Best Donor car for a haynes 4x4 4wd car
Can you help on this one
Best Donor car for a haynes 4x4 4wd car Best regards David |
That would be a hard one to do.
A 4X4 would require a complete re-design of most of the front end. :eek: The Sierra XR4 would seem an obvious choice although i don't think you will overcome the sump clearance issue. That would leave the Subaru & Audi options ;) |
sierria 4x4 if you can make every thing fit
|
Google "Dax Quadra", this was a Sierra 4 x 4 based car.
The problem with the system is that the transfer box on the gearbox for the front prop/differential is on the drivers side of the gearbox and therefore takes up space in the drivers footwell. There's also a 4 x 4 Locost, try a search on the Locostbuilders forum. Cheers Chris :) |
my question to all is why would you want a 4x4 roadster?
im building a roadster because i wanted a small fast rwd car. why? because they are more fun that way! i dont think its impossible to do and i would be very interested to see how someone goes about it. i just can't see the major advantage on such a small light car compared to all the extra weight and the time/effort put into developing it. you never know one day they may start off roading roadsters then it will be a great idea :D |
RWD much better and a lot more fun especially in the wet:D
I have my own section of "hillclimb" on the way to grp suppliers so drive it like a complete knob but boy is it fun and a damn fine way of relieving stress..I arrive with a smile everytime:p |

I have pondered the 4X4 option, the only way I can see to do it is to use the engine and box from a front wheel drive car, turn the whole lot through 90deg, then mate the drive shafts to dfis front and rear. BIG problem is that the diffs will need a 1 to 1 ratio. Good luck finding them. Regards Chris |

I asked this question some time ago on the LB forum, and whilst it can be done (and has been - although not a Haynes) it is a lot of work, involving inboard shocks to avoid front driveshafts etc. Link to LB discussion on 4x4 locost/haynes |
