Hi there. I was registered in there some time ago but didn`t made any threads about me or my car. So I`ll start from begin.
My name is Guntars and I`m from Latvia. ( EUR) At the moment I`m based in Bathgate. (Scotland)
So that`s something about me. Now about car.
It is a 5 gen prelude with f20a4 engine. I bought it at august 2013. Like preludes a lot because back in Latvia I had a 4 gen prelude fully rebuild from stock lude to a show car. Will try to find some pics later and post it in because that car was sold long time ago. At the start that car was Milano red colour pretty much stock. I was repainted it to lamborgini orange pearl and putted to it a levyn style bodykit. Looked awesome. Swapped f20a4 to h22a.
So that abouot my ex car ( was in hondaklubs lv in Latvia )
Now about my car in UK.
There is some pics. after I bought it and how`s it looks atm.
Still a lot to do on it but I wont stop before it will be finished :)

Well she`s looked like that when I bought it

Atm was maded a little of changes. Putted on it a better shoes.

Next I`m looking for lowering springs to get it down because atm gap from weels to arch is too big even with r17

Thank you man.
Yeah they are BSA 17.
next will be boot wrapping - got already at home 3x3 carbon fiber wrap. Just looking to garage where I can wrap it.
After that thease wheels will be resanded and repainted. Like a idea about black + orange colors saw that in there on 1 Prelude pictures.
Looking for lip kits aswell but so far has find only parts from USA or Japan. Well that`s good to build that cas with orginal jdm parts.
At the end that beauty will be carried a most important - H22a engine.

(edit) polish was Image

I like the five spoke BSA 'a as you see the callipers and discs well and they are are well easy to clean. What h22 are you gona put in?

Your best bet for lip kits are breakers on eBay/ gumtree or most importantly on here as I find everyone on this site being an enthusiast would be truthful on condition and kind with price. I'm doing mine up too just now focusing on engine enhancement first then brakes then body I'm sure someone will say my order is all wrong but hey we all take our own paths in life. ;)

I`m thinking about JDM h22a as it was in my ex prelude and I was really pleasured about it.
Well atm that`s a project but i will make it till the end.

And i `think about focusing you doing it well. It`s depends of use of car, time etc.
About me - she`s a car with i`m driving to the job every day. So i cant put it in garage to rebuild. All what i can atm is make it step by step..
Ty for suggesting where i can find lip kits.
About lowering i`m thinking about thease
