what's the front rear balance of a 93' lude? Decent traction? as you can see, i'm new to the boards here, this is my first thread and post

 

93 is 4th gen i believe

 

I have a 3rd gen which is 88-91 It handles really wheel, However from a dead stop or going around turns one wheel will usually squeel.. could use a limited slip

can you elaborate a little more on this squeeling pls?

anyhoo, i had a 3rd gen prelude Si and i think it's a great handler. well balanced overall.

but he's talking about 4th gens anyway...

 

Good question I'd also like to know the weight ratio on my 5th gen.

 

weight distribution on a 93 Si is around 63/37 (give or take a decimal point, can't rember exactly and i'm too lazy to do a search).
traction? well, that depends on other factors as well. suspension, tires, power/weight ratio, etc.

 

ek my bad, 4th gen. Hmm front heavy, is it a rwd? do you get alot of wheel spin off the launch?

heh... the other way around boss. its heavy in the front because it's a front engine and front wheel drive.

well, it depends on how you launch and what kind of power you're packing. bone stock is ok as far as traction. its a little harder to launch than say integras, but one you get it figured out you'll be ok. the more power you add tho, the more your traction will suffer. but then you can upgrade your suspension and get some nice grippy tires and fix that.
traction will never be as good as in a RWD or AWD car when you're boosting or spraying (if you plan on doing that), but overall it is not bad at all. i like it actually.
it is very comfortable, easy to drive around town, decent tq for hills and stuff, excellent handling especially if you're wearing some nice rubber (no, not that rubber you perv ), and what i like the most; the cockpit!
yes, you heard me right. the cockpit. 4th gen prelude's interior is, repeat after me; THE **** !!! hands down one of the most beautiful, elegant, yet sporty interiors ever made by honda. i owned other cars, and driven many others, but feeling i get when i drive my lude is unique. it just feels.... SWEEEEEEET.
if you have never driven the 4th gee lude, you're missing out man....
and if it's lowered... aaaaaah. i have to go take drive now....
damn it... i knew this was gonna happen. every time i get stoned and start talking about Preludes i get this urge to go drive it right away.
but, i know i'm gonna enjoy it so it's all gooooood.
