Xmods _FRONT_ Wheel Drive

To make your Xmod front wheel drive only:

- Remove the white differential from the rear axle completely so the wheels spin free.

- Install the white differential on the front portion of an "All" Wheel Drive upgrade (it's designed for two wheels only and gives you a true differential, the red is designed to disengage if one wheel moves faster than the other)

- Finish the install of the AWD kit as normal (except the rear differential) and viola! Your Xmod is now front wheel drive only!


This has a few benefits. First of all, it adds to the realism factor. (I've never seen a stock Civic that was rear wheel drive. Have you?) It also makes for better drifts around corners, and tighter turns for that matter.

I recommend a very stiff suspension on the front wheels as well as soft slicks so it transfers the most power to the road, since you do lose some compared to RWD (push vs. pull and all that)
