Hello, everyone.
1) I am from the dominican Republic and English is my second language.
2) My father brought from japon a 5th gen Honda prelude "BB8 - '96 - '00 Prelude SiR (4WS) = 2.2l DOHC VTEC = H22A"..., know we have the car here in DR(Dominican Republic) but we need to chance the steering wheel from the right to left... OK if the Prelude was not a 4ws, it can be change in less than 10 days
but we do not want to remove the 4ws system... My father is going to NY in 2-3 weeks with the steering rack of the car and he is going to look for a American steering rack for the car.
Here is my question, In USA there are Honda prelude 4WS?
If he go to USA with the Steering Rack of the car, can he find the same Steering rack but the American version>?
He lives in the Dominican Republic, and they have a strict law against RHD cars since a few years ago they had a couple of accidents which were blamed on the cars involved being RHD. Nonsense, but that's what drove the legislation.
Why dont you just get your dad to find you a lude from the US? Wouldn't it be just as easy/hard as getting an entire cars suspension/steering gear from europe bto the DR(and all the interior stuff too)? TYhat just seems so much work.

That's true, but remember that the cars from japon are really cheap, want to know how much he paid for the car,1300 Dollar + shipping 666dollar + taxes 3000 dollar= 4966 dollar. And why he is thinking of going to NY? Because he is involved in the importing cars bussines from japon to DR. he is going back and is going to stop in NY for 3 days.

Because he love the 4ws system.

Right now the car is on the peurano( people from peru that chance the steering wheel from the right to left.) and they are going to tell him what he need to buy but, If it's so expensive he is going to chance the steering wheel and lose the 4ws.
is there any way to get 4ws on a US 5th gen. that would be awesome. surely one could import euro. parts and they be compatible. tell me if i'm wrong, this is just wishful thinking.
im pretty sure it can be done but you need the front and rear rack the 4ws cumputer abs computer and the steering colum.... you need a 4gen to take everyting... i put the front spindle the rear knuckle an upper table of a 5 gen on my 4 gen 4ws bolt on
Dude, the canadan models had fifth gen 4ws dude. just by a 4ws prelude from canda. yeah you can thank me later. tell your dad to get me a fifth gen 4ws prelude too. tell him I'll give him my 01 prelude sh for it lol, but it better be a sh model too.
hey, marco, I'm just curious, but why did taxes cost more than car and shipping? that is amazing....
Would it be possible to import one to the US? Would it cost just as much? Thank you
1300 Dollar + shipping 666dollar + taxes 3000 dollar= 4966 dollar.
The cars from japon are really cheap, if they are from 2002 or older. you will need to search for the shipping cost, . And the tax system is really rare because they charge you the 20 to 40% of the original price of the car.

Today we going to move the prelude to a different peurano( people from peru that chance the steering wheel from the right to left.), A friend of mine tell me that the are the besttttt, and got the chance to talk with boss. The guy was on the floor reading the
news, and i explaining him my problem... And he did not surpise,with a really speaceful voice said the magic works,: "YES WE CAN DO IT"!!!
That sucks
