whats the approx cost to have the converted to RWD? and whats the main reason for this? Does the car have enough traction when RWD only? I love the AWD here in Florida, for you never know when the skies will open up and rain on us..

Differential itself is a bit over 3K, expect another 750-1500 for install and misc parts that you may need while inside the trans. It's also a good time to upgrade the syncros if yours are warn to motorsport units, but not necessary.

So true! People think here in FL we drive our cars all summer, truth is that's usually when the cars get put away because it's so damn hot!

That's true! I use to live in Miami and got an Accord for my DD, I didn't want my turbo to bake in the sun everyday while I was working.

The tires spin in AWD mode also. Don't forget in AWD mode when you punch gears 90% of the weight shifts to the rear in 996TT so therefore not much different from RWD mode. Tires make the difference off the line. I think it is a personal choice.
