- I'm so happy to be dropping this episode in the BTS series! During my last trip to TX I made sure to spend time with good people whose personalities, stories, and build styles deserve to be highlighted and shared. The BEHIND THE SCENES series is all about shining the light on good people with important and inspirational stories that will benefit the community and culture, so come with me as we go behind the scenes in Houston, TX, with Chris and his Prelude build.
Please help me fight the algorithm and let's grow this channel together by liking this video, subscribing to this channel, and sharing it with others so we can keep shining the light on good people, small businesses, and others that deserve acknowledgement and recognition for how they POSITIVELY contribute to the culture!

Beautifully done Big Mike! Can't thank you enough for spending the time with us in Texas and for the honor of you filming the blue lady and capturing the history of the car. I appreciate it and you sir. 🙏🏽
You're welcome and thank you for your time and hospitality. It feels good to share your story with the community and culture.
It is nice to see you are still sticking with the BB6 as you project car. I think the last time I saw your car, was at the BBA15 annual meet. I am slowly getting my BB6 back into nicer condition after letting it sit as a backup vehicle for many years. Definitely need another BBA meet to hang out and talk Preludes.
Do you have instagram chris ?
Super clean. Nice color. Im 69 retired lineman in ct. Have a 98 prelude 5 speed eucalyptus green with 221,000 miles. Also have a 2006 subie sti. Have had 3 preludes an 86 si baby blue, a 93 vtec dark breen and the 98.
Hey I’m in ct as well about to buy my first lude super excited
By far the nicest Prelude I've ever seen. That engine build is phenomenal
He's done a beautiful job on this car over the years, that's for sure. Welcome to the channel and the family here, I appreciate you watching and supporting. More episodes dropping weekly!
@@BigMikeEdition, No question it's incredible. Keep the videos coming. Would love to see an RSX Type S or a Interga Type R ☺
@@thinkforyourself5672 More episodes are on the way. As for cars, as you watch the BTS series here on my channel, you'll see that what I do here is far more about the people than it is about cars. Good people with good attitudes and a positive story to tell are who I focus on, their car or the type of car is secondary. I'm all about people and the community. But keep subscribed and keep tuned in, more great content is on the way.
Love the car, I currently have a 1999 Prelude (H22). It's been my daily driver for about 22 years now. I also live in Texas and enjoy going to Buc-ee's.
I had a 97 SH back in the early 2000s. Such a great chassis. It handles incredibly well and the ATTS makes it power out of corners different than any FWD car. Super smooth highway cruiser to. Just a really underrated coupe.
Welcome to the family here on my channel. Russ. I appreciate you watching and subscribing.
@@BigMikeEdition Thanks man! Looking forward to more content.
Papa smurf! You and joe are the reason I built my prelude. Thank you for everything you do for the community!!
I do think Chris will be able to read this at some point because it looks like you're talking to me LOL. I'll let him know, but thank you for watching and liking the video and supporting this channel!
Thank you very much Raven, been awhile since I've heard that Smurf nickname 😅
@@BigMikeEdition that's to you too 😉
Joe Gomez? Haven’t heard that name in a while! Loved his red rhd 5g. Hope he’s doing well.
My booooy chriisssss
This car rocks, today I bought a 97 Prelude, one elderly owner so she's stock with 90.000 miles for $800. Blue as well! Searching U Tube for inspiration and I've found it with your vid. Much love to you both for sharing this car!
Oh wow! Great find! What state did you find it in? I'm so glad you found this video and got to learn about Chris and his build. Thank you for watching and liking and supporting this channel!
you lucky fuck no shot you paid 800
That’s well said. It’s the first love. I still missed my 98’, that’s why watched the entire video. Simply amazing!
Thank you for joining the family here on my YT channel, and for watching the full video.
I been considering the 5th gen. This is a beautiful car for sure much love
Welcome to the community and family here on my channel. I appreciate you watching and supporting the content here.
One of the original BBALLIANCE members , great guy, great person from the community.
