well to begin with the magna was designed as a family car. the engine itself being a 2.6l its for a 4 cyl is a big engine, made to be able to pull 5 people up a hill..

try that in a prelude the engine will die in the arse..

The preludes smaller 2l chamber engine makes it quicker at start off.


well thats one thing..

also it might also be lighter im not sure

Most hondas are damn quick - yeah its VTEC, yeah they are light - and yes they are designed encredably well... WIth fingers crossed ill be driving one after my 21st (thanks Barney)

We had a gen 3 prelude and it went damn hard - and it was auto ... Scared the pants off alot of unsuspecting victims... :badgrin:

Mate from work has just bought a silver 1998 Honda Prelude Semi-automatic (neweset shape) with 140,000 kms or so for $13,500. What a steal! Most are like $18,000 or so for that year and kms.

You sure, cause my stationwagon rips ludes to 80 ay, just a pod, cold air intake and a Xhaust. maybe you were racing a ghost lude.

Magnamatic

Yeah the prelude had wings and it flew away.

magnatron
03-04-2005, 06:09 PM
actually i was reading an old inside sport the other day, and it said the mx6 turbo was one of the worst coupes ever made, along with the ford capri. i dont know about any of yous, but i can see their point.

If I don't have a big F**K off wing on my car it would fly away too when i accelerate from the lights

03-04-2005, 06:10 PM
nah man it was opposite day when you read that mag

magnatron
03-04-2005, 06:12 PM
i swear if i drove a mx6 i would swap it for a gen 2 magna. might be a downgrade in speed somewhat, but its an increase in class.

Magnamatic
03-04-2005, 06:13 PM
yeah ive heard mazdas go brap brap, rebuild. :gtfo: :bowrofl:

I'd actually call it a vicious circle of death.

magnatron
03-04-2005, 06:17 PM
yeah i dunno actually ay. mazdas are off the road far too much, but when on the road the rx-7s are machines. but mazda is only for rotaries, anything else by them is rubbish.

actually ive got a friend who drives one of those MX 6's. hes actually too scared to up his boost at all, due to many many engine problems.

engine problems being he will be snobbed for having the most powerful engine in the world!

This tread has gone off topic. isnt this meant to be paying out brendans friend who drives a "she"lude. i mean, im all for hairdressers, but as racers.....

Magnamatic
03-04-2005, 06:29 PM
