rigby and his Prelude

[rigby]

Evenings gents. Name's Ryan. Or rigby. Whatever floats your boat.

Recently had a Lancer.

Then an old lady t-boned me, and this happened:

Now have a 1997 Prelude VTiR with 49,000 original kms on the clock. Immaculate condition inside and out.

Guess that's about it.

Oh, I go to uni, 3rd year primary school education student. Fave colour is red. And I love rice. Car rice, not edible rice... although car rice is delicious too...

[rigby]

Thanks. I would start a ride thread but I don't know where I'd put it... In the prelude section somewhere?

If you just wanna post pics then in 'appearance/gallery',but if its going to be a progressing build with regular updates then 'build threads' subforum

Dunno, guess it's to save me from dumbasses in car parks from dinting my car. I don't mind it. I have no idea what the fat black block on the front bumper behind the number plate is either.

[curtis265]

weird.

what plans you got?

[rigby]

Well when I have the funds... OEM or Mugen lip kit all round. Black housing for head+tail lights. Possible cf bonnet with scoop/vents. 2 1/4" catback which Y's into 2" dual twin tips (headers later maybe). And Integra-esque wing on the back. Had an integra wing on the Lancer, doesn't seem like it will fit the Prelude though. Mostly cosmetic/aesthetic I guess. Any tips or things you recommend? (Apart from handling mods/wheels) :)

Welcome.

there's actually a big wing available if you're still into that, it was an OEM option

I do recommend handling mods and wheels

Regarding the twin tips, i always find that they look awkward if they never came like that to begin with

[rigby]

What kind of oem wing is that? Very interested in it seeing as the integra wing won't fit

[Jasemas]

Welcome Ryan
Sorry to hear about your old lancer
And old lady wrote off my car too - i see whats going on here
Nice 'lude man
Don't overdo the 'rice' even :P

[rigby]

Darn old ladies -____-
Cheers. Haha every time someone says "don't rice it" it makes me want to do it 10x more than before. Defs going to have a lot more fibreglass on it eventually

[migoreng]

Nice car... Keep it simple... :)

[curtis265]
