I'm not a professional at this subject but my understanding is tuning is done at load points/rpm/throttle position so taking the shaft out shouldn't affect it that much as your tuning the engine not the driveline, I'm open to corrections but that's how I understand it.

Wont do any harm at all, just get higher hp reading in rwd vs awd is all. As you know the removal of front driveshaft is only a temporary measure for getting the car on the dyno & awd is re-instated as soon as testing is complete. Pretty common to do this if tuner only has access to 2wd dyno or 4wd dyno shagged/unable to handle power output of vehicle being tested.

The latter case was exactly what happened with my car at Garage Tenagah when it was being done. That was ages ago now & I have had no problems. Car is great. (Gearbox not so happy atmo however..nuthin to do with tune, more to do with my drivin) :miner:

Cheers GW

The only prob will simple disabling it electronicaly is that if something malfunctions u could end up with ur car spearing off the front of the dyno. Has happened before. JUST A HEADS UP. Much safer to simply pull the front shaft

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?

    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
