1988 Honda Prelude Si 4WS review from North America
"Road course with 4WS sweet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering going because of leak, but a bottle of Lucas power steering fixed it.
Hoses are expensive.
Needs a hood; mine is a little crinkled.
Has rust, but fixable.
General comments?
Very good performance. 3rd gear tops out at 88mph without pushing to red line. NO stability issues until you hit 130 mph then it starts to lift. Drive safely please.
I have already broken 2 drivers side outer axles. 5th gear 6200rpm is 130mph, red line is 7200.
