is 4wd the way forward after stage 2+

[toosmiles]

i remember alex talking about it too me m8
its just that i dont do any launches or traffic jam races and like pikeys car once rolling it'll keep up no problems with 4wd
it does make me think everytime i put money into mine to make it better,would id be better off 4wd/new car for 'just' a little exta traction for eveyday use?

It solely depends on what your going to use it for. Mine is dedicated to racing so I need as much traction as possible.
I wish I'd have done an s3 would have been far easier but where's the fun in that. It's not that expensive to do the 4wd either I have £800-900 in mine in parts. Same price as a diff fitted with new bolts

agree m8,mines for an everyday car really but more track days to come
i cant get a diff for £800 with new bolts never mind labour to fit it lol
ill look into someone doing a 4wd conversion,what car did you get the parts from m8?

[mk_boy85]

I used s3 and r32. Just make sure you get an s3 gearbox as an r32 doesn't have the right housing for our engine. There's always parts about if you bide your time.

Im 50/50 the in gear straight line speed loss puts me off, on track at speed through corners it handles the power well in the corners, but combe has fast corners, on a twisty track where 2nd gear is used alot it may struggle alot more.. once you learn the car with a well setup chassis its alot of fun, dont get me wrong its a handfull what hatchback wouldnt be with over 500hp, wotbox launches would be good fun but it doesnt really tempt me atm, i am more aining at fitting 255/265 r888 atm

I have stage 2+ R and it only cost me £1700 extra to get it there mate. My only real treat was my wheels (extra of course)

Thanks John for making my decision worse lol
The R sounds very tempting,I'd still need to spend a few grand on better suspension and brakes though,that's why at my spec everything is covered bar a bigger turbo

Simply NO

I have this same debate every day to myself. I have a stage 2+ eddy and it only does about 1000 a year due to cycling to work. I'm going to be hitting it hard as a track car over winter to get it set up and it's in process of chasing 500-600 hp as the close to 400 doesnt thrill me any more. Then I think shall I buy an R and start again??? I've concluded to hit the edition hard and get some big figures outof her, and I brought a R for the misus. :) at least that way I don't drive it so I don't get tempted to play with it.
