OK guys not sure if your gonna be able to help me but here goes.....

MY95 Prelude doing around 120mph and you get a knocking sound (like stones hitting) from the front end of the car. It will be there till you drop below 100mph any ideas???
There must be a couple of prelude owners on here somewhere!!!

Cheers

Is it related to engine load or does it happen if you dip the clutch at say 120 mph?

have a look around the underneath of the engine, does it have a plastic under tray? On an old car of mine one of the bolts holding the undertray on came loose, started flapping at certain speeds, sounded like there was a spanner rattling around in the engine bay.

Check all things that could come loose and may resonate at high wind speed.
