Front wheel drive?

[peach_dixie_the]

Me and my mate are wanting to get into doing some road rallies, the problem being that you can only use front wheel drive cars now.

Now we where thinking of using my Syncro and taking out the rear diff and prop, then putting a 2wd gearbox in. Is it possible to remove the rear diff without upsetting the independent suspension?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

For 2wd with a good weight loss you can remove the complete propshaft, the rear diff, the rear drive shafts (just fit some (scrap)outer cv joints or you will start losing rear wheels when the bearings brake up) I would think thats about 50 kilos less all told.

why wouldn’t you just use a normal FWD Golf for this?

Probably cos she already has a Syncro
