This model in USA???
hi, i live in france and my first car is a cb7. This car is very rare in europe but in fact the only model i've seen with this 4ws... is mine! the engine is f22a3 and it's a manual gearbox. i just wanted to know if this type exists in USA? in france there are many prelude 4ws but no accord. the video is poor but u can see the wheels turning

it's a bit too soft to me. but i plan to work upon it with strut and sway bars plus a good suspension kit but parts are very hard to find in france.... in fact the car turns "upon itself" so it's often very weird for the passengers. when you drive fast on highway it seems to move sideways! i've tested the grip on little roads in the alps and it's awesome even oem... seems to slide but doesn't ! i have to precise i already drove the same model in 2ws and i really felt the differenceComment

I wonder can a usdm version can be converted to 4ws with parts from a prelude or a malaysian model ? is it possable?

ooooo...now I'm curious too!Originally posted by wagonkid View PostI wonder can a usdm version can be converted to 4ws with parts from a prelude or a malaysian model ? is it possable?
the pic won't load for me...be awesome to have an underbelly shot of the car
I've heard good and bad about 4ws but mostly due to how it was done. For instance, I've heard that on the newer skylines the system was built pretty well and responded well...but some folks didn't like the older design...I guess it just didn't work well or something.
I'd like to hear more pro/con from some folks who have driven different 4ws...but good luck there__

I believe that you'll have to some significant modification to the transmission tunnel, if I'm not mistaken...it's not just swapping the rear end.Originally posted by 4GAccordH22 View Post
I've seen pictures of the back seats of the 4ws model, and I believe there's a much more significant hump in the middle of the rear seats.Comment

yes there is a tunnel like 4wd cars, rear suspension is not the same and i did not manage to find shocks that fits. nobody but honda does it! ill try to take a pic soon so as u can see how it's made.

works very well at high speed too. in fact it gives you a little impulsion to get the car in the curve. if you make more than two or three turns with ur steering wheel, the wheels turn at the inverse than the front but if you turn less, it turns like the front wheels (at high speed)... sorry for my english...
