i know this video is old, and its a noob question, but how'd he get the car to be only rwd? i was told you cant adjust the front/rear bias, and its very difficult to make it only rwd... never been clear on how people did it...

Unless the center diff is a clutch type or viscous limited slip(ST205 is not IIRC, its just an open dif and will send ALL power to the axle with the least traction, in this situation the front axle) and this setup willl not last long at all in a racing application. A "locking" diff like was avaliable in the previous GT4s would last longer. That's with a simple block off plate. Another option which would only work with an open center diff, would be to make the block off plate with an axle stud welded onto it, mating with the front dif and the plate bolted to the trans, essentially making it appear to the diff as wheels that are locked up, and the way an open diff works, the center diff will send all power to the rear wheels. But again, this wont last, but much longer than the first option Best bet would be "weld" the center diff, then block off the front axles. but this is a pretty permanent thing, and pretty...shoddy way of doing it. Edit: the "quote" was screwey. and added another possibility.

What would happen if you'd block the front axles? Would it be a better way to get a Gt4 rwd? I guess it'd end up burning too eventually? |