Yup. Definitely a great guy. Calm, class act. These are the types of people who I’m shining the light on to help better the community and culture.
That engine bay is beautiful 👌🏼
Yes, it really is. And the research and reasons behind the parts selection is awesome to share with all of you.
Been following Chris and his gorgeous blue prelude for a while now. I draw a lot of inspiration off of his simple clean design while planning my own build.
This is awesome to read! Thank you for watching this video and supporting this channel. You can also see the build of a 5th gen here on my channel and perhaps draw even more inspiration.
@@BigMikeEdition Oh, I definitely follow your build too. Your setup is just so clean it constantly inspires. Just recorded bleeding our new Mishi cooling system in our prelude. So hopefully I can get some more content up again. I miss our old prelude that I was doing the tucks/deletes on.
Beautiful. No words. Just awe. Thank you for sharing.
It really is beautiful, and Chris is a good guy. You're welcome and thank you for joining the family here on my YT channel. There are so many more episodes on the way, feel free to hit the bell and stay tuned! I appreciate you.
Damn, gorgeous Prelude with K swap turbo, 👍. Honda tuning was badass in 90's, I missed it. I almost bought 01' Prelude but sold out, damn.
Yea the car is beautiful and the owner is a great guy. Thanks for watching and liking this video and supporting this channel!
These Preludes are timeless. Beautiful color. I wish Honda would bring back Preludes.
I dig these chassis, too. Thanks for watching and supporting this channel. More content to come!
I love it , great build
Yes, definitely. And a really great guy, too. Thanks for watching and liking and supporting this channel! More BTS episodes dropping weekly!
Whenever I see a Prelude out on the road I cry. I believe that it is the most beautiful car ever produced and it evokes a rush of emotion in me I can’t explain. I have owned two 5th gens in my life and it is my dream to own another one.
Don't cry, and go get another one immediately! LOL
My first car was a black 1998 Prelude SH used with 25k miles clean. I loved that car to death, I also was in High School in the late 90s too. No lie my 40yr old ass shed a few tears watching this. This is the nicest Lude I have ever seen!! Thank You brother!!! 🔥🙏🏽
Thank you for watching and liking the video and subscribing to the channel. Your emotional reaction means a lot in that the quality of the content is resonating with people. Chris and his build are great and provide value to the community. Please feel free to share this channel with your peers and fellow enthusiasts. Welcome to the family!
Love the channel and the way you interview. It’s very personal.
Thank you very much, Nathaniel. It means a lot when people can feel that. I treat everyone with respect and converse with them in a way so that they're comfortable doing the interview, and it's just that much easier when the person is super chill and cool like Chris is. Thanks for joining the family here on my YT channel, I look forward to reading your comments on the other videos/interviews/build episodes!
Beautiful story! Thank you Big Mike and Chris.
I appreciate you
what a beauty great set up, picked a really nice car to work on, I totally get the shape/style of it and the owner kept it as is.
Yea, Chris did a fantastic job on it.
Glad I found your channel. Mike I remember when you took 1st place for your 4th Gen lude at a Turnerr Evolution show for your unique custom build. That was like 10 years ago '
Welcome to the channel and the family! I look forward to you watching the other episodes and reading your comments on them, as well.
2 of our prelude idols 🤘🏼
I appreciate the notion, but as for me I'm no such thing. It's bigger than just a chassis or a car to me, it's about inspiring people to realize that with patience, execution, details, and higher standards they can all build something timeless and inspiring.
@@BigMikeEdition yes this is facts I should’ve phrased it out automotive idols
Great video man, the white lude passing hailing Chris’s lude at the end that was chilled bro
Thank you for the love for this episode, and watching and liking and subscribing to the channel. That was the homie in the white Prelude, he was cruising with us. Definitely great times in TX, and more BTS episodes have dropped since this one and more are dropping all year!
🙌 amazing video! Thanks Mike and Chris for this great inside take 💙
Thanks for watching and supporting this content! Chris is someone a lot of people can learn from and be inspired by.
