Not saying it's an Accord Type-r, but could you badge it as a Prelude Type-r? It's not like you'd be kidding yourself, as the engine and box would be there, it'd be a pretty mean car!

no

type r is an ideal all type r's had there own race series which is why they were type r's there is an accord type s if you put the engine from that into a lude doesnt make it a type s lude.

what would be the point of owning a premier badged car if anyone could go to halfrauds and buy the badge and stick it on and call it genuine??

Think you're missing his light-hearted point Merc

....apparently some people don't even pay attention to the car's they're stealing badges off, these days!

The guy appreciated the pointer I gave him

no chance on a PTR. Too fast. why buy the NSX when you can have a PTR

Because look!

In all seriousness though I think if you're going to go to as much effort as rooneyrocket/rocketrooney (can't remember!

) and swap all the Type S bits into an SiR then maybe you could call it a Type S? Not like what you see on PreludePower with some guys putting the Type S lip and wing and the badges and calling that job done

No, definitely not that, but I know what JJ Martin's getting at. If by some fantastic event you ended up with an NSX engine driving the back wheels of your lude, you're gonna want more than a badge that says VTEC Prelude on the back aren't you?

... And you'd have good reason to justify a cross-bred-badge
