I know this might seem an odd thing to do, but I was wondering if it is possible to disengage the drive to the front wheels on a GT4, sending all the power to the rear wheels.
Ive searched throught the forum and cant seem to find any info on this Any info would be good, whether it can or cant b done... |

I would think no, unless you put in a mr2 tranny and made custom mounts to mount the engine the other way. you would pretty much need custom everything, pull you would need to cut out your firewall i would think. Even if you just got rid of your front axels you would still get the same power to the back wheels. not worth it. why would anyone not want awd?

All-Wheel Drive is terribly ovverated in my opinon. Sure, it grips well off the line and in corners, but it eats your horsepower at cruising speeds and has a tendency to understeer in most conventional setups (not as bad as FWD mind you). I would much rather have a RWD platform with a good traction and stability control for adverse conditions. That way the front wheels are freed up and can do what they are meant to do--steer; lightly and precisely. Of course this is a Celica board and a lot of the kids on here are bound to buy into the "GT4 is God" hype. This post has been edited by creamed_corn: Jun 30, 2006 - 7:50 PM |
