converting awd to 2wd

[kaninbu]

frankly speaking 4 pot is for speed below 110km/h.above tat u need at leas 6pot.

 

[stutzedward]

That bad? I don't know... it works pretty OKAY for me, probably I don't drive that fast. Hehhee..

 

[4gbanger]

ohh another poison.. 6 pot.. my wallet is all torned off..

 

[stutzedward]

Hahaha... 4 pots is enough for my slow big potatoe lo..

 

[4gbanger]

hey bro.. do u have any idea how to chop of some weight? i felt my car really heavy.. if only our bonets were made out of aluminum..

 

[stutzedward]

I did think about that before. You can remove some weight but will not be significant. Maybe 50kgs the most.

- carbon fiber bonnet
- rear brake light spoiler
- spare tire
- boot lid cover & curtain
- rear boot insulation
- rear head rest
- sunroof n moon roof glass to plastic

If you want more, convert to FF. That will reduce 100kgs.

More extreme, audio, aircond, power steering, dashboard, seats n replace with cf seat.

 

[kaninbu]

even u throw sum weight out. our trek stil have the heavy feeling.
1. too much traction,stick to road feeling.
2. chassis already heavy.

 

[4gbanger]

front bonets really is weight like a tonne.. but CF is too expensive.. any idea of converting to evo bonets?

 

[kaninbu]

custome made fiber bonnet.
lastime wira mivec bonnet custom made rm300.
anybody know who can custom maded fiber shop?fiber bonnet perhaps?

 

[4gbanger]

i know stutz know alot about fiber shops...

 

[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.

 

[kaninbu]

hmmm.....carbon fiber standard hoods~!

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]

at least get a 225 series tyre..

 

[cytien]

bro, dont forget share us the outcome of 2wd convertion.. and also the cost please.. tq

 

[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.
