4 wheel steering RULEZ!!!

These guys have way too much time on their hands (http://fun.from.hell.pl/2003-01-09/malec.wmv)

I wish my car could do this.

haha yo yeah you know when someone has a lot of time on there hands
i wonder what the people in traffic were thinking:D

Nice drifting! :D

The Honda Prelude had a feature similar to that (forget which generation, something in the late 80's). Dodge has a truck that has it. The Warthog in HALO is 4 wheel steering. A lot of construction equiptment use it as well.

Overall, I think the major manufacturer's stay away from it (if I recall correctly, which I may not) because its effects are minimal and the parts are expensive and complicated.

But the interesting bit is that when the Prelude first got the 4 wheel steering (in the 80s) everybody thought it was the next big thing and would come standard on every vehicle. heh.

Kinda looked like some sort of demented Ice Ballet on wheels:D :D

The new Chevrolet and GMC pickups debuted QuadraSteer this year.

Skylines, Silvias and 180SXs had a version, too...

HICAS!!!:D :D

check out the link! Nice history of 4WS.

Mazda have also fitted 4WS to a lot of thier viechles of the 90's. The 5th gen Prelude lost the 4WS to cut down on the cost of the VTiR models(At least the NZ market one did) the 3rd and 4th gen ones all had it

holy shit that was awesome http://forums.off-topic.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif


good on him for not hitting anything while hooning around like that aswell.

saw that yesterday, very cool :D

4WS discussion aside, how the fuck did they get the dual steering thingy? He was going backwards for most of the video??? And what kind of car was it?

and fuck that took ages to d/l on 56k :rolleyes:

That was a Fiat made in Poland (and obviousl the footage was taken in Poland as well)

Why is it obviously Poland? I had NFI apart from Eastern Europe. Thanks for the info though. :cheers:

There was a "national" oval on the car with PL in it ;)

...and it's from a .pl site :D

That was one of the coolest things I've seen in ages! Do the two axles run off separate steering racks and wheels? At one point there was a guy in the car facing the front of the car and it looked like he was steering too....

Also, is there a reversable transmission to allow the car a full set of gears in either direction?

you also hear a guy saying polish stuff throughout the video..
BTW: This is so cool.. Is it a Dodge Viper filming the fiat? (it is a red car with white stripes..) :eek:
VIPER OWNZ J00!

hahahha, that vid is wicked!!!!

Looks like someones having a lot of fun building and driving that little bugger.

Dodge Stealths and Mitsu 3000GT's had all wheel drive and all wheel steer too, i really want the Stealth with that, turbocharged 300 hp. A guy that works up at a car audio shop has a yellow one, and the shop owner bought a silverish white one. then there is a honda civic that doesn't look too bad, dunno how many engine mods. and then, my god, there is a neon with the GAYEST REAR WING IN THE WORLD!!!!!! on the back of it, it's just butt ass ugly
