1991 Honda Prelude Si review from Japan
"Happiness is around the corner. Sega!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator caught on fire.
Harmonic balancer pulley came off.
A/C unit speed sensor failed.
Engine burns lots of oil.
The valve clearance need to be adjusted frequently.
CV joints replaced.
Right head lamp retractor motor corroded - replaced.
Driver's side door won't close right, needs adjusting.
All problems got repaired and/or replaced.
General comments?
This car handles real good, thanks to the 4 wheel steering, and high performance suspension - Tokico Illumina, Cusco tie bars (front and rear) and OZ F1 Cup wheels. A sure footed car. Car to driver feedback is excellent.
Ergonomics are outstanding. Fit and finish are excellent.
Attention to detail by the manufacturer is really good for a sports compact car.
1991 Honda Prelude 4WS Si. Great and fun to drive car!
