This is so cool....I wish we could convert our CB7s to do this

4 Wheel Steering! what are the benefits of it? and the drawbacks?

wasn't the Prelude SH basically the same idea? one of my friends told me the "SH" stood for superior handling.

until watching that video i never knew what four wheel steering meant. seeing that rear wheel turn also is kinda cool.

Not quite....the earlier Preludes had 4 wheel steering where the rear wheels would pivot a few degrees to give a more assured handling response.

The SH is actually an even more bad ass system that provides more torque to the outside wheel(s) on a turn. Very effective!

so...its an LSD?

CBs came with AWS in other countries. We have a number of members with 4ws cars here, mostly from Australia.




Later model Preludes had 4ws too. Not just the 3rd gen. That video is really cool. I've never seen it in action before!

I've never seen it in action. That's pretty damn cool. First I just thought it just turned like 1/2 an inch or something.

Very cool

Tighter turning circles FTW!

Yes, the rears turn in the same direction with small input angles, but turn the opposite when the angles gets larger. I think I said it out right.

Where is Dien anyways?

[slick]

that was indeed amazing

lol that prelude belonged to a member of acura-legend.com, I know as soon as I saw the youtube link who's it was.

here are some more pics of it, sadly he sold it

5th gen ludes had 4ws too... edm ones. we always get the rip

Yes, in function, it was VERY similar to an LSD. However, the SH system had the ability to do something an LSD can't do. Multiply the torque going to that outside wheel. An LSD can't multiply it, it can only divert it. SH was basically the precursor to what Honda is now putting on the BACK end of SH-AWD cars, where the system can not only send power to the most beneficial wheel, but it can also speed up the tire, thus creating a yawing moment, which would be felt as a tighter line in the car. It really is an amazing system, and I am interested to see the results of the new RL vs the old, now that Honda is programming it more aggressively. In the 2005-2008 RL, the system didn't work as much in 1st gear, so you couldn't get the full benefit in low speed corners, where you are liable to need it the most. With a more aggressive setup, I wouldn't be surprised to see an RL that could oversteer through turns, but of course, that isn't the mission of the car, even though it probably is possible.

the prelude SH ATTS system has goods and bads....the ablity to transfer torque to a wheel when needed for better traction/cornering. the prelude atts systems disable if or when a car has too much power hence why Prelude type SH owners tend to do base tranny conversion with LSD.

im happy i didnt get the prelude with atts......one less problem to deal with and more possiblities for me and tranny options.

I've never seen how this 4ws worked before either, looks cool. i would think that doing an alignment on a car like this would be a bitch to do.

[Pandemic]

older galants do the same thing - only they're 4wd/4ws :P