This bb6 so clean I have to see it in person
Much love big Mike you give these preludes some love I feel like the import scene leaves the preludes out 🙏
Yes, it is lovely to see in person. Thanks for watching and liking and subscribing and all of those things to support the channel and the content I create to benefit the community and culture. I appreciate you.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 great feature!!!
Thank you! And thank you for watching and liking this video and supporting this channel. More episodes are dropping soon!
My wife and I have been to that exact same Buc-ee's on a road trip in her 5th gen Prelude!
Oh, that's cool LOL. Thank you for watching and liking this video and supporting this channel!
Love this car 💙💙💙 and the way you do the interview, very in depth and onto the person behind the car, lovely 🙏
Yes, it's beautiful. Thank you for the kind words about my conversation and interview style. There are so many other great cars and people who are featured in the BEHIND THE SCENES series here on my channel, I look forward to you watching them!
Quality interview. I'm pulling the h22a1 out my bb2 to run in my 140k miles 5spd 01 EBP SH and take the numbers matching train and safeguard it. The bb2 is now a k swap project.
I'm with you Mike. The 4th gen is my absolute favorite. I am proud to own the EBP SH as well but it won't EVER be modified from stock nor will I drive it much but keep the blood flowing
Thanks for watching and joining the family here on my YT channel. There are so many more episodes to come!
inspirational prelude and story! Thanks for this content!
Both he and the car really are. You're welcome and thank you for supporting this channel! Share with your friends and let's grow this together. New episode dropping every week!
First of all beautiful car.
My very first car was also a Honda Prelude 5th gen.
I've owned it for 10 straight years now enjoy the journey with her.
So I know the passion you're talking about.👍
Thanks for watching this episode and liking it and subscribing to support the content. It's a fantastic car and Chris is a great guy who deserves the recognition.
Everyone has seen your 4th gen
Big Mike.👍Honda guru.
So to get your stamp of approval is a big deal.
You would have made that guy's day.
@@xtrongarage9666 I don't know if I made his day or not, my focus is shining the light on good people with positive attitudes and work ethics so that they can be a positive influence on the community and culture.
Wow beautiful project! 👍🏻👍🏻
Yea Chris did a fantastic job on this. You can see other projects I'm working on and with on my IG as well, see you there! And thanks for watching and joining the family here on my YT channel.
Thing is perfection. Thank u for the interview and sharing this story.
It is gorgeous. You're welcome and thank you for watching and liking and subscribing and all that to support this channel and quality content and people!
Man that car is beautiful hopefully I can find a prelude one day so hard to find that’s in decent condition
It is beautiful and yes, you can find a *Prelude one day when you’re ready
Been thinking about these cars lately. Love it! Love the color it’s like my vette. 👍🏾
Awesome! Thanks for watching and joining the family here on my YT channel. I appreciate you.
@BigMike first time viewer, thanks for sharing this car with us. Also, thanks for not recording in the store, I appreciate that.
I want to touch and drive that car. I love Preludes, I have one, I can't wait to have it the way I envision it. It was nice seeing someone else's super clean detailed (though costly ) work. I love that it's his forever car as well.
Welcome to the family on this channel! Thank you for watching and liking and supporting the channel. Chris is a great guy and his demeanor and mindset show in his car build. No matter what chassis, when you have the right mindset and are willing to work for quality, authentic parts, any build will come out memorable and worthy of respects. You'll see that in the other BEHIND THE SCENES episodes here on the channel. I look forward to hearing from you in the comments on those episodes!
I'm super happy I took the time to watch this, beautifully done my friends 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for taking the time to watch and share it with your people. It was fun making it with Chris and his build.
That’s the cleanest engine bay I’ve ever seen in my life.
It is a very well done engine bay, that is for sure. There are so many works of art that people are creating these days, it's amazing to see the level and bar that has been set and people striving to meet or exceed it. This engine is a fantastic, simple example of all of that.
What a beautiful car.
It really is. Welcome to the family here on my channel, I appreciate you being here and watching and subscribing.
