Bio: I've had my prelude for 5 years since I was 14 and a freshman in high school. This car has gone through a lot of abuse, changes, and its had its highs and lows. As most other luders know your car is never completed, there are always more parts and changes to come. I started building the B21a when I was 16 and finished it about a year and a half later. Its ran great ever since and doesnt burn any oil after 20k miles. A few weeks ago I had a chance to put it on the dyno and it made 136hp and 135 ft lbs of torque on stock ecu and a leaky exhaust. I love preludepower and all its members. I have had my fair share of problems and a lot of members have helped out. Thank you to everyone for contributing to this forum in every way.

Goodluck rjudgey! Sick 2gen with probably one of the coolest carb builds I've seen

[xxfallacyxx]

Some pics aren't working. Possibly a work firewall issue, will try again when I'm at home.

[neonxiii]

Next month there should also be a mass PM to nominate as well.

Both great cars, but that is a lovely looking 2G; plus all that original work, it has to get the vote. That and twin Webers always look good and take me down memory lane.

Never voted in POTM before but really like the car rjudgey, well done.

[B-Yeag.]

I'm a 3rd Gen guy, but I gotta say 2ND GEN FOR THE WIN this time around. Good luck to you both!

[OldSchool4G]

Props to you rjudgey for a nice clean 2g with work done to that stock motor. What numbers are you lookin at? love the dual carbs with flow stacks. You be lookin like an ae86. and ludeman69 nice 3g bro. very clean. love those side skirts.

[IllQueens1.8DX]

...all I have to say is check my name...looks like it's going to be a landslide...

both wips are tight...love the sides..meshes with the rims...

[TripleLude]

I have to think abut this one. Hard to decide. The 2nd gen build is so cool. I am a motor head, and I see a lot in that engine build. The 3rd gen is clean under the hood though.

[rjudgey]

Thanks for the props guys, as you all know I've been around the prelude scene since the original Hondaprelude.com days and I've had my little ride for 15 years now, I'm a bit like the Honda prelude version of the film " The worlds fastest Indian!" lol!
Car has just had some more work done I've modified the upper arms basically elongated the slots that hold the upper ball joint on an extra 1/8" and now gives me upto -4 degrees camber, then I've also had the exhaust finally sorted out, didn't have quite enough money and time to get the header done but I've had the downpipe done to the ported and flowed cast header which is a 4-2 design anyway and isn't too shabby, this leads to 2 2" downpipes!! and then to a 2.5" system all mandrel bent with two silencers the car is seriously breathing much better now sounds better too it's actually incredibly loud! The interior has had a clean up and is completely stripped apart from dashboard, will be lining the inside doors and quarters with plastic sheeting. I've managed to get the weight down to approximately 850-860kg's was 900kg's before i started the serious stripping! Later date will be putting in a nicer bucket seat that's lighter and more comfy these Cobras are hard as nails and not that light. And will be replacing the wing mirrors with racing lightweight ones and also looking and plexi glassing the side windows and removing everything from the insides off the doors.
At a competition tomorrow hoping to pick up a 1-3rd place car should be very competitive it's a Auto X event and combine Drag event who ever averages the fastest time across both events wins.

The Engine depending on Camshaft choice is between 185-200bhp but working on a better cylinder head and a high compression block with forged pistons for next time round which should see me well over the 200bhp mark!

[Ludercrs]

both very clean cars.

[3gen3rdgen]

Nice build rjudgey! I'm definately a 3rd gen guy, but you have got to admire the work put into that 2nd gen!

[rjudgey]

Ran a 1/4 mile competition yesterday 14.1s 100mph terminal pb for me last one was 14.5 at 94mph so well chuffed and was on wet road tyres not slicks or dry weather road tyres.

[13thdimensionconnection]

I like the 3rd gen because of the giraffe, and because it is a 3rd gen. But some serious work has gone into that 2nd gen.

[PHXredlude]

2g's for life!!!!

[Dexter]

That second gen is pretty sick

[gaborn73]

Wow! The dual carbs on the 2Gen are awesome.
Both very nice. I like the white paint job on the 3Gen but the work on the 2Gen puts it over the top.
