AzCivic 03-01-2005 05:27 PM

Neat indeed, BUT I couldn't just buy the swap I had to buy the whole car ;)


Fatal070 03-01-2005 07:01 PM

HAHAH :D Get some more pics up it looks great from what I see!

AzCivic 03-01-2005 07:24 PM

thanks, here's some more:

Its a 1999 non-SH with 55,500miles w/ near mint interior/exterior. I wanted something newer with a little more pep, and of course reliability was key as was price.

i'm gonna either sell my civic or my wife's cavalier, depending on whether or not i can get her to learn standard.

KwikR6 03-01-2005 08:16 PM

Nice lude man.
Congrats
She'll like th standard after she lears to use it

Fatal070 03-01-2005 08:43 PM

I love when VTEC kicks in, in the prelude its just crazy! SOUNDS a bit different from and B....

pdiggitydogg 03-01-2005 08:47 PM

ah the clever trickery ;)
Nice dude

IALuder 03-01-2005 08:54 PM

nice. make her learn how to drive stick. you will be a lot happier in the long run too ;)

nice car. i want one too.

AzCivic 03-01-2005 10:16 PM

hondaman: :D

thanks everyone, i always used to hear "when my vtec kicks in blah, blah" i always thought it was a gross exaggeration, but damn you really do feel it.

most likely she'll be learning standard cause that damn cavalier has been nothing but trouble and its only a '99.

i keep telling myself i'm not going to do anything to the car, then i start to think well some koni's would be nice and a quaife/aftermarket clutch would be cool then all of a sudden i'm thinking i/h/e, cams, etc.

Yeah H series VTEC engagement isn't quite as smooth or quiet as B series...but it sure does kick ass..and you can feel it a bit.

ChrisCantSkate 03-02-2005 09:56 AM

Dude...you know you can't escape! Even if you tell yourself "NO...just some shocks..." You'll buy a header or intake. And then why stop there?
You know its going to happen anyways...just give in! :D

AzCivic 03-02-2005 11:48 AM

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!

the thing is though, is that i regret most of the stuff i did with the civic so it makes me not want to do anything to the lude. then again mods on the prelude would probably actually make the car pretty quick, where as on the civic it made it slightly faster and alot louder.

CD5Passion 03-02-2005 12:36 PM

first time I've seen this thread, but nice Lude man...i really wish i had one or hell a h22 would be dandy with me.

either way I'm jealous

pdiggitydogg 03-02-2005 02:04 PM

Im slowly making my car quiet again.
By putting the stock airbox on the sri arm I lost some noise. When I (eventually) put the super turbo on I'll lose some more.
If anything....add some cams!

AzCivic 03-02-2005 04:19 PM

yeah cams would be cool will they jack up the idle? the regular lobes should be pretty mild but still, i absolutly hate a jacked up idle like what my damn civic has 50% of the time. i need to hit the junkyard and get a stock i/h/e for that thing.

Well designed cams shouldn't screw with your idle. They'll probably change it a little, like give it a little bit more of a lope, but nothing you couldn't live with. Especially if the grinds are more mild.

AzCivic 03-03-2005 08:25 AM

yeah i'd really like to but i just don't know, we'll see.
