ever heard of a prelude SSR?

I own a '93 Prelude, and it is listed on the title as being an SSR. The person I bought it off of had looked into it and told me that he found that the SSR's were a short lived Canada-only Prelude (about 300 produced) with loaded options (6 disc changer, leather, keyless), and one option i found odd, it has a positraction front differential. I know for a fact it has a positrac trans, but i didn't know if the rest was true or not. Can anyone verify one way or the other for me?

surprise.
canada had some oddball cars.
they've got sir's, and sr's, etc.
nothing different than what we've got.

you know...that sounds like its the equivalent to the USDM Prelude "SE"

dunno about the whole differential thing though...

I don't know a big difference but i know the Sir has heated seat i wounder what eles they got

Whoever posted it probably just pressed the "S" one too many times...Im sure its a 1993 Prelude SR

afaik canada has:

S (US Equiv. S)
SR (US Equiv. Si)
SR-V (US Equiv. VTEC)

you know...that sounds like its the equivalent to the USDM Prelude "SE"

...

That sounds familiar for some reason.

i don't know why i didn't think to do this before... I ran the vin and it showed up as an SR. So I guess someone just goofed at the title office. Oh well. Still doesn't explain the locking differential. As far as I knew that was never an option. It may just be a Canada thing, b/c of all the snow, or they all have them.

how do you know it has a locking differential? If it does it must be swapped in, not from the factory.

yeah...i was wondering that too

how do you know it has a locking differential? If it does it must be swapped in, not from the factory.

I know for a fact it is locking for two reasons: 1-when on the snow, the front wheels will both always spin. if one looses traction, the other will still hook up or will also spin. unlike a non-locking, which will spin one tire and let the other one set. 2-I put new axles on a couple of weeks ago and i was wondering how the locking dif worked, so i droped out the trans (note: hope to never do that again, it wasn't as easy as I had hoped) and I gutted some of it out. it actually has a centrifical clutch lookin deal that i imagine grabs under increased rpm/reduced traction. well just like "realtime 4 wheel" drive stuff works. also, it is a honda trans. I am unsure if it is the trans that it came from the factory with, but it is a honda genuine part. I called my local Honda shop, and they didn't know what i was talking about. Kinda a mystery. Oh well, I hope it never goes bad... the damn thing hooks up like hell :o)

maybe the jdm lsd tranny somehow sneaked its way into your car :evillol:

you're lucky though...weird incident...but lucky

I was looking more into the anomoly, and I think it could be possible someone put an lsd in the factory trans. I haven't seen any for sale for a lude, but they sell them for rsx's

Quaife sells them for the lude. It's a clutch type LSD. Not too uncommon.

cusco sells an lsd too

speakin of differentials... i'm lookin for a stock one for a JDM H22A (had to ditch the traction control in my 98 SH for the swap) - im lookin at one that came out of a 92 SI (h23) and i was winderin if it would work.... or if anyone has one for sale / trade...

I have a 93 prelude that lists the model on title as "SSR". Nowhere on the title does it say "Prelude". Since others have this same notation, I'm not inclined to believe it's a typo. VIN Identifies it as a Si w/H23 motor, but I can't find anything else that would set this car apart from other SI's. Any insight would be helpful.

I also have a 94 prelude SSR Iv seen and heard of like 10 and it can't be a misprint iv talked to everyone who has em and it is a model just very rare and only a couple hundred made. mine was made in Japan..and it's an SSR and it has all the extra features,and came with posi.

also my prelude came with a H22A never swapped either..
