1996 Honda Prelude SiR review from UK and Ireland
"It's fast, powerful and Mine!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The automatic transmission needed to be overhauled at 138000 kms, revs were flaring before banging into gear, very costly repair.
The 4 wheel steering had electrical problems which was repaired at low cost.
Also i replaced engine mounts and rear wheel bearings.
General comments?
The Honda Prelude is a seriously quick car, it responds to anything I expect from it.
My car is fitted with a sports flywheel, gear cams, V2 induction kit, sports fuel injected intake manifold, ceramic 4-2-1 exhaust manifold with a strait trough exhaust system, vtec controller and the ECU is chipped to give out 400 bhp.
The interior is full black leather seats, steering wheel and gearshift knob.
Included is wood trim, digital climate control, 3 TV's, DVD MP3 CD player.
The performance on this car is second to none. Honda knew what they were doing when they built this car.
