4WS Prelude

[2002maniac]

One of my buddies in high school has a Prelude 2.0si with the 4ws. I never did notice it being a good nor a bad thing. It was a hell of alot faster than my 2002 though.

not a fan---

but I will refrain from spewing vile cures about this car that so many are fond of.

I wouldn't mind driving one for the hell of it...

IIRC the 8 series featured 4 wheel steering. They toyed with up to 15 deg. in the rear but settled on a fraction of a degree only.

4WS was seemingly on every Japanease performance car from the late 80's and early 90's...

A few off the top of my head:

Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4
Nissan 240sx
some Mazda RX-7s
Toyota Celica
etc..


From what I know, and this is coming from 240sx owners, is that it is undesirable. Alot of those guys disable the system. It could be that it is just hampered by early 90's technology though.

My dad had a 91 Mazda 626 and it mentioned 4WS in the manual as an option. His did not have that particular option (nor many others).
