Major update so please forgive me........
The ASBO is set up excellently for track use and does enjoy a spirited fast road session occasionally but being FWD she's always struggled to put the power down at slow speeds in the real world. I finally had enough and decided to take the AWD plunge.
The AWD bits were sourced from an S3 being broken at a perfect time for me.
First the interior was stripped to access the floorpan.
Then the scary part..........
All welded up........
New supports added for the Propshaft......
The original rear subframe was looking a little worse for wear so was replaced by a much newer one before adding all the Haldex goodies.
I wanted the new AWD box to be bulletproof so it was fully stripped and rebuilt adding strengthening mods such as stronger shift forks and the input shaft mod. As I previously had a Quaiffe LSD I wanted to keep one in this new box, this time I chose the Peloquins High Torque option.
Unfortunately I needed to change my almost new BCS exhaust for ANOTHER new BCS exhaust but this one being the AWD version. Some custom modifications were of course needed and this one is super loud!!!!
There were of course other bits that needed changing to the AWD versions along the way too like the ARB's.......
The rear brakes too but just because they were destroyed..........
Custom Haldex wiring loom made up.......
Everything fitted and ready to go.........
There were so many other bits that needed changing along the way too that I cannot be bothered to list but safe to say it's all sorted!
It's just so epic having traction now, 420bhp with no spin is intoxicating.
All work carried out by AKS Tuning in Bedford so big thanks to
@vRSAlex and Chris.
