Just found out about this site and realized i know a bunch of people on here. If you dont know me my names brian and i drive the white 5th gen prelude w/ bronze rims. The car has come a long way since i first got it, here is what i have been up to:
Finally got around to getting my RSX Type S Leather seats bolted in
I cut off all the old mounts and got some scrap from govels welding and made all new ones. They fit perfect, i mounted them a little further back so when you recline them forward they dont hit the roof (they are that big in there lol) I havnt gotten a chance to drive much with them yett but they are a %100 improvment over the stockers.
Custom E46 Retrofits dont by Brian in Texas (prelude1987 on www.preludepower.com)
He basically cuts out my whole headlight and mounts this projector in. They have philips 6000k bulbs right now, i am going to get some c/f eye lids and lamin-x them in a few weeks.
Now for the good stuff:
Droped off to Synapse monday march 3rd, they started work today (10th)
Custom built Manifold by Morgan - no a/c
3" all the way back K-teller custom exhaust
GT3076R Turbo
Tial 44mm wastegate
Tial 50mm BOV
Precision 880cc injectors
Walbro 255 fuel pump
chipped obd1 ECU tuned with neptune
Garrett 600hp intercooler
3 bar map
Autometer comp 2 boost/oil/wideband guages
h23 manual tensioner conversion
timing belt/water pump/ all seals
lots of other shit too
Going to be tuned for around 300whp at about 9psi. Everything is good to hold 500+ poneys, except my block because it will go boom. Next winter calls for a quaife LSD and a built block.
Yeah i only use a/c every now and then, but the previous owner dumped over $600 into the system just before i bought the car so it was all new, and what girls wants to cruse around sweating her cooter off? lol but yeah the RSX seats are great and look even better. And idk about ludes taking over, i only know 1 other kid with a 5th gen and 2 with a 4th gen. Heavy, but awesome cars :banana
Yeah the lights are a bit white, if i had known i would have left the projector black and the housing white, but i was the first of the retrofit group to color match them to my car so i didnt have a clue how it would look till it was done… The car also has Tein ss coilovers. It had a zex 55 shot nitrous system but now that im going to boost i sold it, sure was alot fo fun. So i take it the 518 stands for the area code or something? kinda a noob question lol but everyone is in the albany-ish area rite?
Yeah i hope the c/f trim will provide some contrast.
Synapse already has my car apart for the most part, the tranny comes in from hmotorsonline.com in cali around thursday. They have to do the SH to Base conversion first off. Morgan wont begin building it for another 2 weeks or so, by the end of the month it should be all built, and then a week or so for a tune. We all know that if they say end of the month, it turns into middle of next month haha
i think i met you while i was up there last week. really nice car - good to see another H22 going boost, and your lucky you dont have any mount/axle issues to fuck around with
