I have had my 92 prelude for 2 weeks now and finding out what a beautiful car this is in and out. The engine is amazing and as 215,000 kms. It has a few issues.....but its worth the fix.
 
Here is a list of the problems.
 
-heat control is messed - wont switch to vent heat.
 
-few rattles
 
-leaky coolant line that runs to the water pump.
 
-worn front passenger lower ball joint
 
-worn drivers side CV AND AXLE.
 
-BROKEN LUG BOLT.
 
-SOME MINOR RUST- (I LIVE IN CANADA)
 
The engine is in amazing shape....I love this car. Does anyone else have anything to add?

Just put my '92 2.3 prelude through it's MOT and failed. Smoking badly after running for around 5 mins for emissions test... Going to replace oil and filter. Hope this solves problem, any advice guys? 156,000 miles on the clock. ( cv boot split and 2 tyres aswell!) Just to say I love driving this car and would be interested in joining an owners club if there is one? I live in the UK.

Hi all, iv had my prelude for 2weeks now.. silver sexy sleek machine!!
Its everything you'd want in a car!! Stunning!!! Has everything.. respray the lot!!
First question..
Iv Got a vtec controller with my prelude, when i bought it, it wasnt connected but i was assured that this worked..
i got home, connected it to the ECU and it lit up.. I tried turning my car over i got nothing.. Was just turning over.. WOULD NOT start.. so iv had to unplug that from the ECU and drive without it.. argh! help!! i wana have fun!! do i need to set it up??
SECOND MOAN.. Car drives fine.. but it doesnt shift over 110mph.. it gets to there and thats it.. it feels like im taking my foot of the accelorator, im not.. its a jap import, could this have a limiter on it??
THIRD MOAN... When accelorating through my gears.. it gives a very slight shudder.. Dunno what this is.. could it do with transmission fluid needing a change??
Final Moan.. Sometimes i find it hard to engage reverse..sometimes it goes into reverse no problem.. other times its tight and u have to really force it out.. AND when doing 70+ and changing from 4th gear into fifth it grinds a little.. its fine if im doing 40 odd and change into fifth..
hope you guys can help..
THANKS

i have a 95 prelude which for a while i have been having trouble maintaining pressure in my clutch., i would pump it for a minute and the pressure would return. But yesterday i was driving and the pedal droped to the floor, no pressure in the clutch and it was staying engaged. i tryed adding hydrolic fluid and puming the clutch some more to regaing pressure but when i started pumping the fluid fed into the line, gave me slight pressure and then bleed out onto the ground under my car.
 
does anyone have any ideas as what my problem could be

I'm about to purchase a cat back for my 92 prelude, i'm stuck between either the greddy sp2, and the Tanabe super medalion. which do you guys recommend? i want a nice sound, and good performance, both seem to fit that category.

I bought the Greddy SP2 for my 90 300ZX, Very happy with it
Good looks and a nice grown-up sound. (not a fart can)
