88- 91 = 3rd gen 92-96 = 4th gen 97-01 = 5th gen

maybe 3rd gens were 87? shrug.

uhm... what other info would you need if your buying it for astetic reasons? the h22 is a good motor... they came in all 5th gen preludes. h22a4 actually... its 195hp 151lbs/ft torque stock.

the 4th gens came in 4 trims... S, Si, Si 4ws, and Si Vtec.

s = lowest trim, steelie rims/tires, f22a motor (137 or 140hp and 137lbs/ft i think.. its the accord motor)

si = h23 motor, 160 hp and 146lbs/ft or something like that.

si 4ws = same as above but with 4 wheel steering.. the rear wheels actually turn up to 9 degrees.. hard to find those.

si vtec = h22a vtec motor 190hp and 151 lbs/ft

they only made the vtecs from 93+ the 92-93 preludes dont have cup holders and the parking break isnt in as good a position as the 94+. and 94-96 have electroluminescent guages.

#'s might be off a tad cuse its from memory.
