I got my 99 SH about 8 months ago, it was over all in fantastic shape, here's what I've done to keep it moving forward.

  1. The suspension was probably the original suspension. I got new struts.
    (I put 'stock' ones on, but I bought a full set of KONI Yellow's, but the mechanic i took the car too wouldn't put them on, and didn't give me a good reason, I think he was just lazy.
    I'm going to put it in the shop in September for a full suspension redo, or as much as needed, control arms, ball joints, etc... I found a classic japanese mechanic in my area that I feel will do a good job.
  2. I had to get new brake pads and rotors also, cause they were VERY old - I got these : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AGBTCQK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  3. as stated in another comment here, get all the fluids changed, change the fluid filters, use higher quality oils. And stay on top of the oil level ... My car burns oil... change the air filters. Use premium grade fuel.
  4. Beyond that, you are dealing with a 20 year old car, so some of the performance aspects may have degraded beyond a point of "basic" maintenance making it back to tip top shape, but, assuming things are in good order, you're going to have a lot of fun and really enjoy it.

    Even with the very basic repairs I've done, the car feels fantastic and drives really well.

    It's a honda, so assuming the drive train is solid, and you stay on top of the maintenance, it's going to last a really long time.

    Enjoy!

    As an aside, there's a TON of good resources in the sidebar of this subreddit, but also, look up the Honda Prelude facebook groups. There's A LOT of activity over there, super friendly people.

I have a 98 base as well, got this off Amazon:

MagnaFlow 22644 Direct Fit Catalytic Converter (Non CARB compliant) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0010XXX0A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_KsFIAb6MBNBQ8

Non CARB. Direct fit bolt on. If needed, return policy from Amazon is good.

Could you link to the exact muffler you have? I'm really curious about Vibrant products. I see the 1146 Street Power muffler on Amazon for less than $100. Is that the one?

Be sure to check them again after you get them all set. Sometimes the screw will turn a bit and throw the adjustment off while you’re tightening the nut.

Also, there’s a sequence to tightening the nuts that hold the valve cover down. (I didn’t know that the first time, thought I’d mention it)

They sell a “special tool”, it’s basically a screwdriver and wrench combined. Works perfectly for this job. I’ve done it several times with basic tools, but this thing helps.

I don’t think I paid that much for mine. Same google search had them for $13 at home depot

Even though they are discontinued, Honda still has them for sale on their Amazon account.
