ya... the prelude stopped in 2001 with that freakin SH type... It makes 5th (i think) generation manuals very rare and I just HAVE TO HAVE ONE.
I did my research... a H22 prelude engine with a jackson racing supercharger, CAI, headers, exhaust, pullies, cams, port, maybe some other stuff, racing transmission, and maybe alittle help from NOS (probably a 75+ shot) and we are talking about a 450HP+ machine.... God i want one...
My goal in life is to make a prelude that leave Vipers in the dust. ...might need a new engine in it... but preludes have big engine bays...

Yes, its a shame, but the lude is looking dated don't you all think? Its an awesome ride though, handles great and great power....just needed a newer body style and I think the sales would have been much stronger...

That's what happens to a Honda that gets outsold by the Insight.

There is no way you're going to get 400 hp on a Prelude without some serious engine rebuilding. I know guys with the JRSC on their Lude and on stock internals they're getting at most 220-230 hp to the wheels.

What is Honda going to use to replace the sporty Prelude? Surely not the S2000, it's an entirely different price range. Most every line has a sporty car. Acura has the RSX, Hyundai has a Tiburon, etc etc. At one point they had the CRX and the Prelude. Now they have like, none. I know the Ludes haven't sold much lately, and maybe they'll cut their losses and use the money they save to make a new sporty coupe.

Supposedly for 2003 or later Honda is supposed to "mesh" the lude into the Accord.
