ok i hoe i dont get flamed for this but back in the day i remember seein a prelude that had rear wheels that turned with the front wheel for example the front wheel turns left rear wheels turn left. ok so i was wondering if this is evern remotely possiable or worth doing with an accord?
its called 4 wheel steering, and its possible, just might take some money and time, and...oh yeah, money...
and u mean when the front wheels turn left, the rear wheels turn right
oyea that right lol :banghead: ok so nnow this is the question is it even worth it ? like i hard you can park faster but lets say im looking at 3 gran worth of work? im not going to pay three gran for a advance parking sys:)
I read somewhere that in 1988 The 4WS Lude had an equal Nurburgring lap time as a ferrari.. It wouls substantially increase the handling of the car.
dam @ the ferrari post...it would greatly improve steering/handling, but then again if its gonna be $3,000, u still have to add the suspension work like struts, springs and what-not...it's all up to u...
Its not just gonna make you park faster. LAWL. It improves the handling of the car by positioning the rear wheels to angle into the turn instead of having them trail
you would need the front steering rack along with the a shaft that connects to the rear rack and on top of that you would need the complete rear suspension.
plus youll probably have the work the floorpan of the car to fit all these components
possible yes but you can buy a prelude for less money and turbo the b20 that comes with it.
well it's more than this. I have a 88 lude. The rear part are TOTALLY different from an Accord.Quote:

welll if you dump alot of money into suspension it would outhandle the lude...so far i have dumped close to 900 bucks....also tires and rims make the car handle since its the only parts touching the ground.
ight so with all this stated what wouls you guys advice me to do save my money and get a lud or do that suspension? and this is what is stoping me i dont live in a city that is bigg i live in the boomdocks with yes ghetto folks i dont live in nyc any more so what im getting at is that therer isnt a suspension shop out here and i dont know the first thing to do with suspension hell to do wuth cars so what should i do ? or better yet what would you do in my situation?
first look at the car....is it worth it to dump alot of money.....if its a rust bucket maybe not. also you can get suspension parts online and it could be changed if you have a parts store that have a lend a tool program...like spring compressor...ball joint seperator. most of the stuff is on ebay. you should start reading the stickys on top of the suspension section.Quote:

if you are worried about where to buy....online is usually the best bet which you have access to so you are good to go.
ok couldnt i just cut my chassis and integrate the rear part of the lude to it? like i have seen this done before then all i would have to do is extend all the lude stuff and i think i should be good right? correct me if im wrong the prelude is wider then the accord right? so i would have to cut and weld the lude chassis to be more narrow?
woah...... soooooooooo much work for sweet nothing........
if you want an accord with 4ws, just source a jdm 4g that has it. they look reasonably close to our cars and it'd probably be much safer being from the factory than having you do it yourself. not to mention the time and pain you saved yourself.
ok so for me to do this would i have to import the car? or find one? where can i find scematics how ever you spell it on how to do this?
well people there is a how to at prelude power.com on this. you should read it and observe b/c its not too hard. it can be done and would be tha shiza.