Amazing build. Glad I was able to see this in person at Wekfest SJ. Along with meeting Chris & chatting up with him. Hope to see this soon again!
Yea, the car is fantastic, but the person behind it is what makes it stand out the most. Thanks for watching and liking and supporting this channel!
Nice ! Love Chris’ Prelude
Yea, it's fantastic. Thanks for watching and liking and supporting this channel and it's content!
Great job Chris! Thanks for all the help with my Prelude as well. Many more great years of car fun to come.
I'll make sure to tell Chris to look for this comment.
Prelude Goals!!!
Definitely, but his vision and execution on any chassis would have created a wonderful build - don't you agree? 😀
@@BigMikeEdition yes absolutely! CHRIS has great taste!
Love it, an inspiration to the chassis.
He's a great guy and definitely an inspiration. I always say that a chassis is just a canvas, and focusing too much on the what the chassis is rather than what the work of art completed is actually takes away from a build.
@@BigMikeEdition thanks for sharing, and thank you for your contribution to the community.
@@IAutoEnthusiast You're welcome and thank you for the kind words and watching and liking this video, as well as sharing this channel with your fellow enthusiasts. Do you happen to listen to podcasts?
@@BigMikeEdition I do from time to time, is there one that you would recommend?
@@IAutoEnthusiast Yes, actually. The Think Bigger Podcast, hosted by Big Mike 🙂 You can find it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Pandora, iHeartRadio, as well as on ThinkBiggerProject.com - Episode 16 is called "I Did Not Build a Honda Prelude" - that may be one you'd find interesting to start with ;-)
Legendary collab!!
Thank you! And thank you for watching and supporting this channel and content! New episode drops this weekend!
His lude is nice!! Makes me a little jealous because mine is full of scratches/dents and fading paint
His is great, but with time and saving money and patience yours can be redone so there are no more scratches, fading paint, or dents.
Wowww i am amazed by your build. The prelude def is one of best well built honda made in the 90s. Ive owned an SH and i loved it but the h22 just wasnt reliable enough for me. I always said if i was to get a prelude again, it would be k swapped. All the parts on this prelude is top notch. Engine bay is super sickk. Just wish thy made it lighter and rwd/awd
I'll make sure to tell Chris about your compliment here on his build 🤜
Great content Big Mike! An amazing build Chris, love everything about it...just awesome all around. I was a DSM guy from the start(and still love them) but the 4th gen Fresco Blue was my first love once I entered the Honda club back in 2002. I still have it to this day and can't seem to let it go no matter how many times I said I was gonna sell it...as you can see it in my profile pic. Big Mike, love your first gen btw. Great job to you both👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you, Chris. It's awesome you still have yours. I dig DSM builds, as well. Thanks for joining the family here, as you can see I've dropped many episodes since this one and there are more on the way!
Wish I still had my EM1 SI- Your car is real clean!
The EM1 Si is a great car. When did you get rid of it and why?
It got stolen 2006- haven’t been in the scene since, but have the itch to start a K series motor build in the near future
Sick!!
Thank you
Thanks for the vid big Mike....from Canada
97 BB6 owner since 2000 and its still mine since I was 18. Mine pretty much looks the same with mugen parts except black minus the K swap...H22 is still the beating heart of my lude.
You're welcome and thank you for joining the family here and supporting the channel. Good luck with the continued evolution of your car, too!
Beautiful prelude
It sure is.
Sick af!
It really is beautiful. Thanks for watching, and check out the other builds on my channel, you'll appreciate them, as well.
that engine is so damn clean
Yes, it really is. Thanks for watching and supporting this channel and for the kind words on Chris' build!
Such a great build
It really is, but the person behind it is what makes it even better.
That was sick Big Mike!!
Thank you, Lawrence. I appreciate you watching and liking the video and supporting this channel!
The best 5 gen i ever see it, just perfect!!!!
