Prelude owners bash Civic owners

all the prelude guys i see and stuff they all talk crap about the civic....maybe i can see sohc honda civics but cmon i would think i got a good engine to compete against preludes(my 2 cents) My Si 2000, but im just trying to make peace with all of you guys... just some idiots in some civics just ruin it for all of us.:frown:

yeah, it sucks that it's a few civic guys that ruin it all for the rest of you. it's just that the typical civic owner is generally younger than the prelude guys. most of us have nothing against the civic itself, it's the guy behind the wheel usually. i went to a huge lude meet this past weekend, and it's obvious that the average age of prelude owners is considerably higher than those of civics. but no one acted stupid, it was a very smooth meet. and for comparison, i went to a civic meet a few months ago, and it was shut down by the cops an hour later coz a few guys were racin in the parkin lot, while other were doin burnout all over the place. that's not a judgement call, that's a fact.

prelude owners may seem like we have this chip on their shoulders and we may seem like asses sometimes but we got a lot of love for most cars, even civics. it's some of the drivers that make them look bad.

:iagree:

A hater is still a hater, no matter what you drive. How about giving respect where respect is due?

True, most young people dont own preludes, but thats because most of the people wouldn't shell out the extra cash for a prelude. Most people I know would rather buy a civic for half the price, and then spend that saved money on stuff to make the car special to them.

An asshole is an asshole, doesn't matter what badge is on the car. So how about a little more maturity? Thats whats wrong with the import community.....No respect...

Im 16 and i own a lude and im gonna turbo it.. im also young and own a civic.. i love both cars.. dont see me hating civics or ludes or even accords! Only set of ppl i hate are ricers.. donbt like then and definatly dont need those idiots!

cheers to the ludes. im 20 and my last prelude ate shit into the front of a big ass chevy truck...buying another soon. anyway thats not the point. preludex said it- its not the civic but the ricer drivin it. when you see a modded civic drivin down the street, what do you think? rice of course. even if its not rice, you still think that because most civic are rice (unless its hella clean of course). anyway thats all. peace, eric

integras own both cars...so who cares? :iceslolan j/k (don't get started on a flame war, cuz im JUST KIDDING)

i think it is the same even for teg drivers tho. most of the time, the guys i kno w/ civics are a little too cocky for their own good. now im not saying that other import drivers aren't (cuz tons are), but for the most part, the ricers i know are civic drivers w/ a huge fart-can who think they own the road.

but...if u like ur civic...great, don't let wut ppl think of u bring u down at all.

peace

I think you guys are overlooking one important fact....


Most civics can be had for dirt cheap. So of course most ricers are going to own civics. Thats a given. Plus people who buy fart cans and big ass APC winshield banners aren't exactly concerned with quality. So again, the majority of the import community is going to be piece of shit rice rockets. Why spend $15g on a car your going to destroy when you can have a civic for $1500

I can personally say that I have seen maybe 2 88-91 Civics in this area that arent totally riced out, and have clean appearance. And I can say that I haven't seen one Prelude that I've liked around here. Most of the time, they are lowered with rims, and thats it. Probably because the kids who own them are so far in debt from buying the lude.

I think a ricer is someone who is into imports for the wrong reasons. Those are the people who are so concerned about what everyone thinks about them and their car, because they have no personality. Or you have the ones who do it just to attract high school girls. And the best of all are the ones who think they are "street racer's", and would rev on their grandmother if she was driving a civic.

I tune my car because I enjoy working on it, and I love to drive it. Its nice when people compliment you, but overall I dont really care. As long as Im having fun, who gives a shit about what the guy with the Pep Boy's exhaust thinks?

who gives a shit? some people like smaller cars (civic) some like a bigger, sportier car like a lude. personally i like the lude, but i respect someone who idolizes a civic. it's like comparing oranges and apples...
'different strokes for different folks.
but don't hate guys who spend some coin and think they are in debt, personally i think a stock lude with nices rims is classy. i could rice out my car, but i choose not to

Not hating on those who can shell out the cash for a lude....shit if I had the money, I'd buy an s2000 in a second. And I'd love to have an old school lude (like 88), but theres just not alot out there for it. I have a hard enough time finding quality stuff for my Si.

Nothing wrong with stock appearance/aftermarket rims thing. I was just trying to say that I dont see modded Ludes at all around here, Except for this one thats in my neighborhood. Its a 93 I think.

Your totally right about apples and oranges, or as I like to put it..."weapon of choice". I just feel the civic gets a bad rap, because the majority of them are owned by "tuner illiterate" assholes, who just rice them up and think that they are the shit.

Theres nothing unique about buying the same stupid graphics out of a MI catalog that 4 million other people have. That goes for all cars, but everyone knows when people think of honda, they think civic. Shit, the things has been around for 30 years. I dont think its the car that deserves the hate, just ricers in general.

