I'd stay away from the Preludes of that vintage if you plan on any hard use (track, autox) for it...
There were very very few VTEC models sold in 94-96 - and engine rebuilds are expensive if you ever need one (let alone finding a machine shop to touch a FRM block.... ) and gearboxes are near impossible to find if you ever explode one.
A 97-98 prelude can be had for around $10K (maybe less, been a while since i looked) which would be a better choice.
