Fiona has bought a car!

I seem to remember that the mx6 has rear steering as well? Is that the case or have I got my wires crossed? At slow speeds the front and rear wheels turn in opposite directions, and at faster speed the turn in the same direction - though the rear one only turns by I tiny tiny fraction.

I think that's a great purchase myself.

Nah, that's the Prelude.

Ah fair enough. Though I could have sworn the MX6 had 4 wheel steering. Still, good purchase in my opinion, hope she enjoys it!

Good looking car, great spec and nice colour, how has the paintwork held up got and swirl marks on it?

I think only the earlier ones did

The system you describe sound like nissan's super HICAS, only the rear wheels do not turn at all below 40mph or so. Fitted on twin turbo 300zx's and GTR skylines. The prelude system is quite crude in comparison.

saw one of these for sale across the road today for a bargaintastic 549, although it did look a complete dog, yours on the other hand looks relatively good condition, hope she likes it!

Im glad your fiona knows how to drive a manuel
I dont see why its so hard for people to learn to drive a manual
Clutch in, gear change, clutch out. not that hard
And most women cant do that. They think they are good at multitasking

I can't honestly think of a girl that I know who drives an auto.

I can't say I agree with the statement 'most women can't drive a manual'

the prelude's system turns the rear wheels in the opposite direction under 30mph and in the same direction over 30mph.

That's what the earlier mx6's did having looked into it now. I guess the later ones didn't have this feature.

Does anyone know what the speaker sizes are for these? Fiona is going to need to be hooked up with some decent tunes.
I've got a Kicker 10" sub in a sealed enclosure and a Rockford 100A amp.
