| I have a 97 Honda Prelude. I want to install a cold air intake. What is the best intake for my car and how much should I expect to pay. | |
7 years ago today (4/27/02) I took delivery of my Prelude. 110,000 miles later and I'm still smiling.

Replying to: shmang (Apr 28, 2009 6:03 pm) I plan to keep my Prelude as a daily driver for at least another 3 years, until it is 10 years old. Right now my short list for my next vehicle are: MINI Cooper S - Black/Black 6 speed manual BMW 135i - Space Grey/Red Leather 6 speed manual Porsche Cayenne S - I'd have to pick this up as a CPO or DEMO, the only car I'd ever consider driving that's an automatic. How's your M45 doing?

All 3 are excellent choices. I would pick the BMW 135i with 6 spd though - simply due the the low weight and high output, Of course, it is a BMW. But, I would be glad to take the other two without hesitation at all. As the economy stands right now, price of cars are going up, especially CPO cars, so if you do decide on the Cayenne S, you'd better get it quickly. I doubt there will be much change in price for the other 2 though. The M45 is doing good - did some maintenance work on it - Driving belts, filters, put on new tires (Got rid of those all season ones and replace with Summer high performance ones and it handles much better). Did the oil / filter change and it is all set for the next 2-3 years until I need to flush the tranny fluid.  The only problem with the M45 is the gas mileage due to the NFS - If I drive it conservatively, I can get to 23MPG, but, I only get about 17-18 most of the time even in Texas with minimum traffic

Check oil level at least once per month and keep track of oil consumption Some Prelude burns oil, but very few is that bad to cause the oil light on.

Replying to: shmang (May 15, 2009 12:04 pm) I park my car in my garage and there is no oil on the garage floor, so if it's leaking, it's not obvious. I'll have to mention it to the shop and have them check. I wish I had more time to do myself, but not at this stage in my life - career on the road, young kids, etc. I'm just happy to keep my Prelude! I'm also in the market for new tires. I went to Tire Rack and it said that the Bridgestone Potenza's got the best ratings and those are the ones recommended for this car, so I guess I'll stick with them ($102/tire). The Yokohama S drive came close in the ratings though ($89/tire) |

Replying to: preludefan (May 15, 2009 5:51 pm) As far as tires, it is totally depends on how you drive and your location. But, tirerack gives you very detailed information to help you to choose the right one. Good luck. |
