It is FWD still but the act of accelerating from a stop will still cause a FWD vehicle to lean backwards when speeding up, just like any other car. It's physics and I won't bore you with the details. I don't think the wheelie bar is there to prevent a wheelie in this case, more just to keep the vehicles weight forward for better traction on the front tires while it accelerates. If I'm wrong, someone correct me.

 

I understand the physics behind it, which is why I didn't really understand it. I suppose you'd want to maintain an even weight balance, but it's not like the car is going to be able to get that high up as it has about 6 feet of car behind it. I don't see how it could help torque steer as well. I still don't understand it. FWD cars are for daily use anyways.

EDIT: I just took another look at the car, and it does seem to be a well put together vehicle, so I'll assume they know what they're doing. It just still doesn't make sense to me. As well the wheelie bar looks to be about 3" of the ground, so my new assumption is that their suspension is messed up and lower's down more than 3" (under hard acceleration) which would probably create rubbing (which would slow down the vehicle)...i don't know about these hondas

 

The wheels on the wheelie bar are touching the floor...I don't think there's much give in the bar. The more weight kept at the front, the more traction the car has, so they would actually prefer there to be a weight bias towards the front...rather than an even weight balance.

 

its much like bicycles
you start off on a tricycle, then you get a two wheeler with training wheels and maybe some colorful tassels for the handlebars. then eventually you kick off the trainers an get a bmx

after the bmx you get a front wheel drive honda with training wheels and drive only in straight lines. after you get used to that you kick off the trainers and get a mustang or an old cutlass. then once you're old enough and you have mastered the rear wheel drive, you may enter the world of the rotary, at which point it might be a good idea to change the name "training wheels" to "wheelie bars" and dig em out of storage again

 

^ sounds reasonable to me. I think I may skip a few steps and put the tassles on my rotary's mirrors. I'd really just like to bypass the FWD Honda stage that you listed.

 

I must have had something good that night. The wheels are totally on the ground! I don't know when I mentioned the weight basis. But that I do understand.

And I thankfully bypassed the civic stage...Thank God, dodged a bullet there.

 

lol...it's not that bad...haters. I had an accord with an H22...no regrets...fun car. Can't hate on the FWDs...honda makes some badass handlers.

 

an accord eh...




what color were your tassles