I bought my 90 prelude 2.1si for $1,300 i could have got it for $1,200 but i had to travel to get it and i didn't want them to sell it so offered more. crazy I know but the car was in great condition. and 1300 was still a good deal.
I just decided to add this b/c of the talk of preludes being expensive...mine wasn't thats all.

Well im 17 and I have a 97 SH. Personally, I usually get shit from my civic guys. They're all my friends, but they think they're special because their jdm b16's and b18's swapped hatches SOMETIMES beat me. I bought a lude because of the fact that its an awesome, sporty, stylish car STOCK and their is no need to swap engines to make it quick, and not because of its extreme potential. Don't get me wrong, ludes have potential, but there isnt much of an aftermarket compared to the civic and nothing that is really worth swapping. Their swapped hatches are build for speed. The whole weight thing is holding us back. The lude is a great car and for the fact that theyre pretty rare and not seen very often is just a bonus.:biggrin:

find a civic the same year, same miles, and same general condition, and you'll see, the prelude will still be more expensive

the prelude is faster! looks better and isn't as popular.

1990 CIVIC
4x4 wagon, 5spd, 135kmi, cold AC, runs great, solid body, $1695

1990 CIVIC
4spd, hatchback, air, CD-player, runs gd, ext very gd, some tears in frt seats, worth a look, $1777

others were around the same so i still disagree that it was more expensive than a civic but whatever.

Wow, you guys are fucking retarted! Yes, preludes will be more than civics of the same year, condition, and mileage because preludes are a lot more than civics new. Wanna know why your civic was a grand more than your prelude??? They are different years, probably different conditions, and different mileage and/or you got ripped of you cunt scab. Stupid people piss me off :thefinger

I'm new to the Honda world, I'm 17 and going to pick up my lude tomorrow, it's a 92 Si 5-speed, alloy wheels, 4 minor rust spots (I'm in Vermont at my dad's, this lude was driven in the winter :bloated: ) 125,000 miles... very good condition for an 11 year old car, $3800, engine was rebuild last week. The lady who had it before me, the timing belt broke, so the engine had to be replaced aparently, so it has a pretty much brand new engine in it, the body needs a little work, but isn't that why I'm getting a Lude anyway? Not only to have a Prelude but to have something to work on, and build (for the most part) as my own? In my town there are probably 300 (completely guessing) civics and 3 Ludes (including mine that I'm getting :P) that's why I want one, so I can be part of the Super Elite :icon16: I like civics, I was going to get one, till I found this awesome deal on a lude.

Like I said I'm new to Honda, and the forums here, so I haven't seen much of this, but I thought I'd put in my 2 cents and let myself be known to all the other Prelude owners here.

Peace.

I wouldn't go so far as to say "Elite", but you are ahead of 90% of the civic game.

yeah but "Elite" has a nice ring to it don't you agree? :cool:

hrmmm...elite an prelude...riiiiiiight....j/k:iceslolan

Elite is more for the enzos and mclarens. We are just pawns in this game of car chess.

Maybe the integra is on the elite level too........... :spit: :nutkick:

:lol:

nonono, the ITR will be a collectors car in about 20 years (in the states atleast), but no-where near elite. (but i did get the fact that u were being sarcastic)

when i hear that word, i think of cars like imported skylines, 1000hp supras, vette z06's...etc...

Wow, you guys are fucking retarted!


um that 1990 civic hatch i posted was in worse condition then mine and the same year and it was more expensive!!! so befor you go calling people stupid try to not be yourself. I will agree that usually preludes are more expensive but i was pointing out that they are NOT ALWAYS more than civics, mine wasn't. yes, maybe it was more than some but i would say for the condition the miles and the car itslef it was a good deal and priced better than a civic. I looked around at civics and accords and crx's befor i bout my car. I know whatim talking about.

Though what I did mean was in my town it's the Super Elite, other than 1 S2000 it's all Civics/Accords, there is 2 Vipers (love em), 15 Corvett's (Hate em), 1000000000000000000 Mustangs (Yuck! Atleast there are plenty of fresh victoms for me. eh?:biggrin2:) , and an assortment of redneck trucks and what-not. So as far as I consider "Sports car's" or "Sport Compact" a Lude in my town is Elite... :bigthumb:

I see what you mean kornboy, and for krnxracer, i'm sure a GSR would be elite in his town. We (lude, teg owners) all have our little victories sometimes. I love going to small towns with my car.

If any of the "1000000000000000000 Mustangs" are GT's, they will be smacking you up to be the victum really fast, bear in mind you are driving a 160hp 2866 pound "sports car."

go back to bangin sheep and stroking your mullet. :thefinger

There are cars in here who will eat a stock gt mustang alive....160hp or not....And Im not to up on hp numbers for the prelude, but I dont think its 160hp...

Its nice to own a "sports car" that will last longer than 100,000 miles.

:22yikes: HOLY SHIT, ARE YOU SERIOUS!!??









