You've only got one header to be installed, since it's an I4.
I know. :P

Nice....I've always loved that body style and those wheels on that car. I love the way it looks so wide & low. It kinda reminds me of a door stop, LOL, but I mean that in a good way.

It is low even at factory height. I sit much lower than the 2001 Ford Mustang we have here. I feel like I'm driving a Miata, but much longer body.

My Civic is a very low sitting car. I don't know about newer Hondas, but it seemed that many of the older ones were low sitting vehicles. The most confused was when I borrowed a friend's Ford Expedition to move something, drove it for 8ish hours in one day, then went back to the Civic that night. I was like, can I see under all the rest of the cars now??

I remember driving the Mustang for two months while my car was out of commission. I almost fell on my arse trying to get in due to it being lower. But once I get in and out of it over the past week. I got use to it really quick. I think Honda cars are just low in general.

Well, I bought me some Honda S2000 rims for my Prelude. But it'd be a while before I get any pictures of it. I have to drive 3 hours to San Antonio to pick them up :(

My first car was an 85 Prelude and the first thing anyone commented on in that car was how low your would sit in that car

Here's updated pictures of my car after getting new rims on her.
Image

I was at a corner store about to get ready to leave. A black older guy walked up to my car talking about "Prelude." He was telling me how you don't see them much any more. I told him, "Yeah, they are rare to find on the streets." Because they are rare to see on the streets. Asking me what all modifications I have done to her. Just really only a crappy intake (which I didn't install) and an exhaust.

My mum hates getting into my Prelude. She loves to complain on how low it sits. The seats inside of the car are low too. When I get into the other car (in the picture above). I feel like I am in a barber chair. This car makes me feel like I'm not sitting in the seat. I wonder how it will feel when I drop the car another 2 inches. xD

I like the rims. When you drop it another 2 inches, you can just do a "trust fall" into the car seat :lol: . Just don't turn it into a ricer with underglow lighting and crazy curtains or anything... we'd have to laugh at you then :wink: :lol:

you should see how low my 91 civic sits. There are times where the top of the tire sits higher than me.

I plan to drop it as low as I can but not way too low. But first I'm getting a performance header and traction bar first then I will go after coilovers next.
