Switchable rwd

[Scaley]

Hi,

Is there anyway of getting switchable rwd like a diff controller maybe?

Would be good to have some drift action going on?

Cheers Mike

In a word, no. The centre diff is an automatic torsen type, and will only give a max of 75% torque to the front or rear.

If you want rwd, take the diff out and weld it solid, and remove the front axles. Its been done before.

Its not exactly a well balanced car to have rwd, with all that weight in front of the front axle.


Have fun.

Well £10k will get you a nice trick gearbox - a couple of nutters have removed front driveshafts to achieve this, but hard to wire that up to a button... For drifting - might I suggest some generic Japanese shitbox is better suited to this form of 'motorsport' than an Audi S2 - harsh I know but I'm too old to appreciate it

what makes you think you can't drift a 4wd car ?

Wouldn't the light rear end on a quattro would make drifting fairly hairy.

Paul, you're getting old... get yourself and E30 and some nangkangs and then say that drifting isn't fun

Cor, got mixed opinions on this one!

Looks like permanent 4wd then cant be arsed with swapping gearboxes!

Just had RWD cars for a few years so it would be nice to have the option that was all!

Drifting might be fun - actually it is - done it in the snow often enough with 4WD - but its slow round the track... But yeah - I am a grumpy old git sometimes........

wohowwwwwwwww hahahaha! that general lee was mental! you see, thats what i want! ample amounts of power whenever you need it!

[Scaley]

That is an awesome car, it almost behaves rwd must have 600+ bhp to throw it round like that!

Cant wait to get mine done, all the video's I watch just give me more motivation!

You'll never do it but if you actually went and saw a D1 GP event it's truly awesome. The car control that these guys display, while racing a few inches apart, door to door is more than impressive. It has nothing to do with lap times, it's a small section of track, head to head. Anyway, you may remeber that the fastest way to drive a pre down force & slicks F1 car was in a drift, same for most cars pre 1980 before chassis and tyre technology took the aspect of on the limit car control out of racing, what about rally drivers, they live sideways while drifting, in fact I'd put money on the fact that you'd choose a mk.2 Escort over the local weather girl any day

That said, the Jap-crap scene associated with drifting is an entirely different story...

It's a pretty fast sport too when you're entering a corner sideways at 100+ mph

Ive been to EDC events, used to have an old stripped out 200sx which was fun!

They do have an amazing amount of skill and balls! Its actually a lot harder than it looks!

Just have to settle for 4wd and loads of power!

Cheers Mike
