Not I, apparantly

 

Well well well....did someone say rear wheel drive?

You should do that to the V8TT.

NO need when you can already haze all four

 

Welded center diff? Very nice.

:lol:

Well, thats one way to do it!

That driveline was complaining in all kinds of wrong ways anyway, sounds like an appropriate mod for the car!

I bet your signature onramp slide will be easier this way

Ends much further down the onramp now too

 

Nice welds

 

drift car???

A little nose heavy for that

 

Nice welds

:wtf:
Thats about as quick and ugly as it gets!!

 

sweeeet, now put in a turbo.

 

I'm desperately trying to keep the turbo bug off this car, but there's all sort of NA tricks to be done yet. Stay tuned :-D

 

:vids:

 

Nice Nate, that looks like fun.

 

Now that the center diff has been , uhh, solidified, what style of rear diff will you use?

like i said!! :vids:!!!

Right now the locker is fun for some slideways driving when I wanna play, just push a button and poof, locked rear. At some point perhaps a torsen or such might sneak it's way in there. But with the uber spngy stock suspension I lift/unweight the inside rear too much for a torsen to really do anything mid-corner.

At first I thought you had just blown the diff. :wink:

 

If those front 'halfshafts' don't work out, I was looking under the business end of a 993 with a DIY turbo conversion that nuked a tranny last weekend, while looking for the front diff and drivetrain (learned the car started as a normal 993 after this), I saw there was some sort of nice bolt/washer/nut system keeping the hubs and bearings happy.

Yeah, you could prob chop the Joint off leaving only the stub end and get rid of some rotational mass. I guess it would also be nice to get rid of the front outputs in the transmission and you could move it back if you felt like cutting the firewall How close is the bolt pattern to a VW TDI? There is a place making an adapter for VW TDI to Toyota transmissions.

 

you wouldn't have to cut the firewall... just lower the engine and tranny to fit under the steering rack. but it's a whole ton of work involved i bet, messing with the exhuast mounting, oil pan and all that.

Which is fine, if you don't want to keep ABS working

 

I was thinking of modding my spare 01A by removing the front diff, blocking off the L & R outputs... then eliminating the torsen. I was considering this while watching a tech at work rebuild an 01A gearbox. I've had discussions with that tech about him wanting to swap a RWD driveline with a small block chevy into a B5 A4 quattro. Thing is... he's the sort of guy that will do it, his last project was a rather absurd wrangler. He's just waiting for the right customer to sell him their sludged up 1.8T A4 for a gran or two.
