Updates on project RWD

[92TSIpos]

since were on the rwd topic, can you convert an evo to rwd by taking out the front drive shafts, or is it like dsms where you have to make dummy shafts in the front?

i dont even know lol.... i'm a newb when it comes to knowing stuff about cars like that

just out of curiosity i guess.

i know i can't put it on a dyno around here, i gotta go to the AWD dyno if that matters at all lol

couldn't you just diconnect the rear driveshaft like Kevin and nick did?

[YellowEvo]

nope pretty sure i can't, they said i wasn't able to

you need a viscous coupler to do make them FWD or RWD, otherwise you'll just end up burning up your diff's

Actually...you need a viscous coupler eliminator, or a welded center diff, or spool.. If you don't have that...it will burn up the viscous coupler, not the center diff. I know you meant to say that...I am just being bored, so I thought I would clarify.

isnt it way harder with an evo? like it costs a lot more to disable? i dunno bout all you but i like the spool idea

Hmmm....ok, your description makes more sense than mine, however I have heard of subie owners burning out diffs when they just unhooked the driveshafts...but maybe they were confused too.

[PSiedTSi]

thats cause a DSM or evo drivetrain is way different than the symmetrical awd system that subaru's use

[92TSIpos]

correct me if im wrong but i think in a dsm the front axles turn the driveshaft, and of course without the front axles the car wont move.

back on topic please (I'm guilty too) this is probably one of the bigger tech projects going on in the FM area, lets not whore this thread to death.

[YellowEvo]

who's ever moding this forum delete the posts that dont matter... then maybe it'll get on track again lol

By the looks of things hes going to turn this into a fiero more or less?

[PSiedTSi]

not exactly...a fiero is a rear engine car that weighs like 8lbs...this is just gonna be a rwd version of a probe...still front engine

4-link suspension good for drag racing, ok on the street too. Good progress going on, I was over there this afternoon and took these pics.
