I miss my integra for the same reasons. I imagine the prelude drives very similarly, a little bit more powerful, but a little heavier. Not the fastest or the best handling cars by any means, but they sure are a hoot to drive around. EXTREMELY controllable too, they are very hard to get away from you. I went from the integra to an AWD audi, also very controllable, to a lexus IS300, which can easily get away from you with traction control off.

Mine became very problematic at around 145k though, no doubt due to years of being an abused college car. I kept it immaculate looking, but it definately was "drove hard and put away wet". I put a suspension kit on it, and with that on it the car handled on rails. Still, being a fwd car it had too much understeer for my tastes. I miss the feeling that my driving skills surpassed the ability of the car, as i definately think my IS's capabilities surpass mine as a driver.

Good luck with it, they really are great little cars!
