C4 - convert to 2WD ?

[bobt]

Sorry if this is a re-post, but search is still down.

s it feasable cost wise to convert a 993 C4 or C4S to 2WD.

Other than removing the propshaft, front diff and front drive shafts, are there any other major issues?

I appreciate hte front hubs would be different would they be a straight swap for hubs off a 2WD car.

If one did this would it be reasonbly straightforward to reinstate 4WD at a later date?

Id it worth doing? or is the C4 not t hat different to drive? I have read here about understeery handling on the 4WD cars.

I thank you.

Definitely not worth doing. If you want a C2, buy a C2.

If you want a C4 without the understeeriy handling, then get the geometry changed; on the 964 I know that this issue is helped by changing the anti-roll bars, although I couldn't tell you what the 'better' spec is.

One of th ereasons I bought the tt for was because it WAS 4WD. Fantastic when it's wet

One of the reasons I bought a 997S was because it didn't need 4wd.

OK anyone care to answer from a technical view point and also cost wise? I appreciate that some of you will prefer 2WD or 4WD, as that is what you have chosen for your own reasons.

The issue is the price difference seems to be on average around £5000 between a good low mileage 2C and 4C.

I would rather by the lower cost car, espically if I might change the front brakes and hence possibly hubs too.

more thoughts please

as in the C2 is more 5k more? seems odd

I've never noticed any significant difference in prices and wouldn't value each much differently if buying in. Condition, history, mileage, colours - yes, 4WD or 2WD not much in it.
