Speed and power:
If you want to push your Prelude a little faster, you have a few different options. The first performance upgrade most prelude owners go for is the turbo kit. If you turbocharge your engine, it will increase the horsepower on your prelude by up to 50%. If you are looking for a more affordable method to increase performance, you could go for an exhaust manifold. replacing your exhaust manifold system with an aftermarket manifold will decrease the pressure on your engine cylinders and increase performance. Another option would be to replace the camshaft on your prelude. The timing of opening and closing the valves is crucial to maintain performance at higher speeds, and a having a good camshaft is important. One thing that will increase your engine's power and performance is a cold air intake. A cold air intake is somewhat self-explanatory, it takes in cold air in order to lower your engine temperature. These performance parts are not terribly hard to find at a discount and can greatly help the performance of your prelude.
Fuel Economy:
Everyone wants to have better fuel mileage so they can stretch their dollar to the limit. One thing not many people think to do right away is to change the catalytic converter. If the catalytic converter on your prelude is clogged, it can send incorrect readings and your air fuel mixture will be off. Second, using synthetic oils will give your car up to 10 extra mpg. Other than that, the best way is to avoid braking any more than you have to. Overbraking puts wear and tear on your brake pads and wastes fuel you have burned to accelerate. There are many accessories and mods that claim to increase your gas mileage and performance, but very few of them actually work and many of them can actually hurt your gas mileage and performance, so be wary.
Handling:
Reducing drag is the name of the game when it comes to handling performance. Try lowering kits, body kits, and spoilers to increase airflow over your car and decrease wind resistance. Body kits will also lighten your car so it will be quicker on the road. These things also improve fuel economy as well.
