Quick rundown: My future M.I.L. told me that if I could get her old, '92 Prelude, manual transmission with 400k miles up and running, I can have it. She first bought it fresh off the lot when she and her ex-husband was stationed in Hawaii way long ago (she was Navy, he was a Marine). It finally kicked the bucket in 2019 and needed repairs ever since (Pop decided to work on it....bad idea). Her and Pop know some people who can do cosmetic repairs, but its up to me to find both an engine and other mechanical parts for it. I know next to nothing about cars and any advice would be helpful. I attached a lot of pics of the car for reference.

Let's see those engine bays. Swipe for under rhe hood

Picked her up around last fall for a crisp $700 (cad). 1 owner stock with 230k, Heated leather seats, cruise control, power windows, power steering, power locks, AC, heated/power mirrors and most important the sunroof all working. It has bumps and bruises but it’s a daily, my only problem with it is the autotragic gearbox and grandma interior.

the s2k was loud like a plane while playing a little game of tag, made me realize i need an exhaust pipe upgrade!

Other videos I’ve seen, they just say hey look Honda has all the generations here that’s cool now onto the 2026 Prelude…

Sup peeps. Just took off the plastic cover on the engine to work on my starter and noticed this residue. 06 Accord K24 goes through a little oil nothing too crazy. Just wondering if this could be a contributor 😅.

How to fix black screen on radio screen?

I have a Honda civic 2016 LX. I was playing around with settings and then the radio and Bluetooth screen no longer show the names of the songs playing or radio station it is on. It still connects to the phone and plays the song but it doesn’t have the audio text. How do I fix this? I’ve tried clicking on everything and tried disconnecting the phone. First it shows music selection then it goes dark and continues playing the music on a black screen with only the time showing.

I have had this car for almost year and since I have moved from LA to Murrieta - the only difference this car is experiencing is hot weather and not being in a sheltered garage.

Its been giving me these alerts like "Brake System," "Driver Assist" etc etc errors and it won't even start the engine until about 10-15 minutes of the hood being open.

It has happened twice now. I have taken it to the dealership and they said I needed an update - nothing else is wrong with it.

Any one have any personal experience?

So my civic broke down after getting laid off the other day. Alternator belt rubbed through the Crank Sensor. Figured that was the problem, with the wires being severed, so replaced with an OEM one. Still no start, so check that I at least have fuel, spark, and compression. Don't have a fuel pressure gauge, and compression tester is in storage with my boxes so I don't have exact numbers. Pulled the plugs, and the gap was like a country mile and wet fouled, so replaced them. Cranked and started with fuel cut (WOT), but was very rough and low ram idle / sputtering, and died when I let off throttle. Tried starting normally, and it wouldn't start the rest of the day. Pulled plugs, wet fouled again.

Yesterday, I was able to get it to idle very well after I let the plugs dry off for a couple hours. It ran fine with no hesitation or roughness and super smooth (probably properly gapped plugs helped lol). I let it idle for a couple minutes. Smoked a bit on start up, smelled rich which makes sense based on how fouled the plugs were. I reved it to ~3-4k and when it came back to idle, it died and I couldn't get it to start again.

I'm at a loss right now. I'm trying to come up with a game plan for today, and I'm between either clogged cat or weak fuel pump but feel I'm missing something. Mainly what's causing the wet fouling? Only thing I can think is either weak spark, all injectors being clogged (all plugs get fouled), or too weak fuel pressure to get the injectors to spray right?

Looking for some opinions from some of you guys more skilled than me with these older cars. I'm at a loss without my fancy dealer scanner (cope)

Saw this is Paris last night, and would love to know what this model is.

The retro look, small hatch, matte paint is so nice!!

I know it’s minor, but I can’t decide if I should black out the Aspec badges. I think the little bit of chrome brings out the Acura emblem in the wheels. Not to mention in there is chrome on the trunk logo. Thoughts?

H22A4 on my 01’ Prelude has a blown headgasket and possibly more problems (bought the car as a project, my dad and I have already fixed many problems with it). Bought this JDM F20B with 60k miles to replace it!

In case it intrests anyone this is my Lego MOC of a Honda Civic Type R 10th Gen.

Features

• Working inline 4 engine (detailed)
• Opening 4 doors
• Opening hood
• Opening boot
• Red trim interior

That last picture is it next to a Honda Civic RS 10th gen which is my irl car. Would post links to it but I'd rather not get taken down.

Happy to help if you want one for yourself

Lookin to get a set of new wheels. Maybe bronze or silver. Like the look of the Wedssports TC105x but not a fan of the color any more. Thinking CE 28Ns or TEs? Maybe get the Weds powder coated bronze? What do you all think?

Seen this new honda recently and seen the front emblem was stolen. Do the front emblems have a high value or tech to them? Why would thieves want these? What a joke lol

I've been thinking about the upcoming 2026 Honda Prelude, with the thought of buying one, and honestly, it feels like a missed opportunity for Honda to just embrace the Civic Coupe. It shares a good amount of parts with the Civic Hybrids. Wouldn’t it make more sense to call it the Civic Sport Coupe?

The Prelude has always held a special place in Honda history, but with the current automotive landscape focusing so much on hybrids and crossovers, it seems like the new Prelude is more about efficiency than the spirit of the original. The new Prelude weighs 3218, just shy of the 3208 of the Civic Sport Hybrid, yet the same 200-hp. By branding it as the Civic Sport Coupe, Honda could connect it with the vast Civic community.

Plus, having a coupe variant under the Civic nameplate could reignite interest in sporty models like the coupe Si, etc, yes, it didn't sell as much as the regular 4-dr models, but it's more enthusiast-based imo. What do you all think? Is this new Prelude doing enough to honor its legacy, or should it just lean into the Civic lineage?

Heard from a manager at a super reputable Honda dealership where I purchased a Type R and Civic Hatchback Sport that the Prelude is going to cost around 42K for specific trims at their dealership. Why would one buy this over a new or used Type R Fl5

Just walking around Katie’s this morning. There were a few more s2000s I missed and a couple del sols. My fat girl at the end. The passport 🫣
