Local Rear Wheel Drive DSM...What?

This is Kyle we're talking about... He himself rivals HORT when it comes to ghetto mechanics. :D

This coming from the kid who has not had a running dsm in his life! Fuck, I thought your car was one of Mikes first projects. I was there the other day and it is still sitting there. Go do it yourself ya mechanic. You give me shit when you cannot even work on your car.

I still am getting the feeling from what I'm reading that a few of you think that he did turn the engine and all that fun stuff. Its just a spool in the center diff (like v8killa said) with the front plung joint caped on the tranny. The fixed joint has the axle nut tight so the wheel bearings wont come apart. and bam RWD.

Simply disconnecting the front wheels will not help your 1/4 mile. If the intent is to reduce drivetrain loss, you picked the wrong set of wheels to disconnect from the drivetrain. And without doing a proper RWD setup, traction gains (assuming slicks) are nil. So unless you think its cool, there is simply no rational reason to do that to a functioning AWD car.

Are you insane CVD? It makes perfect sense!! BIG SMOKEY BURNOUTS!!! As far as performance, yeah it won't help at all.

Throw some slicks on there, do a big burnout and break the tiny AWD rear axles on the launch.

That is the only reason why he did it was to do massive burnouts... He runs AWD at the track....

Could someone tell me why burnouts are cool?