It is quite beautiful, and Chris is a great guy
I still have my Prelude ‘98 Type Sh. ‘97 Integra GSR HKS exhaust and turbo, ‘06 Accord Coupe V6, and a ‘96 Accord Wagon. All have manual transmission. Yes I love Honda, the one I miss was my Yellow AP1 S2K it had a Paxston Supercharger JIC suspension TE37 rims my girlfriend at the time raced a Ferrari and wrapped it around a tree. She lived, I didn’t get another S2K unfortunately
Your car love runs deep. Welcome to the family here on my channel. I appreciate you watching and subscribing.
Such a nice build 👍🏻
It definitely is, but the owner and how he carries himself is what makes it all that much better.
@@BigMikeEdition oh yes, for sure! That is reflected in his build 👍🏻
@@MimmsHondaDay Definitely. You know how I am about nice, good people... LOL I want them to get more credit haha
Great video dude! Keep hustling
Thank you very much. There is SO much more content dropping, so stay with us! New episodes this weekend AND Monday!
Respect from Poland- LUDE LOVE
Thank you for watching and liking and supporting the channel. Welcome to the family here!
Engine bay is A1
It is a highlight of this build, that's for sure. Welcome to the channel!
Beautiful car.
It really is. And Chris is a great guy, too
Amazing well done car
He did a beautiful job, that’s for sure.
Love the prelude, don't know why its no more popular
The *Prelude is a great chassis, and it is popular to those who want one ;-)
Synchro's in my SH just started to go out and I considered K swapping myself. It is hard to justify the time and money required so I am slowly trying to bring it back to a nice stock plus vehicle. I just got another transmission and ATTS from eBay and plan to rebuild it with some carbon synchro's. If money were no object, I would convert it to a K swapped RWD BB6.
Good luck with your process
Is this what I think it is?! 😍
Well what do you think it is⁉
legendary built. 5th was my dream car in high school too. Wish I did more to it
Welcome to the family here on my channel. I appreciate you watching and supporting the content here.
Nice,would like to see it in person!! 🤩 , we should make a prelude meet some time in the future
Where are you located?
@@BigMikeEdition Houston
MK4 GOAT interviews MK5 GOAT
I appreciate the love. But I'm not the GOAT of a chassis, my friend. In fact, "I Did Not Build a Honda Prelude" - listen to Ep. 16 of the Think Bigger Podcast to understand 😎
Amazing color I could get lost in that blue
Yea, it is a lovely color and the paint job in this car is quite good.
Feel you❤
What do you feel me about, in particular?
Nice prelude. Perfect color
Is this your favorite of the OEM colors on this chassis?
😉 Niice 🥂✨✨✨✨
Funny cause every single car I've bought from Outta town have always been my Best cars.. I jus mess them up 😭😒
That's interesting
Amazing car
It definitely is, and the owner makes it that much better. Welcome to the family here on my YT channel.
Nice Prelude
I’m glad you like it, and thanks for watching. Check out the other Prelude build vlogs here on my channel, and welcome to the family!
Love the car but got damn this interview feels like he’s interrogating this guy
It's a conversation filled with questions that fans and enthusiasts have been asking about Chris and his build. An interrogation, no. A series of questions, yes. Chris and I have been friends for years now. Take the time to check out his IG, and thanks for watching. Much more content has dropped since this episode and there are a ton more on the way.
Beautiful car, and I love the K-series engines. But an H belongs in this.
For the sake of conversation, do you mind explaining what you mean? As in, are you stating your opinion as in that this chassis shouldn't be modified utilizing any other powerplant than an H series, or are you just stating the original spec/engine code that the chassis came with originally?
@@BigMikeEdition I just think once you deviate from the engine series that the car was designed and produced with you have a Franken car which is fine, thats common and as I said I like the car and the K series are great engines like most of what Honda has built. It just kind of blunts the value and novelty of it. I personally like the "purist" angle and keeping the H series in a Prelude thats all. Im a Prelude owner myself. I used to have a 07 TSX with the K24A2, I loved that car.
@@Ccastine9 What happened to your TSX?
What wing and skirts are on this prelude they look amazing
They are Mugen
@@BigMikeEdition they look great
This is my gool but awd
This is your goal? Meaning what, exactly? A turbocharged K-series that is AWD, or are you being much more specific?
