i have a 96 si and no 4ws. did they stop making the 4ws on the Si's because they found something better or was it just expensive to keep on the car or is 4ws something you have to order???
Actually, it was like a $2k option on the Si, for about the same price you could just buy the VTEC model instead. They still offer it in europe and japan on the 5th gens.
It is very noticable, I can turn around in a driveway, and it handles alot better on canyon roads. If I was buying another lude, I would look for another 4ws and swap in a VTEC engine... wait a minute, I already did that.
I love it! My friend has a 94 civic with fully adjustable coilovers, strut bars, sway bars, etc, etc and my car outhandles his no problem, and my lude is bone stock

Good summary. I own the canyons (PCH, Las Virgines, Mullholand - for your socal luders). Its great. Daily driving isnt that big of a deal (i.e. lane changes, parking is alittle beneficial, but not significantly). On turns it makes its diference and let me tell you - I have pulled full traction 35 MPH 2 lane Uturns.
It also provides a great intimidation factor - for people who have never seen it, seeing the rear wheels simply has them saying 'wow! how did you do that, thats the coolest thing i have ever seen.'

No Sir.
Turning circle:
with 4WS = 31.8ft
without = 35.9ft
Originally posted by VTEC1994 Now is that the cost of the engine only or is that with all the little nuts and bolts and other stuff like ecu and things?
I would say for the package. Just the engine would probably be the lower part of that range. Like I said though, its just a guestimate.

Its cheaper than I thought. Check out http://www.jdmclub.com/pricing.html. '92-95 Prelude H22A
2200cc (2.2L) DOHC Vtec 5 speed tranny $2300 US (without tranny, minus $600).' Dont forget 'Please add $300 for LSD, in limited quanities' - you might as well. So $2600 + shipping for LSD h22a with tranny and everything. Or keep your h23 tranny and go turbo!
