I read a few post a week or so ago where it was posted you can't do the RWD conversion up on the tip cars. I have a tip and was going to ask that question when someone beat me to it. I'll see if I can find it.

Yip, but Stephen is refering to pulling the driveshaft for the dyno, I personally don't know what is exactly under the front, but it might be different if the diff is pulled, Stephen might be refering to some kinda sensors in realation to the driveshafts.
So, anyone with a Tip, feel free to pull the shafts and diff, then see what happens!
Stephen said he would do it for free on someone's Tip

On a serious note Stephen, what is the worst thing that could happen here?

Sorry. No Tip here.
I will tell you that when I pulled the driveshaft on my 6 Speed last year, most people (except Speed Gallery) were telling me to expect all sorts of PSM and code issues. It turned out that it was all BS. The car runs great and the PSM works just fine.
Stephen is probably one of the most knowledgeable people here. I'm sure he's 100% accurate about tips not dynoing.
Just pull the the driveshaft and find out. It's 100% reversible and won't cause any serious issues. I bet the car won't even know.

I just wish I was over your way Stephen, I would pop my car into you!
