As you might guess, we're looking to rejuvenate this forum and get more people in here.

This is an open call to all Prelude gurus and anyone with resources they'd like to share for the benefit of the group.

Ultimately, we'd like to wind up with something similar to the Integra FAQ.

Thanks in advance. :cheers:

When I made this thread, I was hoping that the forum regulars would all contribute links and DIY articles and so forth. h:

Mike's got the right idea... so if you can share your wisdom on all things Prelude specific, please do. :hsd:

I purchased my Prelude two weeks ago, any time I repair/replace anything I will make a DIY for others to look at. As I learn more about the vehicle I will be able to chip in some knowledge

apparently you do

just started on here. I recently blew my h-23 in my 93 and had to get another one.
im sure it's a given but h-motorsonline.com is the place to go, esp. if you just feel like going with the h22
