Hello! / My Build (pics)

Post by **TannerLDR** » Wed Apr 22, 2009 10:29 am

Hey there! Ive never really introduced myself. I bought my 240 about a year ago from my buddy. It has basically stock ka24de, Slammed on KTS coilovers, RUCAS, all the goodies for suspension Oh, also drilled and slotted rotors.

I got bored with that really easily, and im not a fan of the pignose

So far my build is a new front end and a new powerhouse ! Here are a few pics:

Thats one with the pignose

New front end, ignore the oil spills please

Theres my new motor

Anyways i forgot to mention i also like honda haha!heres a few pics of my other car...the baby NSX

this weekend im swapping motors, so i will be updating with new pics of that

That prelude looks pretty nice, I've always liked that year.

CA18DET FTW!! welcome to the dark side.

My buddy had one of those preludes back in the day. he got it for $500 and we set out to make it as fast as humanly possible without spending any money on it. I think the best we did was 14.3 in the quarter.... had to remove frickin everything to get it to do that. No dash (had a bent piece of aluminum-it was hilarious), no seats, no trim, no radio, no carpet, no anything. It was a sweet ride.

haha yes its very fun, and pretty quick for its age. For being front wheel drive, it handles great with 4ws! I got the prelude from my mom, and she is the original owner so i remember being like 5 and riding in this thing .

OH and yes, i am so glad do have gotten a ca18det! Though when it got here, the wiring harness was completely mangled . They are on the other hand, sending me new harness for free

Good engine choice, i always wanted a ca18.

Post by **bware113** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 3:04 pm

I too plan on going the CA way. 88' is a 2nd gen Prelude right? Either way it looks beautiful.

Post by **TRBOMOFO** » Tue Apr 28, 2009 3:43 pm

i like the lude very clean

i am helping my buddy put a B18 type R into his right now

Post by **TannerLDR** » Sun Sep 20, 2009 6:52 pm

I think i needed an update!

Bricks!!

For some 17x9 Sportmaxx. not too much a fan of the 926 but they were cheap!!!

Next i started some body work...Fill in the little dents and also the top body line.

Made myself a little fiberglass box for my free JL. Ill post pics of it installed later..

Next i still need to paint my car. But for now i have it primered. The color im gonna use is called abyss blue..used on the 2010 harley. Its dark blue with metal and glass shavings in it for a cool effect in the sun

Post by **TannerLDR** » Sun Sep 20, 2009 6:56 pm

Anyways....thats how it is now. What i have planned is get some tires for my wheels and paint. After that i would like to get my CA tuned and converted to MAP.

Let me know what you think!

It's looking great man! Might want to cut the bottom of the bumper for the intercooler tho. Wait a second I just realized you are realll close by! Might have to get a 240 meet going sometime.

Post by **OM3GA** » Sun Sep 20, 2009 7:45 pm

Sweet! I always thought it was weird that those preludes had 4 wheel steering lol maybe it was some sort of prototype back then unless you know of an older car with 4 wheel stearing?

Either way both are lookin clean and nice choice on the revmaster motor.

Post by **zeedakay** » Sun Sep 20, 2009 8:25 pm

how much wider is the pig nose front bumper compared to the prelude? i'm thinkin i might swap in the future

Yeah i was planning on cutting that, i also want to find a pignose lip just to cover it up haha. Hey, yeah im only like 15 mins from you let me know and i'd love to come to a meet!

Yeah it was the first car to have mechanical 4ws. I'm not sure why they got rid of it! It had faster slalom times than just about any car of its time.

Wait..you want to swap a prelude bumper onto a 240? If that's the case i doubt it would fit. Look at the difference in design in my fist picture
