[Type_SH RaCer]

If you look in the second pic you see a rear differential. Wow :eek i didnt know 5th gens came with 4ws. SO now that just begs the question with all things being even which ones better the 4ws or the atts. hey fastfu have you driven em both back to back or know someone who has.

Can you crical the differential? sitll don't know what it is! :confused

Is this a BB8 or a BB9? VIT-R?

preludes naturally understeer.....from the factory. They don't oversteer. In order to get a lude to oversteer...you need to change shock settings, tire pressures, or sway bars.

I don't believe people getting oversteer on a stock base prelude if they don't have any of the above.

OK have any of you driven a 3rd gen 4ws Si? if not then you dont know what your missing! :wow

 

[fastfu]

all of our ludes in the uk come with 4ws so i can't really compare

Have you driven an Sh?

Let's start a fund so that we can get an airline ticket for fastfu so he can come to the US and drive a SH for comparison :clap

 

[fastfu]

im up for that

 

[cndctrdj]

you make good points...

the reason RWD oversteers is that when power is sent through the rear wheels in a turn it demands too much traction and they slip

mustangs/camaros are muscle cars not set up for good handling and are too heavy to draw good comparisons to much lighter imports

fwd in corners tends to straighten out when power is applied, which is why rwd comes out of corners faster

no matter what, with fwd, you still have the problem of torque steer and a massive front weight bias

i beg to differ on the whole mustangs and camaros arent made for good handling.....

anyone have a motor trend magazine or something the equivelant that has its lateral g ratings compared to a lude
id like to see the difference

Cool! I was sure 5th gens in the UK had 4ws... So do they have the option of ATTS over there and can someone compare the two without having to cross the pond? Is it possible to have both 4ws and ATTS to make a super doooper handling lude thats even more overweight :hehe

 

[fastfu]

no we never got ATTS over here but there are a few people with imported type s ludes

mine oversteers but like i said before its got suspension work done to it

oh yea you right :byye
but i never driven a 4th gen with those electric driven 4ws
ours is mechanical so no speed restriction :rolleyes

I had an 88 si 4ws back just after I graduated high school. It was a pretty fun car but I don't know what you guys mean when you say if you haven't driven one you don't know what you're missing. Well I know what you're missing and it's about 75 hp, that car lacks. It handles awesome yes everyone knows but not that awesome. If you haven't drove a 4th or 5th gen whether it be a 4ws or a atts equiped sh you have no idea at all how much better of a car they are. A sh or a base with lsd will run circles around the 3rd gens, the technology is way different!

yes you're right it is a age thing
mine lude has no vtec or atts it has only 150 hp because it is a euro spec(b20a7)
you are lucky but 3rd gen got the looks

bob u said "Either way, the lude handles really well, and I do get a little oversteer sometimes."

Sorry, I should have been a little more specific. When my car was stock it probably understeered some, I never pushed it to that limit when it was stock so I can only assume that's the case.

I started getting oversteer when I changed the suspension.....I've got H&R sports, KYB AGX shocks (usually set as stiff as they go), Suspension techniques sway bars front and rear, and 17s with yokohama ES100s.

I really like that set up and won't be changing it for a while, but modifying the suspension is was got me oversteer, not the fact that it's an SH.

Sorry for the confusion.
