Updates on project RWD

[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.

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.

matt fauls 1g probe.

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.

Nice now i know who to call when i want to complete my frame

[King Ricer]

any new updates??

[fallguy]

I got the narrowed Ford 9 on Monday. I'm working on mounting the 4 link brackets to it and also back brace. I have one sub frame connector installed too. No new pics yet of the 9.

Oh, I did get a set of drag Aerospace brakes for the rear, 4.11 gear set, and a Moser spool for it. On the way!

Looks like your making some good progress. Keep up the good work Matt.

[probe this]

Wow, it's really coming along matt. I'll have to stop by and take a gander one of these days.

[karter_2_22]

i like the set-up, should move pretty good

[SleeperMx6]

You must be the only rwd probe in the states?
