Talk:Honda Prelude
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Question: What does Si on the Honda vehicle line mean? For example Honda Prelude 2.2 L SH. SH stands for "Super Handling". I have yet to figure this out.
Answer: Si stands for Sport Injection. Si models began with the Civic/CRX Si models in the early to mid 1980s. For instance, the top Civic was a carbureted "S" model until the 1986 introduction of the fuel-injected "Si". The industry was still transitioning to fuel injection at the time, so it was important to point out the feature. Honda simply stuck with this popular model designation from then on.
[edit] Series III steering
I had the cheap version without the four wheel steering (the "2.0 EX") for a while. It under-steered appallingly, to the point of being dangerous when driven hard. It's the reason I got rid of it. I'm pretty confident it wasn't a fault with my particular car. I think it's worth mentioning that perhaps the car wasn't engineered to work without the four wheel steering, and that the decision to make a low-cost version may have been a bad one. But obviously, this is original research. Does anybody have any magazine reviews or other references we could cite, in which this was ever documented or discussed? – Kieran T (talk | contribs) 16:07, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] generation 4 started in 92 not 91
I believe the info about the 91 'lude is wrong —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.171.160.87 (talk • contribs) 05:34, September 2, 2006.
- Gen 4 did start in 1991 in Japan. See this link.
I have a 93 gen 4, my particular model, Si VTEC, came out in 1991 without a shadow of a doubt.
[edit] 5th gen brake size
I can not recall what size they are exactly, but they are no way near 15 and 14in. Someone who knows should fix this. --Integra15 21:27, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
I have ,what my title says it is, a 1991 Honda Prelude SiR. The model on the title says SiR. The model discription says Si ALB/. Can any one tell me more about the SiR. I have contact the Honda Motors Headquarters, and they said that the R stood for Type R. It was just a model they provided in Japan. I still can't find any info on this. I believe the title and Honda themselves, but I want more info. Thanks
