Ok this is going to sound somewhat dumb so here it goes:

I am looking to buy a 4TH gen Prelude with the H22A and I was wondering if the 5TH gen front end will fit. I looked at the dimensions and they are very close. Any help would be appreciated.

You're all about the front end conversions, aren't ya?

92-96 front end preludes (4th gen) looks way better then the 5th gen preludes, if anything I would convert the 5th gen back lights to the 4th gen, now that would be sick!

What's wrong with the fifth-gen rear end? In my opinion it's very clean looking...nice and simple, half-red/half-clear tails, etc.

Anyhoo, I guess I just don't really see the point of conversions like this. Think about it...you're probably gonna spend at least a couple grand, if not more, on doing a conversion like this (unless you can do paint and body work yourself).

For that kind of money, you might as well just spend it upfront and buy a 5th-gen Prelude to start with. Then you'll have a newer car with the front end that you want.

Just my opinion...take it or leave it...

agreed.. why spend that much on something like that?? if its to be original, goodluck.. i'm sure just about every combination has been done

Nothing wrong with the 5th gen rear end, I said I would swap the 5th gen rear on a 4th gen cause the 5th rear end are clean looking.

i couldnt have said it any better than you sir!!

Yeah, just tryna be unique ya know. I love all Preludes but I think a 5TH gen front end would look sick on a 4TH gen. Ya know those headlights with the triangular taillights. Thanks for the opinions though.

Yeah just wanna be unique. I also wanted to swap a 1st gen Miata front end onto a 2nd gen RX-7 about a yr and a half ago.

Today was a good day, just like the Ice Cube song. I just bought a 95 Prelude VTEC. Bone stock, perfect project car. Any questions on it just ask.

BrutalB83 · 05-06-2008, 01:07 AM

Price? Mileage? Condition?

Mugen Accord · 05-27-2008, 08:03 PM

1000k, 337k on the body, about 120k on engine, JDM H22A, needs body work and interior, owner just wanted to get rid of it

BrutalB83 · 05-27-2008, 08:14 PM

Whoa, delayed response!

Sounds like a pretty good deal man...

Mugen Accord · 05-27-2008, 08:19 PM

Ya lol I havent been able to get on here in a while. Been busy with work n school. But ya I thought it was a killer deal. Oh it needs a valve cover gasket but thats an eazy fix lol. After that it should pass smog!!!

Uncle Buck · 05-29-2008, 08:06 PM

i hate to ask how much you paid for it..... considering the chassis has that many miles on it..... Jdm H22 or not

Mugen Accord · 07-05-2008, 09:19 PM

$1000
