WEll i recently came into a large sum of money and im looking at buying a 92 + prelude and just want some opinions from everyone that wants to give them. Im only looking to spend 10 grand. Should i buy a cheaper prelude and do a JDM motor swap, or should i buy a 200 hp VTEC prelude adn start with that ? BAsically iut comes down to what motor is better for me to work with ? ITs either a prelude or a Nissan 300 ZX but i wanna buy another honda, they are great cars and ive had much luck with them.

THANKZ for any and all help

IMO, get the 300zx

Get a 240 and do a SR20DET swap

300zx are sloooooooooo

If you decide on getting a Prelude, I would get the one that already has the engine you want if possible, as it saves you the added effort, time, and cash involved in finding and installing a motor. As for the 300 ZX, I doubt you will find one (last gen) in your $10,000 budget, unless you are talking about the older ones or a salvage. Either way, good luck.

only 10g? damn.. a couple more, and you could buy Vince's (BB1-WWS) lude!!! it's the sweetest 4th gen IMHO


i'd say go with the 5th gen, otherwise, grab an older on and swap.. yumm. either way, u'll be happy

Im with JSK.., a 240 with an SR20DET swap.
but wouldn't that cost more that 10Gs?
OR
Get a 5Gen hatch and swap the motor for a B18 and put on a Turbo.
