Differences between the 'base' and the 'SH'
SH comes with: Rear spoiler with brake light, no brake light in rear window,
body coloured side-skirts and rear skirt, ATTS, straight 5 spoke 16 inch wheels
as opposed to the "chinese star" 5 spoke wheels of the same size. Courtesy lights on the door
interior, oil filter is in a slightly different place and struts/springs.

One good explanation of the ATTS from internetautoguide.com
"Honda calls it the Active Torque Transfer System (ATTS), and it seems likely to take front-drive performance cars another step closer to parity with their rear-drive competitors in terms of absolute handling. ATTS distinguishes the standard Prelude from the SH model.
Here's how it works. When a front-drive car hustles around a corner, its front tires have to perform an extra function--power transfer--that the front tires on a rear-driver don't. That's why even very good-handling front-drive cars like the Prelude are more prone to understeer than their rear-drive counterparts.
Understeer describes a car's resistance to turn-in. The faster the entry speed to a given corner, the more the car wants to go straight ahead.
ATTS addresses this trait through a clever set of mechanical functions that automatically transfers available engine torque--as much as 80%--to the outside front wheel, and also increases its rotational speed by as much as 15%.
Putting the extra power into the outside front wheel, which typically bears the heaviest load in hard cornering, compensates for the extra load and restores balance.
It's a typical Honda solution to a problem no one else has really managed to solve--and it works."

So the SH model is the only one with the ATTS feature? Ive been told the ATTS has been very problematic and overly expensive to fix. So mine wouldnt have this? Just curious.

Yes the Sh is the only model that came with the ATTS, and really isnt a problem unless you start puting down a good amount of hp really. YES its pretty darn expensive, I think the ATTS system is somehting like $2,500 not exactly sure though.

Im not sure if your s has it or not, do you have the Sh model or base?

no mine is a base.... just havent changed my sig yet.