Big Mike, I have a 4th Gen that needs mad love and I don't have the time right now. Know anyone who can work magic that could rival yours if the price is right? Okay, maybe if a fraction of the price when compared to your sema build.
Where are you located?
So Cal, just remembered you're out of Texas right?
@@LukeTeel No, Chris in this video is from Texas and I was over there. I'm based out of southern CA.
What's that circular mirror thing between the steering wheel and gauges?
question about front caliper was that the acura RL caliper ? trying to upgrade my breakes thanks. love the blue amazing car !!!!!!
Was that the RL caliper where?
@@BigMikeEdition hey it was on the prelude basically from Acura RL or LT using the bracket and different size rotors btw those are not oem prelude lol .
@@BigMikeEdition I’ll ask the owner thanks tho got him on Instagram
@@rostislavmikula3432 Oh, you were asking about Chris' brakes? LOL For some reason when I read it I took it as a general question, not a specific one about this exact car because these brakes are Brembo GT front brakes.
@@BigMikeEdition cool thanks for info appreciate your time sir love to watch your videos!
You earned this sub!
I appreciate you! Thank you for joining the family here!
Sorry to be a pain Big Mike but can I ask what hood struts Chris used to allow the hood to stay up without using the stock hood set up? Thank you.
Hey there again. Once again, I'm so glad you found this video and got to learn about Chris and his build. I don't recall which hood struts he used specifically, but there are a few companies that make them for the Prelude. So what state did you find your Prelude in? And once again, thank you for watching, liking this video, and subscribing to support this channel!
There is nothing like Buccee's anyhwere
I found that out in person and I completely agree LOL
I use to stop at the Waller Buc-ee's almost every weekend when I made the trip from Austin to Houston. King of gas stations and it beats most of the big truck stops also.
@@ericl5973 Definitely beats them all out!

I appreciate you, Gio. Welcome to the family here!
What kind of recaros are those? They look pretty good
We say what they are in the episode 😁
Makes me miss my 99'
What happened to it
@@BigMikeEdition California Crushed It
@@MrRourk What were the circumstances that led up to that?
I haven’t seen Chris in years
And here he is! Welcome to the family here.
@@BigMikeEdition be in the look out for my lude
I have one it's a 1998 Prelude Automatic. I'm trying to fix it, it stopped on me 6 month ago.
So what are you trying to fix?
@@BigMikeEdition
It's not starting at all. The engine turns but it's not turning on.
Considering a Lude too, but can't find anywhere if they fit two child seats in the back? We aren't tall people, 5ft11. I know this isn't a car for practical use, but we already have a practical car, i want something sporty looking, a Honda for sure, wich can carry two little kids in the back when we go cruising.
I know people who have put car seats in the back
@@BigMikeEdition thank you 🙏🏻
@@Jesko_VRS You're welcome!
As a 5th gen owner, I would say get an Accord. These cars are really small and with you being 5 ft 11 you’ll have to slide that seat back and won’t be much room back there
@@AirForceKrissy thank you 🙏🏻
I wanted to see the walk around on the car
Awesome
Спасибо Вам за это видео!!
I don't know what that says but welcome to my channel and the family here!
@@BigMikeEdition I said thank you for this video!!
@@YoubeTou You're welcome and thank you!
Bro thet 5thGen sik 👌
The build as a build is quite solid and well-rounded, I agree.
I think he lives at the same apartment complex that I did
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😇😉🍻🍺
Thank you for watching and liking and supporting the channel!
looks great, but he gave her no juice at the end
His driving style is exactly like his personality: calm, mature, chilling.
What about the engine mounts can i get a set can't find anywhere!?
Are you talking specifically about mounts for a K-series into a 5th gen Prelude? HASPORT makes them. Contact them and ask for Brian and tell him Big Mike sent you. 👍
@@BigMikeEdition that is exactly what im looking for
@@BigMikeEdition They said no ugh
