Prelude story - part 2 now available - can you fact check me

Post by **NafemanNathan** » Mon Apr 09, 2018 10:46 pm

142 was the figure I had in my head. Just wasn't 100%

Hi Richard,

Great post, you are not a journalist are you? You have the skills!

Noticed its now being promoted on home page, deserves it too. Anything that promotes the Prelude in such a well balanced way with great visuals has to be good for the car and the "club". You can feel the love!

Congratulations and very well done!

Pete

Sir S-Spec had the same lump (Red top H22A - 220ps/217bhp) as the Type-S but with a factory LSD instead of ATTS.

Ofcourse, I'm biased but I think the S-Spec is far more rarer then the Type-S...

Pretty sure there are less SiRs than Type-Ss in the country

No I don’t think so. There would be more actual SiR in the country then Type-S for sure (Autos and Manuals)

Based on?...

I'm just going by the forum. Aren't there more members with Type-Ss?

Initially hadn't realised the SiR-Spec had the Type S H22, (was the H22 just a tuned A8?).

Is the SiR-Spec the hidden gem of the Lude line up?

Kinda think I should do a trilogy now, but, can't figure out a narrative. The 'Addiction' series seems to be picking up views.

Not really (Although I personnally would always choose an SiR over a Type-S). It's the BB4 of the 5th gen world (197bhp H22a with 2WS with any possible upgrade option), so it's basically the slightly lesser-powered version of the S-Spec.

If you're looking for a 5th gen to modify performance wise, then either the S-Spec or the SiR are the best bases to start with.
