hi there.my mates got a 4wd sapph and was thinking of changing it to 2wd.just wondering whats all involved and what parts would he need to change.
Hes also got coilovers at the minute but with them being for 4wd would he be able to still use them or would he need 2wd shocks aswell.
Also if doing this what price would be a good price for everything he would need?
Thanks in advance for any help.

cheers for the replys.so it aint that easy a job and more involved than he first thought then..
As for how it drives surely it should be the same??
Maybe its down to it feeling shit since they were used to 2wd?
Anyway thanks again and il let him know he mite still want to do it as hes put alot of time and efort in to this car to get it as mint as what it is.and would cost alot of money to find a 2wd in black as mint as this.

although he has spent a lot of time on his car it woould be stupid to convert

4wd also sell for more so make sense all round

4x4's convert themselves to 0wd without any work or cost

id say convert if youve got a right clean 4x4 there davie as it wont cost much,and the 4x4 engine,roll bars,managment etc etc areall better than 2wd +youve got a newer car

Daviet

tony thats the conversion he doesnt want lol.
Think thats why he was maybe going to convert as you need a fortune to make a 4wd realible transmision wise.
Cheers col.glad someone seen where he is coming from.
He can get all the stuff he needs for 500 so not to bad if he was to sell his old bits wouldnt cost that much just his labour.

Fair bit of work, but i'd do it if I was in his situation, had the facilites and the parts wouldnt cost much!
