However, he has since fixed that.
To convert to FWD, he had to modify the internals of the transfer box. Just to give you an idea how bad he wanted to have just the front wheels driven!!
Evo scrabble-wagon!!

[quote="Christian and Beccy"]Well, it certainly manages to spin 2nd gear in the dry with no problems.
There is a very real reason for this. Who can guess it??!!

hes fed up of having a well balanced track that that sticks to the road and thinks that torque steer/wheel alows the car to stay around that little longer so the crowd at mcdonalds can see how cool his car is
or has he discovered that the motorsport world has been wrong renault F1 team who secretly have converted there cars to fwd and thats why there doing better this season
i still think its cause hes got too much free time on his hands

BUt surely the load on the engine is different, and I would have thought it would take less time to just go and map it on the road than mess around swapping boxes

If the RR can load the car up fully, like a Dyno Dynamic Rollers can, it dont matter if 2 or 4wd, as the rollers will be able to hold it at a set RPM even on full throttle.

Surly it can't be a time issue as said above refiiting the txb is gonna take up enough time that you could of mapped it on the road. Would be nice to see a erst evo though

It took Gary half a day to sort the Transfer box out and now he has a modified transfer box that he can swap in a couple of hours that will allow him to dyno-map his Evo whenever he wants, using his Dyno Dynamics Rolling Road!!
Makes perfect sense.

Sounds very similar to a friend of mine who drives miles to find a cheap
garage for petrol but forgets that he has just used extra fuel to get
there
Oh well, hope Gary get the results he expects even if it is done in a round about way.

Christian and Beccy,
I understand all aspects of mapping perfectly thanks.
If you understood the performance car market, you would have bought
a 4WD rolling road.
Only playing with you

But an extra £45k on a 4wd upgrade isn't currently justified when we are booked for 6-weeks with 95% 2wd stuff.
If you understand all aspects of mapping, you will understand that just as there is often no substitute for mapping the car on the road, there are also definate advantages to being able to monitor the car fully on the Rolling Road and have full control over where EXACTLY on the map you are for starters!!
