1993 Honda Prelude Si Episode 2: Clean-Up, Spoiler, Mats, and More

Tyson, thanks for checking out that Prelude at Pull-N-Save, You saved me a miserable trip in the Heat. I am looking for the Intake Tube. That throttle Body is valuable, I need an extra one. I am running a 92 intake manifold on my 1993 Accord. Prelude parts are hard to find.

Did you have problems with the rear window defroster peeling off together with the tint foil?

92-93 didn’t come with led spoilers only the 94-96 model did which I always thought it was weird

The Prelude is coming along nicely! Love that spoiler addition - I know the “whale tail” look is all the rage right now, but 90’s spoilers just hit different.

Anything mechanical needed for the ‘Lude?

I had 1994 Prelude VTEC, loved that car, it drove so nice and had so much torque and power. My Friend had a Dark Green 1995 Prelude SI, we used to race with him all the time, he was faster on the first gear until like 50-60 miles and then VTEC would take over after like 60 and pass his SI.

Looking good. Need to secure yourself a power antenna.

The TLC Tyson puts into his restorations is legendary. Love seeing him give these classics new life. Also a good reminder to me just because it's old doesn't mean it's junk.

Nice attention to detail, Tyson! Even down to the correct side marker light screws! Word of advice on that brand floot mats, your heel will compress the fibers in that mat in a short amount of time based on experience.

Loving the updates on the Prelude 😎

I love what you’re doing! I have a 1990 Honda Accord LX sedan. It is a manual like this car. I think your factory shift knob is the exact same as mine. The little chrome trim that clips just at the base of the knob can be rewrapped I’m sure.

I remember I tried to buy one of these new in 1992. A red one. Could not get financed. Ended up buying a new 1992 Nissan 240sx. It was a win for me.

Oh man, this car keeps getting better and better

nice work! 🔧

do you have any experience with the abs modulator assemblies on these old hondas leaking? and if so, what was your solution for it? i've tried changing o-rings on them but the internal pistons have cup seals which i could never find replacements for even looking for just the seals based on measurements.

I think red is ur calling

Where do you get your wheels refinished?

What a cool car!

Has to be one of my favorite Preludes made. Great job on the airbox sticker.

Love the bonus chopsticks!

It seems you might like red cars....

See if yo can find the famous Dr. Ruth Westheimer in a Honda PRELUDE commercial. Yeah I remember that commercial so vividly 👀👌

Citrol 266 will clean up those mud flaps, excellent for tar. sap . Paint transfer and adhesive removal.

still great carsby todays standatd

any suggestions on where to find a realistic 3rd gen integra model? US style front end. preferably 94-97 style. even better if its not a type R. just a regular one like i have.

Super nice Prelude!

Which do you prefer, a wedgy Prelude or a roundy Prelude?

Looking great!

Milano Red is one of my most fav colors from Honda. Looks good!

Seems like just yesterday these were new. Sigh. The days are long, but the years are fast. Thanks for keeping these great older Hondas on the road.

Great work on the "lude". Can't wait to see what else you have planned. My buddy used to have a light blue 2nd gen and I had a 3rd gen honda accord coupe. It's astonishing how similar they are :-) cheers.

Given your fastidiousness, i would imagine that aftermarket antenna is making your teeth itch!

So glad you added the spoiler, always thought this gen looked odd without one. My ‘93 and ‘99 had one. Looks awesome Tyson! 🎉

Looking good. I always enjoy your little touches. Stuff like getting the sticker for the air box, new pedal covers, painting the gear shift ring. It's the little things that go a long way. The spoiler looks fantastic by the way. Can't wait to see it with the refinished wheels.

Such memories of our associate parking lot being full of these and CRX's when I started at Honda Mfg. in Marysville back in '97. They were awesome work cars with fantastic MPG. Outstanding find Tyson and thank you for keeping these classics alive. 
👍🏻🇺🇸

Keep dropping quality content. I enjoy the videos.

A beautiful sea of red there! 😍

The most valuable thing about that junkyard car are the wheels. FF culture ruined a lot of these cars and wheels are kinda rare. And i like the caps on your car aligned with the valve

The add on spoiler was the right touch. This 3rd Gen was gem of a find.

lots of elbow grease. I also like the tint-free look.

❤🔥❤🤤

The SE model of 4th gen Prelude came from the factory with the rear spoiler. Those are the ones with the 3rd brake lamp in the spoiler as there wasn't the one mounted inside from the roof from the factory.

When you can, you have to swap back an OEM power antenna. Not sure on this model but, I believe if you have the power antenna and then got the spoiler, when you pop the trunk, the antenna should go down so it doesn't hit the spoiler when the lid is up.
