Oh, my bad. Well if you look on gumtree there's a red 4th gen up for £475 in Hampshire, that's mine! Will post pics as soon as I get it.

Yea that's the one, but it isn't actually that colour at all. She put a pic up from google cause it was too dark to take photos last night. It's a lighter red, different wheels, looks pretty sweet. It's a 1995 model. Just wondering if it's a h22a1 or h22a2. I guess I just have to wait and find out.

If it is a UK car it will be an H22a2. I think H22a1's were only in the US?

This ^^^^

The JDM 4th gen engine is the H22A (no number after it)

Ahhh ok so I got a h22a2. So is this 184bhp? And how come it's that low horse power? Is it just because of a restrictive intake and exhaust manifold and exhaust? Looking to upgrade all this and just wondering what power I might achieve.

On the dyno there have been H22A2's putting some H22A's to shame, so don't get too hung up about having an A2.

To answer your question about manifold and intake...
There's no difference to the intake except the A2 has an extra resonator on the main plenum (u shaped thing) but that wouldn't affect the power. The manifold is cast rather than tubular, cat is slightly longer. The exhaust is different because the JDM has extra heat shields etc. but nothing that would affect restriction compared to a JDM.
Don't know what difference that all adds up to though - there are other reasons why an A2 is allegedly lower power.

Picked up my prelude today.... Love it!!! Awesome to drive, picks up VTEC real good! Got a few things wrong with it, 4ws light is on?? Abs light is on?? And the heater blower doesn't work, no lights on dash for the heater either so hoping it's a fuse.
