S Spec Prelude

[ATR84]

Small updated

Car is booked in on Monday to get the polybush kit fitted, the respray of the bonnet, roof and front and back bumper and motegi kit being fitted in 2 weeks and in the meantime im thinking about ordering the skunk2 megapower exhaust...

Any one had one of these and noticed much difference? Or has anyone got any exhaust system recommendations.. I was going to get a custom one made by longlife in basingstoke but they are fully booked until june

I had the Skunk 2 megapower on my 4th gen. Sounded lovely, it is a loud system though.

Bit of a set back, my mate who was going to fit the polybush set reckons only one of the bushes from the 4th gen kit fits the my prelude!

So ive had to order the whole kit for the 5th gen, more expense

Make sure your mate reimburses you once you get them and do a comparison of each one

Has he physically checked them? Should only be the front upper arms that differ between 4th and 5th gen bushes

I have an entire 4th gen master set (excluding the front uppers) fitted to my SiR (Apparently there's no difference between an SiR and an S-Spec with regards to bushes).

Yeah him and one other (the guy loves all things jap and has worked on all different hondas) checked them took the front arm off and other parts and checked them and said they dont fit, well they do fit but not properly apparently there would be space between the bush and then mental? I cant remember exactly what he said.

Just frustrating because i paid them 2 hours labour to find out they dont fit!

Im very tempted by it, i like loud

But i think i may have to get a cheaper one (like an SRS) just for the time being becuase i had to spend £250 in the polybush kit.

With any exhaust system i fit will i need a different cat? Ive read things about the JDM cat being different to uk Spec

Can you remember which they said did fit? The rear upper and lower arms are certainly the same for example. Doesn't really make sense

They only touched the front i think before realising some dont fit.

They didnt even get round to the back because they didnt wanna waste time!

It doesnt make sense, everyone on here says they would fit but he said they dont

He wouldnt mess me around either and like i said the guy he was with who has worked on a load of hondas also said they dont fit!

You had the seperate 5th gen front arm kit (16.3119) right?...

No i told him i was gonna order these and to do them at a later date (arse about face i know however i wanted it done as my car is driving awful atm)

[NafemanNathan]

So do you think he would have forgotten that and tried fitting the 4th gen fronts?...

Hmm potentially, i might go back to him prior to ordering the 5th gen kit (i placed an order yesterday which i just found out got cancelled because it isnt in stock) and show him the responses on here, just to see what he says

Good idea Fingers crossed.
