 MY Tuning philosophy: Zen tune..... Balance. Harmony between man and machine. Perfomance and style. Luxury and practicality. Obsession and hobby.When you take the best elements of each.You will get all around bliss.I have seen it all. Never overdo. Loud colors and strange designs wear out fast. Keep it simple and elegant. But don't stray away from the purpose of your vehicle. Peace love and harmony to all the real tuners!

I bought the car with no engine. Just a rolling chassis.

ILLUDE-U's 1997 Honda PreludeJDM h22a with 28kilometers Bought 7 years ago.

ILLUDE-U's 1997 Honda PreludeMy second set of wheels 18s.

Heres the beginning.........This car was beat to crap. Broken windshield. busted light.fender, hood. airbags, interior was striped wiring harness missing.Oh yeah and the engine bay was empty. I had to put every single wire bracket and bolt back in it.I also had to convert the obd1 jdm engine to obd 2.Myself. with the help of a good friend.A converted engine runs better.than any p28 crap. Why?  The resistance on the injectors are diff. The map sensor is different and the H series is quite a bit differnent than the bseries d series and even f series. The only ecu that works good on a prelude vtec is a prelude vtec. Also Od2 to obd 1 wiring harnesses still have bugs Why? Differents sensors. In different places. Do your research. I had this engine in my accord for about 3 years but I took it out. Why? It ran differently than I expected. WARNING: Never run a H Series With a F series tranny.It will suck horrilby.Big difference through 3,4,5 gears.1 and second are not noticeable. I raced my friend before I took the motor out. ILLUDE-U's 1997 Honda Prelude  ILLUDE-U's 1997 Honda Prelude

I believe in doing things right so I took the car apart. I repainted the calipers and the rotors I fabricated new brackets for the bodykit. I repainted the wheel well.

This is what it looked like fresh out of the paint shop. Old look, R33 is not the newest style bumper around you know. So I had to add the black trim to give it the factory look.

All my leds. Third brake and tail. I put two separate type in the tail. 1 round one in the middle with 6leds in a circle and the leds at the top and bottom. To create a mean look. Like terminator.

I thought this was tight.

I started a new project so I put my stock parts back on. Perfect match on the color.

ILLUDE-U's 1997 Honda PreludeILLUDE-U's 1997 Honda Prelude

I decided to change up the look a bit. I went darker and meaner. I blacked out the tails,turn signals and even blacked out the honda emblems. I also reinforced my kit and laid down 3oz of fiberglass in side of it.I also changed the color scheme up a bit. too.
