My boy runs a 98' Prelude.. Fully Built everything turbocharged. The thing's like 2.4L DOHC VTEC (it was bored larger) Turbo, and it's SO sick. Preludes are nice ass cars. I have to say I always wanted one over my civic at first. If you do them right, they can be beast ass, and real slick lookin too. Right now I'm enjoying whoopin up on preludes in my B18C1'd civic, but I'd say go for it. Keep the civics though. They are great cars. Good luck to you!
