Most likely I will just go back to build up my F22b1 like I planned.

unfortunatly, thats what I was thinking.

Because the 4ws Lude only came with an F22 which isn't bad but you know what generally hapens to F22s....swap time.

Its ok I was surprised to find that out too. I figured at least an H23 My friend looked into the possibility of a swap but t wasn't looking too promising from her research. She was getting a lot of feedback that was making it sound like a royal b|tch for some reason.

She is still going to try it after she is done with her mechanics schooling.

it's a good idea, which would benefit in many ways, but keep this in mind: one of the reasons why the 4ws prelude was discontinued was because it had problems on the freeway. Imagine a slight jerk of the wheel when changing lanes when both front and rear wheels turned. exactly. you'll instantly spin out and die. granted, the rear wheels do not turn very much, but it does make a significant difference in the long run.

if you've ever ridden in a 4ws, you'll notice that the turning is very tight. you can easily turn into spots and those 90 degree turns are awesome. the owner of the local body shop has one in good condition.

the 4ws is a good idea. gmc has it in one of their new trucks... but i figure that truck will need it. hehe.

I had a 3000gt vr4 a few cars ago and all wheel steering and all wheel drive is a nice thing, but the maintenance on it sucked, so I can't imagine the feasability of doing a retrofit, it would be a nightmare. Great premise, and I wish you luck if you decide to try it, but personally I think it would be a waste. It would be cheaper to go get yourself an old stealth R/T or a 3000gt VR4 and throw some HKS sport twins on it and have a 550hp pavement eating monster(450 to the ground).

and if it were the spyder model, then being a convertible, you would have it all...and coincidentally be very similar to the VR4 in this month's SCC Ultimate Street Car Challenge
