Help to identify this car, tks

coolblue6699 SG

I am interested in this Honda Prelude for my second car (weekend use). I know nuts about this car, which generation of Prelude is it, how is the performance (look at engine got no Vtec on it, only written 16V), FC, reliability, can the spare part be found easily ............ etc etc Shocked

I already went down to view the car, price seems resonable (surely not 31K lar) Mr. Green

Million thanks

ops........ the link to the car is as follow

dats a 3rd gen lude. produced in the early 90s and sports a variety of engines. theres also a 2.2 H series engine and a 2.3 liter variant but i'm sure only one version comes with vtec. i'm skeptical dat spare parts are easily available though. it wasn't a particularly popular model locally and u sure wun find lots of places that carries the parts u need in the event it does break down (it IS a COE car afterall ya know)

From memory....isn't this the model where the rear wheels can be steered too? (for parking purposes?).

Maybe I remembered wrongly.....I thought that besides Citroen, this Prelude also has this feature..

Forhod SG

I also heard that preludes have 4 wheel steering system... not sure this one have or not.. Good for parking and cornering..

*Edit : Maybe this helps..

From the link provided by Forhod, it seems to be a 4th gen 2.0i 135bhp 0-100km/hr 9.8 sec auto without the 4ws.

Tks bro, yr link is very useful. At lease now I know what is the car I might be buying. Mr. Green

Forhod SG

Aye.. anytime.. Glad to be of some help. Very Happy

tailslide SG

ok, so its a 4th gen lude, produced between 1992 and 1996. confused myself with the 3rd gen teg which was produced from 94 up. but wats the deal with the Rolling Eyes ?

so much for trying 2 b helpful

coolblue6699 SG

The Rolling Eyes is for the stupid me Wink pls dont be offended, I really appreciate for all the helps here. Smile now I am trying to source for the spare parts for this car, the few workshop I went which do Honda seems to be a little negative. Any comments??

Neutral

actualli cos e vehicle a bit e long dats well got the 4w steering feature.. takes some getting used to as well

jljl SG

actually i am driving the same car but in different, nice car to drive... now that only about 10 on the road.

just watch out for rust on sunroof, have been waiting for my replacement for months..

tailslide SG

not offended, juz puzzled at ur reaction.

told u wat. this car wasn't particularly popular with the local market then, perhaps due to the presence of the eg6 which were faster and more affordable. finding spare parts would pose the most problem in the event something breaks.

ceecookie SG

I think there’s a new model coz i saw a prelude with the 4 brakes Brembos weeks back…..

tailslide SG

ever heard about "caliper covers" before? Laughing

coolblue6699 SG

ha ha ha you very bad leh, maybe ppl really go change leh Mr. Green

but indeed I saw a gen 5 prelude running around near AMK industrial park 2.

coolblue6699 SG

So nice to find another owner Exclamation

Can tell me other than the rust problem, anything about the car that borthers you?? eg. high FC, small but irritating probelm here and there (power window, central lock, unknow sound.........etc) Mad

Where you service your car?? where to get spare parts?? MILLIONS THANKS!!!! Mr. Green
