Great write-up Joe - I've been contemplating this myself and you're giving me courage to make a run at it.

Thanks for putting this in print for me to follow - much appreciated.

Joe congrats buddy, it sure makes hell of a difference and you will grow to love it Btw what are you doing tomorrow, come out to the pca autocross to chill, or wanna go for a ride?

 

I did the RWD (non removal) myself and it feels like the car lost some torque, maybe it's just the surge of the AWD that's feels lacking, I'm going to see if it traps the same at the drag strip, it not I'm going back to AWD. It does turn better but there is still quite a bit of understeer present, some new tires will help that.

 

Dez you will love the 2WD set up once you get used to it.Bryan's is up on the lift having the full monty done now

 

I thought he was picking the car up today?????

 

Yes Stephen Did Mine And I Love It!!! It Makes The Car Feel Like A Sports Car... If That Makes Sense

 

Neil was too busy surfing message boards to finish my car...

 

Thanks for the detailed write up and pictures! I've been contemplating this for a while and will probably do the conversion soon...

 

great write up and pics....

chasen

btw, approx. how long did it take you from start to finish???

 

I understand the PSM still works fine w/RWD...as I believe it is actuated through brakes system.. 76LBS that's about 7.5 hp added to whatever was regained through no longer having to run power through the AWD. Be interested to see more posts of how people like the switch.

 

About 4 1/2 hours from start to finish (not including the 4hrs in the hospital for a piece of metal to the eye)Be careful when breaking apart the cv joints...wear eye protection.

 

Joe,
that is brutal, that sounds like when I got in a fight with a Christmas tree that my wife bought that was WAY to big and lost---pierced my Cornea to
add to the fun...

Can anyone be kindly enough to tell me how faster can the RWD conversion run from 100-200 compare to the same 4WD car?

What is the difference for TTi to convert compare to manual?

Regards

 

i was going to do the Mod .... but i realized i a rwd drive already... no wonder the front didnt bite much...

 

Good write up.

I am curious about this mod, what are the main benefits?

weight loss and a bit more BHP?

I came from a RWD car (track prepped Z3M Coupe) and loved the way it drove but I am not sure about doing this mod as I can get my TT to oversteer nicely anyway without the PSM on.

How long have people been doing this mod? and has there been any negatives?

Sorry for any niavety, I have not had my TT long and been modding it even less.

Thanks
