Justin's 5th Gen

jdeale84 · Post by **jdeale84** » Fri Oct 20, 2023 2:18 am

So this is this is the 5G that is being funded by a part time job (so the build is slow but its there). I'm going for a stylish, comfortable, JDM look but also with the fun of the manual VTEC.
So far its mainly been maintenance but it does have some performance mods.

Performance:
- SRS exhausts manifold and downpipe
- Cold air intake (kinda, not finished yet)
- Mugen oil cap (+5hp)
- D1 spec radiator cap (+5hp)
- Some cheap £50 cat that made the car sound 10x better.
- HKS catback Exhaust system

Will be updating the thread as I get more done to it. The main things on my to do list are:
- Coilovers
- Lighter flywheel
- New rear arches

Just had a good mate of mine take some pictures that look incredible that I am desperate to share so here they are...

Fab pics, great to see it.
you've underestimated the amount of bhp the mugen oil cap adds, though!!!

great pics of your lude - the Motegi body kit really suits this colour of 5th gen.

I like the Motegi alloys that are on the car- I wouldn't be in any hurry to get rid of them if I were you.

Thank you all, She really is my pride and joy and I intend on keeping her running as long as possible.
I can't believe I forgot to show a picture of the engine bay, I've tried my best to make it as beautiful as the rest of the car.

The stainless steel headers (that need some polish), metal intake, red valve cover and all the various new components in the car make it look pristine...

Whats that you say? You haven't see a Wings West prelude in a while? Let me refresh your memory...

The spoiler is still in the post, so is the new rear number plate, and obviously I need to paint it, but otherwise its almost there and if she wasn't already a head turner, she definitely is now. Although that may be because of the mismatched colours rather than the kit
