plain and simply awesome. I was hoping for the same results when mine comes home soon. Now I am thinking you and I should race How much acceleration and handling improvement was the 2WD conversion?

You lose about 135lbs removing the awd. Turn in feels a bit more crisp and I'd say it eliminates a bit of drivetrain loss on power, so those things contribute to acceleration and handling. The car is prone to a bit more throttle on oversteer out of corners than before, but the 16 yr old viscous coupling front dif was prob near the end of its life anyhow - so I yanked it.

great video. I loved it. Thanks for posting & please post more

I was windering about the AWD to 2WD convertion. Sounds like a plus..
Do you have any pics of under the car after the 16 yr old viscous coupling was removed?

~135 lbs. you need some 993 C2 parts - Fister DiPietro (fdmotorsports.com) can get you sorted. I think there is a DIY over on rennlist.

Dave,

Were you also at the GVC BMW weekend at the Glen on 5/4-6? I thought I saw your car there.
