I’m rebuilding my Honda H22A4. As you can see, its sleeved, so the walls are a different material than the original FRM coating.

I was wondering if I could use oem/oem replacement pistons with different rings.

Forged pistons are also an option, but can I run them without a tune? I’m also worried about expansion size.

Just aiming for stock power numbers, and I have to stay untuned to keep ATTS, any advice helps!

Rebuilding this 1999 prelude but having trouble sourcing parts and what parts to get, looking to make it reliable and fun with a budget. Where can I find parts?

The fires in CO these past few days have been devastating, took our ranch out near Beulah. So why not lighten the mood with my 94 Prelude!

Freshly copped ‘89 ‘lude 2.0si! Man these are a beauty 😮‍💨

I have tracked down a knocking noise from the Rear, to be my Rear Inner Tie/Track Rods. Can these be replaced separately to the 4WS unit?

If they can be, are they the same as the front inner rods?

Where can I get them from? I cant see them anywhere

Thanks in advance,
PFA

Wanted an aggressive, aerospace-inspired look for my project car, so I engineered this skeletonized billet shift knob. What do you guys think of the mechanical aesthetic?

For those that have removed and reinstalled the wiper cowl and hinge covers, is it possible to do without removing the hood?

I'm having a pickle of a time trying to get the cowl back on while the end pieces are on. I believe the end pieces have a tab that goes under the windshield trim/seal, but that doesn't seem possible with the hood/hinges in the way. Without the end pieces, I could get it on no problem, but there doesn't seem to be a good way to get the ends on when the cowl is pushed in to to the clip holders.

Photo for clarity (not my vehicle)

EDIT - Does anyone have a clear photo of the hinge area (with cover installed) with the hood closed?

I've had my 2000 apart for too long. I have a washer fluid hose with no clear attachment point. In the picture above, I have arrows pointing to the hose as well as something in the hinge (which I thought was a drain).

Is the fluid connection inside the fender liner?

Got a cheap Android Headunit on Amazon during Prime days. Spent the weekend setting it up to this point. I'm really digging it, and the live wallpaper was pieced together by me too.

My friend just bought this 1998 prelude as his dream car and 10 miles from home the engine started knocking. This was after driving it almost 300 miles home too. He's stuck deciding if he wants to rebuild the engine, have a shop rebuild it, or swap in a remanned engine one. Any input would be a help. We're out in the St Louis area so any info on good shops would be nice.

Hi all, just a quick question. My temp gauge on my Honda prelude 5th gen 1999 acts strange. It surges ever so slightly between the (bottom and top) lines on the little icon on the cluster. I have recently had the water pump and thermostat replaced from a mechanic shop. I have also personally checked that the coolant is bled correctly. Apon a small test drive the lower coolant hose is not getting as hot as the top. My thoughts is a dodgy or incorrect thermostat. Any advice?

(Picture for reference of minor surges) will go up and down within thoes lines whist driving every few minutes) also noticed the cooling fan was not running but fuses were good. Thanks

Searching for molding weather trim around the entire car. I’ve searched Honda Parts Now, Honda OEM, Honda Factory Parts… eBay seems to be my best bet but I’m a bit confused as it seems most of these door strips seem to be the bottom or bottom/side piece only. Has anyone had luck with this?
