George... Robin is part of the furniture here, like it or not! haha! Ive seen his mug more times than I've seen my own! ;)

I still think that a front wheel drive GTi/Leon would be quicker round a track than an S3. Look at why all the Leon Supacopa's are front wheel drive rather than 4.
Its a fairly simple conversion that I looked into a few years back. The subframe just swaps over and its quite simple to wire the haldex up too.

....So does that mean that what we are talking about here (most of the time! :wink:) is a conversion to the Haldex version of 4WD? In other words it's only 4WD when the ABS etc system needs it.

What? :confused:
It becomes 4WD once the fronts start to slip.

....That's what I meant - I just didn't know which system it was so I wrote "etc". I think I probably should have written ESP or TC.
Thanks for the wiki link - An opportunity to learn more :happy2:
