im thinking aobut picking up a 01 lude its teh forest green color. has 65k on ti 5spd(heavenf orbid the damn 5th gen ludes clutch is garbage, so that iwll be changed out as well as the flywheel). any body have any though. i think this is one of hondas cleanest and sexyiest cars. my buddy has one and is sponsored by fidanza and act. so ill be running a fidanza flywheel and act clutch. for like $50 lol. but heres my plan:

-type sh motor
-base 5spd trans
-Midwest Werks type sh-base conversion plate(custom piece my buddy and i make)
-super wire tuck(bay and engine harness)
-delete abs
-dump it lower than low to the ground
-type s flush mount spoiler
-type s lip kit
-jdm fogs
-some wheels not sure yet
-burberry headliner
-s2k seats
-mild motor build

seems like you know what want :p, but yes 5th gen preludes are sexy i have a few friends who have them but yes the clutch isn't really the problem, it usually is the SH 5sp. If there done properly they can be really sexy but with any type of bodykits id say NO, stick to the spoon/mugen lips :). but looks like you got it all covered.

ya. my buddy has i think the lowest lude ive scene. we did custom suspension work. so its a secret. what do you mean upgrade the looks. im going type s lip kti but thats about it. and probably a retrofit. but thats it. and ya the type sh 5spd is garbage thats why me and my buddy developed a conversion plate that allows you to bolt up teh type sh motor to the base trans. hehe:naughty:. if only more people rant hat combo we coudl sell them suckers. and 5th gen ludes to me is the ebst honda car besides teh s2k and tegs

Why do you want to do the SH engine conversion? I would just keep the base H22. I would read this before you plan on doing that..

http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=762014

-SH does not have more power. auto preludes (5G) all have 190hp, Manuals have 195hp (1997, 1998) and 200hp (1999-2001). SH come ONLY in manual

-SH and base lude differ mainly because the SH has ATTS, which essentially makes the front wheels turn like a tank when you turn hard (more torque to the outside wheel)

The sleeves are fine and are plenty strong. As long as you keep stock cast pistons in it.

The problem with the sleeves is they are FRM or Fiber Reinforced Metal. They consist of a carbon fiber matrix, aluminum alloy, and aluminum oxide. They don't work well with forged pistons so if you plan to build the motor with forged pistons, you must get the block re-sleeved.

I'd stick with bolt-on's unless you want to get the block sleeved. Cast pistons are fine for all-motor so you can throw some cams in it that work well with the stock compression but no high-lift cams. Just make sure you convert it to obd1 and get either a socketed ecu to run free-ware (uberdata, crome,etc..) or go with hondata so you can get it tuned.

And like I said before, dropping an SH motor in it without the trans is a pretty worthless swap. The magic with the SH model happens in the transmission with the ATTS. But ATTS trans. will crap out with higer horse power.

iots already a type sh. i picked it up and bought a base trans. out of a 4th gen the stock lsd trans. its the same as the base out of the 5ht gen but lsd. and i fabbed up a plate me and my buddy make to bolt it all up. i hate atts. but i just wanted the car cus the price was right. but its all being worked. i might jsut toss the type s air box on. or build im searchign for somed art sleves for eth right price. but im going full type s lip kit and rear flush mount. and some retrofits. and jdm fogs. i know they get shitty gas milage. my buddy has one bone stock getting 19 mpg cus they require premium
