How fast you guys corner? - Honda Prelude Forum

Shukuchi_SH · 02-15-2002, 09:06 PM

Just wondering how fast on average each and everyone of you, base or sh, corner on 90 degree angles?

Please indicate if your lude is a base, sh, or ss.

1. SH @ 35

sorry, I don't have a lude, but is that speed with tire screech or what? Is it the maximum speed? and are you giving it gas around the corner with the SH? Thanks

Shukuchi_SH · 02-15-2002, 09:27 PM

The car usually slides a little when I gas while cornering. When I don't, it doesn't.

What kind of 90 degree turn. A sharp right corner turn staying tyte in the inside lane or just staying on the right side of the road. I've done turns going low 40ish with some screeching. Don't know for sure imma go out and take some turns.

90 degre is a right angle turn. Right side of road taking a right or left side of road and taking a left.

Remember to buckle up and becareful on those turns. They are pretty dangerous. Lost control couple of times. Have Fun though!

i tried like a 80 degree turn (yes, sharper than a 90)........at like 50 mph and sad to say i slid into the oncoming traffic lane ( it was 12 AM though, no one on the street)

i really need better suspension, struts/sways, and tires

Shukuchi_SH · 02-15-2002, 10:32 PM

ice1cube,
do you have an SH or base?

I almost hit some parked cars.

Gotta be more careful

ice1cube · 02-15-2002, 11:18 PM

base =D........tires have like 65% tread left tsk tsk

50mph on a 90-degree turn (when my car was still stock), no screeching...then again, the stock tires were fairly new back then.

soloLude · 02-16-2002, 01:46 AM

i take turns at about 40mph...90 degree right turns. base SS lude lowered on eibach prokits w/ stock tires...60% thread im guessing

40-45 on regular roads..... 60 mph... on my hill "punta del este" in hacienda heights.. been drivig my lude for more than 5000 times up that hill, mastered it

PilotSH · 02-16-2002, 03:40 AM

don't know about 90 degree turns, too busy looking into the corner to read the speedo! When staying on a road or going into an on/off ramp, I take the speed limit and double it ( if on/off ramp says 25, then I go 50 (dry conditions of course!), or if the road says 45mph, then I try drive it at up to 90 mph and try not to exceed it ).

Lewd Lude · 02-16-2002, 07:23 PM

there is hairpin on a hillside round here that i take at about 65.....as for 90 degree corners, i cant recall....but faster than my friends porsche boxster

Prelude1897 · 02-16-2002, 11:26 PM

I take mine about 80-100mph or just until the car get up on two wheels

moneypit · 02-17-2002, 01:47 AM

I've taken them at 50-55 when the tires basically become liquid and I slide for a bit and regain control, ( I gues drifting). It's fun to scare friends who are along for the ride. 97 sh

kenchan · 02-17-2002, 06:25 AM

nothing more fun than yanking the side brake in the middle of a turn on a rainy day.

drift time!!! tought i was in a FR.
