POS.

My car would make mince meat out of it.

Seriously, I should look into it

I tried to look for them but I couldn't find it and I didn't want to waste my time.

But ya, at least I know it'* a POS. 2.0L I4, that'* all I found

You gonna race one? If so, don't sweat it.

I think maybe they had a 4WS Prelude. But other than that, stock and that old...
I know of only one 3rd gen Prelude in good shape, and it'* sitting on jacks in a garage. All others I see have rusted out and run like crap.

Yeah, they had a 4WS, I saw one when I was looking it up. They were some ugly cars!

Well, I smoked a 2K Eclipse on the roll today on the hwy, so I'm dead sure you can take on an 89 Prelude.

And then Honda discontinued them, and replaced them with the more expensive S2000.
