converting awd to 2wd

[stutzedward]

Haha no la. I only have a friend that makes carbon fiber parts and an accessories shop in Melaka. Dunno anyone that makes fiber. But fiber won't last. Cracks too easily.

Called ah Wah.. After converting 4wd to 2wd, cannot undo d... Have to buy new set..
So one more question before heading towards 2wd, is getting bigger tyre & rim can compensate the lost traction?

 

[stutzedward]

Theorically yes.

 

[4gbanger]

[cytien]

[kaninbu]

higher tire wall not bigger rims.at least 50 series tire to compesate the tractions.

Any improvement in terms of FC?

 

[stutzedward]

Actually it should. You have shaved off at least 100kgs. That's a lot of weight. What more, your engine pushes less moving parts hence lighter. U will get more power n faster acceleration.

tricks learned from need for speed underground......weight reduction

some update on the 4wd conversion to 2wd after 3 3months..

traction lost -- not really
fuel consumption improvement -- a little bit only, maybe need a bit of tuning
car lighter - yes

1 disadvantage is my gearbox seems to be very rough when press hard..
Bro Kaninbu, since u convert liao, is it normal ?

 

[stutzedward]

What about abt high speed stability. I'm saying speed above 180kph

 

[cytien]

Wah.. Haven't reach that speed yet.. Me slow driver..
Max 140.. Stable..
But my car like very hard to go above 140
