I'm not sure if this is a repost or not, but it looks pretty sweet.

Oldest shiz on the planet. It's fossilized bro. Faw cil eyezed!

Re: RWD 1g
 

stupid question...did he drop the front axles or did he weld the VC and then drop the front axles. I am confused how he made it RWD. But that is new to me and sweet. The way he layed down that rubber at the end.

Re: RWD 1g
 

Ghetto!

Re: RWD 1g
 

You can do it by putting in a welded viscous coupler and cutting the axles out of the front shafts.

Re: RWD 1g
 

Is it even worth it to make it RWD?
And that is one squeeky dsm.

Re: RWD 1g
 

Depends what you want out of it. If you want to grip and go, no that was not a smart thing to do. However, if he wanted to be different or wanted the ability to do burnouts and shit I think he succeeded quite nicely. I was actually VERY close to doing this to my parts car and rebuilding another motor to drop in it. I need the parts and money from selling the excess parts so no RWD DSM for me.

I've seen supras pull 1.3 60's...

But I guess no one has ever put slicks on a DSM before.:rolleyes:

Re: RWD 1g
 

Looks like a dumbass who can't drive. Ever see Kyle's old car do the burnouts? I'm sure someone has one around here. If anything, we can just wait to see Vassil's car run..

Yawn, I can lay rubber forever with my AWD with the Koni's set on full firm.

Re: RWD 1g
 

DSM rear ends aren't nearly as stout as a Supra's. They snap axles only receiving a little over half the engine's output.

Re: RWD 1g
 

ehh could it just be a broken center diff?

Re: RWD 1g
 

old vid, but still something to watch when im bored.

Re: RWD 1g
 

Are you serious....?
Yeah, as Steve pointed out the Supra's shit can stand it better but theres no reason to get rid of AWD for the purpose of launching (for any normal street driver anyway). You'd have to spend a lot of money to convert an AWD into RWD and make the RWD launch as good as it did before when it was AWD. An AWD buddy of mine consistently cut 1.7-1.8's when he was moderately modded whereas back home a guy I know with a modded SRT and another guy I know with a 355 Camaro are both happy to get close to a 2.0 and I dont think either have gone under.

I spun all four the entire length of the parking lot in front of my shop last summer, at a measly 21psi. It fishtails like a mofo.

Re: RWD 1g
 

Yeah, once you get some power even AWD has traction issues. Just hammering on my car in 2nd will send it sideways on the interstate, no clutch or anything, just stepping on the gas. I'll have DR's on this year, so hopefully that will stop, but I will have more power too...

Re: RWD 1g
 

Wait, wasnt the car in the video a member of this site. I forget who it was but i remember he like broke the front axles and then made this video and was laughing about how it was the ghetto conversion.

Re: RWD 1g
 

The DR's are better, but I'm guessing you'll need the same amount of traction I need. QTP's baby!!
