Question About AWS - Honda Prelude Forum

VTECn2o · 06-02-2003, 06:15 AM

I just got my 93 lude, just a quick question. Does anyone know if all 93's cames stock with All-Wheel-Steering?

bk94si · 06-02-2003, 07:23 AM

No, they didn't. At least here they didn't.

luder94si · 06-02-2003, 07:23 AM

Nope, not all. There were 4 models in 93 in the USA: S (135 HP), Si (160HP), Si-4WS (160 HP), & the Si-VTEC (190 HP). Only the Si-4WS had the four wheel steering. In the European & Asia markets, you could get a VTEC with 4WS.

How would I know if my 1992 Si is AWS?

start your car, turn the steering wheel hard, and have someone see if your rear wheels turn. There should also be a sticker in your driver side door jam that says Si-4ws, at least mine does.

4WS or AWS cars came in either Red or Azure. If your car isnt that color, you don't have it. You will also be able to easily see the 4WS box when you open the trunk. It is located behind the driver's side back seat.

VTECn2o is in Japan... where you could get 4WS on Si or Vtec models, and in any year, 3rd, 4th, or 5th gen... bastards.

There is also a light on the dash which iluminates when you start the car "4WS", it's amber in color.

Also the VIN number will be

JHMBB216xxx.....
or
JHMBB226xxx....

depending on whether its auto or manual

216 = manual Si 4WS
226 = auto Si 4WS

The 6 in the 8th position means 4WS

Oh yeah, In 92 and 93 the 4WS colors were:
Brittany Blue-Green Metallic
Fresco Blue Pearl
Frost White
Granada Black Pearl
Milano Red
Sebring Silver Metallic

in 94 (last year for USDM 4WS) the 4WS was available in:
Fresco Blue Pearl
Frost White
Granada Black Pearl
Pacific Blue Pearl
Sebring Silver Metallic
