Can Some1 Take Me For A Drive?

I really recommend you save a little more and go with the vtec. i wish i had when i bought the si... then i turbocharged it, and spent way too much and it didnt run so well cos i got d1cked around by a 'workshop' despite them having a good reputation.

Vtec is fun

and the resale value will be slightly better. There is not much difference in price between Si and VTEC these days. Back when I was looking, it was a $5k difference.

Having said that, the Si has a fair bit of grunt, and once I lowered it, it was better to drive. It's quite a comfy car stock standard, unless you lower it and get low profile tyres, you will FEEL the potholes. It is perhaps quite loud in the cabin compared to other cars...

yeah but its about 2k or so difference. lol which is quite a bit for me

if i do happen to get enough money together or the vtec i will go for it no doubt!!

also considering integras but im still stuck on the preludes

It'll be good to have a ride/drive of both and feel the difference between the Si & VTiR. It depends on what you need & what grabs you. I consider the 4th Gen Prelude as being one of the nicest shapes Honda has ever designed.
Yep better looking than my weekend car.
Cheers, Terry
PS Looks like you'd be happy with either.
PPS Know where to look for rust spots. Make sure all services have been done via specs. Check for previous damage etc. etc.

Hi Buddy,
Were you still interested in going in the 4th Gen Prelude?
Hadn't heard from you yet...
My E-Mail is eastleaf@bigpond.com if you want to get in touch eh?
Regards, Terry

An Si is a great car, its basically the same as the Vtir except for a the engine and the wheels. The Si is very torquey and still handles really well.

Ive driven both, and didnt notice a difference apart from the revlimit being a bit higher.

The 4th gens are the most hardcore feeling of the Prelude family I think...

The 3rd gen was built for the businessman and when the 4th gen bombed out in sales the 5th gen was again targeted towards are more luxury, GT market... (Well that's how I interpret the Prelude time line anyway)

The 5th gen chassis is supposed to be something like 20% stiffer than that of the 4th gen. They definitely went back to the 3rd gen for looks though. Best I can figure most (all gens) were driven by old women. Then again maybe that was just the autos and only first owners anyway.
