Hey what engines are in the 3rd Gen? Preludes - you know popup lights and 4 wheel stear? And would I have any chance with my EK Civic GLi if I were to race one? All stock of course...

Hey Buddy

The 3rd gen lud's havea B20A6 engine.
1998cc non V-tec (2.0l)

I can beat non V-Tec civics!
I go close to beating V-tec civics until they go into 3rd :(

OK cool - thought they were 2.0l - but didn't know about what engine it was. How close are those races of which you speak?

Well Matt from memory you smashed me :x

skoota - It all depends on what civic it is.
I'm no civic genius to me they are all ugly!
But some are 1.3L and some are bigger (i think) So the race always has a different result. Also depends on driver!

But the 3rd Gen Prelude's aren't that fast :(

I've been in a few of them and they seem fast but then again they're getting pretty old. My ''99 EK Civic is only 1.6l SOHC non-VTEC. So I'm guessing that the lude would beat me, but probably not by that much.

Those were the best Preludes ever made I feel. And you think Civics are ugly?? You got probs dude. ;)

Best Prelude made if it had V-Tec then YES I WOULD AGREE!
Sorry i'm not on the I LOVE CIVICS BANDWAGON. But to me they are Honda's version of Festivas and Barinas! Not my kind of car!

thats coz 2.5 inc zorst is to big for that prelude, you lose power not gain it might sound good but it dose **** all for power gains.
if he had a 2 1/4 zorst then he would be faster.

I'm a 1.6 though - my bicycle would beat a 1.3 SOHC without anyone even on the fricken thing!

We have to remember that the Prelude is alot heavier then the Civic

Yes, that is very true - part of the reason why I'm asking. :D
