Here´s my Accord with 4wheel sterring

 

interesting. so is that the norm in your country?

 

norway!! damn i feel the cold aready..
what kinda of motor is on the accord?

 

Not so cold today. +5 Celsius.

It is a F22A3 150Hp.
Stock.

Nope it´s not normal with 4ws Accords, it is 3 cars in whole Norway.

 

did you adapt something from a 4ws Prelude suspension?

Very interesting!

 

The car is 100% stock. It is delivered from Honda with 4ws.
There is some modifiction on the interior too.

Yeah, I remember seeing this model was made for Europe. You're a lucky bastard.

 

it also appears to have sidemarkers...


very nice

 

I'm jealous.

 

Ay..Raz..... Can you get any type of UKDM parts and ship them over to the States??
I'm considering getting the rear headrests. Let me know

Very rare indeed.

 

I don't think it's that rare. Only in this country is it rare to my belief.

Do you have the digital climate control system too? I kinda want to get that... my **** broke... and it would be a good excuse to get a front clip...

Near the E-brake, there is a bunch of knockouts for optional buttons and stuff... do you have any buttons there?
what about between the two front vents? There's a knockout there... been wondering what that was for... maybe a temp sensor for the climate control on the japanese models?

 

I don't see why he is so lucky.
4ws isn't that safe.
There is a reason why Honda stopped doing it.
It's nothing more than a novelty. IMO

 

D114, for the extra buttons around the hand brake: some models in North Europe have seat heaters, headlight washers and headlight adjustment. See a pic of my car interior: http://www.saunalahti.fi/~forumf1/cg...seatheater.jpg and http://www.saunalahti.fi/~forumf1/cg...pril2002_9.jpg (note the rear fog light switch too)

My 1990 Accord has a carburetor engine: if you don't believe it, see this pic: http://www.saunalahti.fi/~forumf1/ku...ottori_592.jpg
I'm planning to get a 2.2 EXi but they're hard to find here.

 

that's all i need in my life. is HEATED SEATS" in my accord!

 

Whats different about the rear headrest pictures maybe?
What is this digital climate control you speak of?
And omg heated seats would be awesome for my cold *** in the mornings

 

Do you know what you're talking about? 4ws is safer, because it has the characteristic of being able to make sharper turns. Many car builders would love to add this system to their cars, but the reason why it is not spread is because it's so complicated and costly.

GM has experimented on their pickups a similar system enabling to steer two different ways depending if you're slightly steering or steering sharply.

1. If you're steering slightly (ex: passing on the freeway) wheels will position this way:
\ \


\ \

2. If you're steering sharply (ex: parking at 90°) wheels will position this way:
/ /


\ \

It is one of the safest steering system. It will help greatly in maneuvers, its technology is just too costly, this is one reason why it's not spread.

Note that some european rally challenges have cars equipped with this system.

 

RAS, do you have the dark interior and seats with red stripes? I know some European 2.2 EXIs have them. Does the rear seats have a different shape? Do you have any close up interior pics?

 

I can take some pix tomorrow.
90-91 modells have black seats with red stipes. But 92-93 modells have dark gray (almost black) seats with red/blue/purple strips.
I don´t think the backseat have different shape than US models.
It is a 2,2 SI not 2,2 EXI only 2,0 EXI in europe.

 

Is the 4ws on the accord the same as the 4ws Prelude in the US?

 

So how many are there out there???? tight~!

 

pretty certain we had these delivered to Australia as well.

IMO 4ws isnt as safe unless the driver understands hows the steering works. It is the reason that the prelude is one of the most crashed cars around (at least in this country). WHile driving a gen3 lude they have a tendency to oversteer much more than other FWD's...oversteer to your average driver is considered less safe.

 

How do you know if a 1990 Accord is 4ws or not?
