LOLOLOL

I want some of whatever your friend is smoking.... 1987 Prelude SI has 2.0L 110hp I-4. Expect it's 1/4 mile time to be somewhere in the high 16-low 17 ballpark. 0-60 in 9-10 seconds. Aftermarket support for these cars is virtually nil... you will rape him. Bet him $10 and then whoop his ***.

actually......

aren't they 4 wheel drive? or was that for the early 90's prelude si's? if your racing curves and he has more than the usual(spray, charger....), it has a slight but still improbable chance of beating you. if its stock have fun laughing at him, then make him bu you gas for your trouble.

I don't know if the H22 will fit in that car. Actually, I'm willing to bet it won't. At least not without a lot of work. For that kind of money. He could get a newer lude.

That looks like the rear end of a 4th gen Maxima j/k Isn't the type of steering where all 4 wheels turn.. I think the rear wheels turn slightly so u can bust really good u-turns.

Yep that's correct! The rear wheels move as well to assist in steering. I remember the TV commercial where a Prelude is run through a cone course set up so that it imitates passing another car. It just does it tighter than a regular car. I think I may still have the Car & Driver magazine on it somewhere....

why would you waste the money for an engine swap on a 87 prelude?
