time now..And also...my sunroof opens and closes fine as for the speed...but when it closes..it seems like it's missaligned....kinda loud when it closes..But other days, it's really quiet.
If you guys are still up for a meet..I'll try make it down for it..but no promises. Might have to take the Type R spoiler off before i go..(sounds like you folk are non-spoiler kinda people :D , but each to his own, i like it for now)

[X_plorer]

Depends on the spoiler, I have the sort of whale-tail one on mine, the wide low one that sits off the back of the trunk. Looks awesome. As for the wings, kind of iffy on those. Especially those double decker ones.

[MM99lude]

i dont much like the WW spoiler. the best spoiler for the lude is by far the mugen or OEM one.

But i really do like it without a spoiler.

I think i'll be sporting that once something else comes in;)

[Primer_Drift]

Not quite true, I have seen a mugen prelude grill insert..
Not too sure whether is part of the bumper or seperate, but I believe it was a seperate molding from what I remember of their Japanese website about 5 years ago..
here it is :bigpimp:

Edit: Ah nm, he wanted the chickenwire look :P

i have both.

anyone want to sell me an OEM style carbon fibre hood?

[Skyline_Addict]

i would also like an exhaust.
pm me :)

[D-Man]

I have the OEM spoiler but I also like the mugen replica whale tale. With my gemini CF trunk coming soon, I'll be spoilerless...

For the grille, I swapped my oem one with the 97 one. I had it painted to match. I looks so much cleaner than the honeycomb grille.

[ryder_23]

you have any pictures?

real mugen is a seperate piece, replica mugen is part of the bumper....real mugen piece only fits mugen bumper..

hope that helps....

[buh_buh]

:werd: ^

Mugen bumper insert will only fit on Mugen bumper... so you pretty much have to get a real Mugen bumper to use that insert (which comes with the kit and not sold separate)

[D-Man]

Isn't the Mugen bumper insert real brushed aluminum

[buh_buh]

yes

[Skyline_Addict]

how does the mugen bumper look without the jdm fog lights in? i'm thinking of getting just the bumper as the fog lights are really really pricey. can a grill make it look alright?

[D-Man]

Here is the link to my photo album. Click HERE (http://www.imagestation.com/album/index.html?id=3419270093)

It's a work in progress...

[rc2002]

You could always fabricate some mugen covers to cover up the foglights. :D

[1-Bar]

^ real mugen covers cover both fog light location/turn signal.....could you use the stock 'vents' instead??

Did you check out the Fibre Images hood at TW? That's a sweet deal (it's below their cost). Most people are selling cheaper brands for just a touch less than that....

And about the paint. If you're painting anyway, you might want to consider buying a kit. You'll probably wind up with one sooner or later! hehe. And you can part back to bone stock if you don't paint your stock parts. My $0.02

[red99600]

please email me and leave me your phone number

okay....serious question: anyone know where I can by the kit to be able to fit the euro accord-r intake manifold onto my lude h22??

[Primer_Drift]

If you're doing it for the single runner design why not go with the skunk2 IM? I've seen the install for the Euro manifold, and it seemed a bit much.

H-T link (http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=337920)

[rc2002]

Did you try aj-racing? They might have the kit. I know they sell the manifold.

[D-Man]

I thought it was just alot of grinding away excess pieces and re-working coolant lines and stuff.

I'm hoping that James will eventually sell me his, hahaha

Chris, you should get the Skunk2 Piece...I mean you lose your cold idle but the gains I feel would be far more worth it...especially with your plans down the road...


But if I get rid of my manifold you can have it...

[D-Man]

Does the Skunk2 IM still have problems or are they beginning to clear those up?

I'd get the skunk2 IM, but you know me, I'm a bitch for OEM/JDM/Eruo (I guess) Honda parts....its a little bit cheaper too and its rare....

btw what IM do you have?? I thought your headwork was all factory h22??

design is H22 based...which means I can use the H series toys...but...the Manifold is a Euro R one...

[vtec]

what do you guys think of the rev hard stage 2 kit for the 5th gen?
reliable?
safe?

[buh_buh]

how reliable and safe is really dependent on who's tuning your car, and not really the kit.
If your going to be using a FMU and missing link, then I would say any kit is unreliable and unsafe using that setup

[vtec]

so say if i got someone who knows what their doing with either hondata or uberdata, i should be fine?

[buh_buh]

yes

Anyways, does anyone know the average amount of time it'll take a mechanic to swap trannies on a 5th gen lude? I know Chris is going to do his himself, but I'm taking my girlfriends' to a shop, and I want to make sure she's not going to get ripped off on labour charges. It's a straight tiptronic swap. I've heard varied opinions....ranging from 5h to 10h.

do any of you guys have the grill off japan preludes (it says prelude on the left, like the one in my sig if you can see). if so, where'd you get it locally?

[buh_buh]

its not a JDM grill, its on the 99-01 ludes. 97-98 got the line in the middle and 99-01 had the honeycomb grills

is that right? i always thought it was a jdm thing. know where i can get one kevin?

[buh_buh]

dealership? Or steal it off the bumper in my garage? haha.
Just try buying it off someone with a 99+ Prelude or see if they're willing to swap.

i like the idea most of stealing it from you :)