:gives:

somehow i knew i should have closed this thread when it first started, i never liked it and was afraid of the direction it would take, and unfortunately it's on its way down the shithole.

clean it up fellas!! :nutkick:

nah they're mostly Mustangs/Mustang GT's but they're all Auto lol no one knows how to drive a stick, I eat GT's with the Max... the tuned ones, no because the drives DO have a stick (in some they do). For the most part they suck, the Lude hasn't seen any Mustangs yet... it's just a matter of time. :bigthumb:

Hold up, no, 160hp preludes do not eat Mustang GT's. I am VERY "up" on car statistics, and yes, the preludes did have 160hp. We're talking about a 1992 here. This thing is no more than an economy car. If a Mustang GT is actually racing a prelude or a Maxima, it WILL win, regardless of transmission type.

What blows my mind is that a statement like I made is responded to with astonishment. I know rice-boys don't know much about cars, but anyone who knows ANYTHING about cars or has even read a page of a car magazine knows that stock for stock and mod for mod, Mustang GT's are much faster than any of these VTEC 4-bangers. THIS IS NOT A MATTER OF OPINION, it is a fact. A new Mustang GT does 0-60 in 5.4 secs. I'm TELLING you, Preludes do not come close, especially 1992's with 125k miles. That is not a sports car.

Would you believe that my Z-28 SS can outrun a 1992 Prelude, or is that also absurd?

So please stop flaming on other peoples cars and giving stupid comments like "Altezzas add 10-20 pounds of torque", okay?!?

I'm not gonna start a war here so I'm going to *TRY* and remain general with my statements, okay as I said the drivers in my town suck, because it's true, I've not met a mustang yet IN MY TOWN (that I've raced, I don't touch the moded ones) that has given me any problems, they're loaded down with so much CRAP and wiggered out to hell that they can't move it seems, I never said anything about Z28's other than one owned my ass not long ago, and that I think they're one of the ugliest hunks of metal on the road. I never raced a prelude, I'm in the process of aquiring mine, that was with my Max. The Stock mustangs are nothing, I know statistics, and you have no right to call me a "rice-boy" cause I said it was the drivers, it had to be, because yes they have more HP I'm not ignorant.

You've got some nerve attacking me and making the assumtion I don't know what I'm talking about, for that matter I don't know what I've seen, I don't care if you designed the damn mustangs, just cause they have the power doesn't mean the retard driving knows how to use it, I think it's been proven that HP and "Statistics" aren't all that matters when racing.

This is not a flame what I am about to say is an observation, you 96z28SS attacked me about "I'm TELLING you, Preludes do not come close, especially 1992's with 125k miles. That is not a sports car." though this is what I said, maybe you can't read, I said "the Lude hasn't seen any Mustangs yet... " where you got that I said that it has beaten any mustangs I will never know, I imagine back home if I can beat them with a 3200lbs+ (or so) Max with 4 gears and 160 HP then 160HP 5 gears and 2866Lbs' I'll stand a better chance. Next time please read everything before you attack me, it makes you look really stupid. :thefinger

Another INGENIOUS statement brought to you by 96zx28SS!


Dude, I'm American born, and raised, so don't even make up shit :biggrin2:

Yeah, if I can beat em with a Max, then the prelude will have no problem... Dude pull your head out of your ass and read :thefinger Maybe they didn't teach reading comprehension where you live or something, or maybe you just missed that day cause you were too busy watching NASCAR :thefinger

Dude, just read and think before you post, but if you don't want to, that's cool I'm getting a good laugh from this! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ignorance is bliss isn't it? At least to the people who observe it :dogpile:



Edit: oh yeah, I forgot something, mileage doesn't mean much if you take care of the engine man :icesangel

Oh, sorry, I guess I assumed that you were foreign since you support foreign corporations. I guess you are just anti-American.

Aside from a slew of rootless insults, you're really not doing much to defend your precious Prelude. What you've told me is that you aren't ignorant, but a 160hp Maxima and a 1992 Prelude are two cars that are faster than Mustangs. That is a very generic statement. It is true that they are faster than a 1989 4 cyl, 88 hp Mustang (I hate to remind myself of such things), and maybe also faster than an automatic 1996 Mustang V6 convertible. Why don't you get more specific with these phantom victories you've had in your mom's Nissan Maxima? Were these the forementioned Mustangs, or were they Mustang GTs? Was your opponent actually racing? How many were there? A statement as bold as "Mustangs are nothing" or "Plenty of new victims for me" needs support. I can say for sure that my car will outrun any stock Prelude from any year, but your Prelude can only outrun a very small population of bottom-of-the-line Mustang coupes. For you to win a race against a new GT would require that he either be totally incompetent with a manual transmission or not racing. If he, too, has an automatic transmission, then there is no skill involved, and the faster car will win. Let's see what you've learned today - which car would win? The automatic Mustang GT driver who floors it, or you in your 1992 Honda Prelude?
