This is my first lude ever. Got her in my H.S. years as a gift by my folks. Ill admit it wasn't what i wanted. (90's Cadillac with vogue tires) As time went along it grew on me and i would get many compliments. Months after recieving it, i had my first wreck at the homecoming game :( I have had this car for about 12 years and have been through soo much with this car. Unfortunately, I am regretfully am putting her to rest. I tore the wheel welds off by hitting a curb pretty bad due to txting and driving :/ I will be salvaging as much i can from her. Every bolt/nut will be in my new DD. She will not be gone for ever but away indefinitely.
I never named my car but I will miss her soo much cause she gave me the best years of driving I could ever have! I’ve taken her to Austin, Atlanta, New Orleans, San Antonio, and Dallas. Soo many road trips and car meets that i wanted to take her on!
So, Thanks guys for allowing me to share my love for Preludes and a bit of my life story.

Hi, My name is Alex. I am deaf. Forgive me if I make some gammer error or whatever due being Im deaf. Thanks. Short story about me relate to the import scene, myself never like to go fast. I don't fibere. Im all about Low N Slow. Like the idea the lude being to low with low offset legit wheels stanced mode and drive like a boss. Thats the idea I am all about and I love an aggressive look! Anyway, since the high school (2004) I've been wanting a prelude but couldn't afford it. Finally in 2011, I got it. Long story short, when I had my 94' civic coupe, I've seen this lude around at the highway once in a while because this lude used to live in Deltona, FL and I live in DeLand, FL which is only 15 mins apart. Everytime I saw this lude, it made me sad due to the horrible ricer paint job but always like the 4th gen body style. I honestly never thought this lude will be mine in the future but it is. When I had enough with my civic and decide to sell it and I was looking for 96-00 civic 4 door and just daily driving it thats it but my boy Jessito said a simple sentence, "Bro... what about the prelude?" so I was like omg I must have one so I started looking for the 92-96 prelude via local craigslist... Bam The lude I found on the craigslist which is the lude I saw at the highway sometime. I felt it must be connection or whatever you call. I felt I should get it regardless the price (see my build thread for the craigslist link picture and BEFORE pics) so I got my lude for just $1,500 running great with cold a/c but need interior works and paint job. The lude is 1992 Prelude S (Base model... non ABS!! :mrgreen::mrgreen:) After owning the lude, I am very happy to have this lude so I named her Bella. I throw to much money in my Bella more than what she worth but I don't care. I will keep doing it because I will have her for long ASSSS time. The prelude was one of my dream cars to have.
It will be awesome If I win but its cool if I don't. All I can say is.... KEEP LUDING AND PRELUDES FTW!!!!!!

3. Sir Kyle | BUILD THREAD
It's been a long road with me and this car. I've wanted one since I was in high school and bought it after graduation. That was ten years ago this year. It's been quite the evolution and appreciate the things I've learned along the way. The best thing about this car is the people that it allowed into my life. Our NW Prelude group has been life changing and I will never take that for granted.
With that said, I built this car to rip all the haters a new asshole on the track. With this car I have blown minds and made believers at track days. Nearly all of my modifications at this point are for the need to go faster around a track, and it just so happens to be pretty too. One of my all time favorite quotes that embodies the spirit of my Prelude, from an unknown source: "You can't make a race horse out of a pig; but if you work hard enough you'll have a mighty fast pig"
Thank you
