Honda Prelude Si VTEC with Sparco Demon Seats
In 1992, the fourth generation Prelude was released, after being released in Japan in 1991. The car had a 58% front and 42% rear weight distribution. The four wheel steering system was changed to an electronic version and the engine was increased in capacity from 2.1 liters to 2.2 liters for the base model "S" (SOHC F22A1 engine, 135 hp at 5200 rpm, 142 lb•ft at 4000 rpm) and "VTEC" model (DOHC VTEC H22a1, 190 hp at 6800 rpm, 160 lb•ft at 5500 rpm), with a less performance-oriented 2.3-litre for the "Si" (DOHC H23A1, 160 hp at 5800 rpm, 156 lb•ft at 5300 rpm). The Japanese SI came with the F22B (2.2L DOHC NON-VTEC 160 hp). The VTEC Model had an upgraded brake system, going from a 10.3" front rotor to an 11.1" front rotor and utilizing larger brake caliper and pads, similar to those found in the Acura Vigor
Additionally, a 2.0i model was released in the United Kingdom, rated at 133 hp. 1993 was the last year that the "Si-VTEC" name was used, and beginning in 1994 it was shortened to just "VTEC" and stayed that way throughout the rest of the generation. In some countries, the Prelude with 2.2 VTEC engine was called the VTi-R. In Canada, the Si was called the SR, and the VTEC was called the SR-V.
If you are truly looking to style up your Prelude, then good custom seats, such as the Demon Seat are a logical upgrade. There are many aftermarket companies out there that produce quality bucket racing seats for either road or track use. Prices can vary from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars for top of the line seats depending on your taste and the size of your bankroll.
Beside the bling effect of having some sweet looking Demon racing seats in your vehicle there are some performance benefits. Because Demon racings seats are made out of lighter materials than your factory seats they reduce the overall weight of your vehicle which is always a positive for tuning.
Demon Racing Seats are universal for all vehicles; however, all Demon seats will need to latch to seats rail, which is car specific. Make sure there is a rail available for your vehicle, or otherwise you can customize your stock one to fit your aftermarket seats.
Sparco Seats, the maker of the popular Demon seats is one of the heavy hitters in the aftermarket seats industry. Many others try to match the quality of craftsmanship of the Demon seats but few succeed.
The Demon seat has a tubular KBA approved frame and upholstery in soft leather with two color styling. The Demon seat was constructed in a partnership with BMW and Sparco supplies these seats in the accessories section for the "John Cooper Works" Mini Cooper, though you can order these seats to fit most makes and models. Demon Seats are designed to be ergonomic. They provide a highly supported seat, featuring a tilt forward lever, molded high-density foam padding, micrometric precision backrest adjustment and adjustable lumbar support. Demon seats have been tested and approved to ECE 17 (Europe) and FMVSS 208 (USA) standards.
The support that Demon seats offer through the bends is truly amazing. Never again will you be in your passenger's seat when taking a long sweeping bend at speed. Even if your not heavily involved in the 'going fast' scene Demon seats provide the sort of comfort associated with a luxury car. No more back pains after the long journey to and from work.
