Gordon '99 USDM H22A/M2T4 - "Teksanka"

#1 '97 BB6 - "50 Shades of Red"

Fistly I need to say that I love this car. That's important. For real, since my friend who just bought this car let me drive this for… I don’t know… 800 meters maybe for test what H22 accelerate looks like for driver… I started to look for my own Prelude. I bought it in early 2014, that was red ’97 BB6 with no mods at all (even the “wood” trim kit was there), with many issues, bad old damaged paint but with healthy H22A5… And that was my first car. I had it 1.5 year and made some mechanical improvements, change the exhaust, rims, and repair many things. I sold it because the body of my next car was for sale. I called her jokingly “The 50 Shades of Red” because every body part was faded and in other tone of red… or pink

#2 '99 USDM BB6 - "Teksanka"

And here’s my second BB6, A ’99 USDM Prelude bought from very good hands. Some of you can recognize it, old prelude of Stosek, very nice man from Poland, those days that was powered by H22 with JRSC. The old engine blow up after overheating problems and was sold into parts. Firstly, I bought only the SIR Body kit but then… I realized that my BB6 will never achieve good condition of this one… So I bought rest of body. Later that was a long way with collecting all the part’s to startup my new love… ugh… I mean car(Yes, my girlfriend is sometimes jealous about my affection to this lude… ). It was specially hard because… Maybe because of man who introduced me into Prelude – I very like gadget’s… JDM and USDM one. Finally first startup was fem months later. Because of some parts old owner bought “W2 SSPEC” license plates. It’s clearly not SSPEC model but have some part’s. I call her “Teksanka” which mean... girl from Texas in hard translate

Thank you for possitive feedback, I have more plan's (ofcourse, project is never done).

Now I'm trying to improve my lights... I have UKDM front lights and must mount EUDM, also in Poland we must have rear fog light... I must create one(and this can't be oem it's look terrible).

Also i need to make interior done. I want to build in 2-din radio with screen to display electronic gauges(temperature of block etc) and... Seats ofcourse(now i have cheapest, velur one).

But now i have plenty of time to do stuff - after first snow, Lude is in garage till march

Luvly looking Lude
Only thing I don't like is the opening on the bonnet.
If it was mine I would colour code it
Cheers for posting all the great piccies
