Fwd Tc

[SUPERSHELBY]

im thinkin about gettin a TC and i wanna make it into a FWD (front wheel drive) Scion TC. i also wanna put some liths in it, some people say that i will get tons of wheelspin, and i know i will get tons of understeer, anyways what do u guys think? would u do it?

Liths/FWD - Sounds like fun! you will get oversteer, not understeer, I think... but you can just adjust the steering d/r and you'll be good.

Get a civic or rsx body though man! it'll be a lot of fun to drive anyway.

You will get understeer not oversteer.

oh no, the tc is far from rice
as far as rice goes, the tc and civic arent far from each other.

the only reason to make a FWD car is for realism.
FWD offers no performance gains whatsoever.
even in drag racing, they put FWD against FWD.
there is a reason for it.
it is an inferior drivetrain setup for most types of racing.
in the real world, FWD is aimed towards those who live in snowy climates and is offered on most imports as a way to improve fuel economy.
a FF setup is inferior to almost every other setup as far as racing is conscerned.

i know but im just tryin it out, if i dont like it then i'll go AWD

idk about all that though, cause when I first made my civic FWD I noticed an improvement in Accel. but that was without the rear diff., after I added it, it accel. slower than the Stage 2 Blue RWD

I have no idea what you just tried to say....

but, FWD will be faster from a roll than AWD, but slower than RWD, and hurt handling.

like I told you earlier, and as bondo confirmed. the ONLY reason to go FWD is for realism. if you're going for performance, RWD or AWD will be better (depending on what you want it for....)

I like the evos all whell drive or would count that as pure riser?

[skyline_man_99]

[ferrarip4.5]
