Converting the AUDI DRIFT CAR TO RWD & Welding The DIFF!

[@Dethleph]

In order to properly preload the front wheel bearings, the center axle bolts are torqued really high. Running the car without the front axles will ruin the front wheel baring and you also loose ABS, since the Sensor picks up Signal of a Ring on the front axles. You have to disassemble the front axle and take the outer CV joint off and put it back on the car to solve these issues! 😉 Please hit thumbs up, so Gingium can read this! Cool build, cheers from Germany

We knew that! Just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Thanks for making sure tho.

[@eyeamfresh82]

You can just run the cups on the wheel hub too hold ij the bearings and grease.

[@TheGalifrey]

ABS is highly important on a drift car right?

[@ncp61398]

Coach Life is the only dude thats thinking rn

[@nanormous-en9kt]

Does doing this make it possible to flat pull behind an RV without damaging the drivetrain? I'd love to have my b7 in tow when I travel.

[@chrisroemer1129]

Idk if it's been stated beforehand or not, might save you a headache down the road. The bolts that fasten the front CV axles to the transmission, as well as the rear CV axles into the rear differential, are not a torx or hex head bolt. They're a "triple square" bolt.

[@riccardo1796]

@8:25 It never was an open diff, that's a torsen, if one side is unloaded it locks You could have literally just unbolted the front axles, that's how we do it in the summer

[@TTRSEmotion]

totally, no need to weld the torsen

[@riccardo1796]

@@TTRSEmotion dunno if you're being sarcastic, but yeah, that's what LSDs are for

[@ingvers1436]

@@riccardo1796 torsen isn't really LSD, if you give zero load to one axle it will just spin like open diff. If one axle is getting less traction then second then it will torque bias the axle which has more traction (and wants to spin slower then first) with more torque. Nothing locks in torsen, the unique (sort of double spider wheels) just work opposite as normal differential (until almost zero load is given to one or other side)

[@robinhollgren8774]

My first comment to you so hope you read it lol. From past experience converting the audi quattro to rwd, you should also disassemble the front exterior drive shafts and then re-install it in the wheel bearing / center hub, otherwise the front wheel bearings will split into two parts and you will drop the wheels fairly quickly which will be very messy result . Good luck with the build! Edit, someone also wrote the same thing, so yes this is true story.

[@apike_72]

VW guy here. The second you said the axles were held in by Torx bolts I cringed. I was hoping they wouldn’t round out too badly before you realized they were Triple-Square. So cool to see a VAG build on the channel! Would love to come out from Michigan and run my mk7 or mk2 with you and Molly sometime. Love the channel!

[@essenel]

Caleb lowkey lookin like rick astley fr fr

[@draggonhedd]

Please keep those 5 spoke borbet wheels on the teal one. They are awesome, super strong wheels. and as others have said, you HAVE to run the empty outer CV stubs up front for the wheel bearings to stay together. DO NOT EVEN ROLL IT WITHOUT THEM THEY WILL FALL APART AND THE HUB WILL FALL OUT. also when you're welding spider gears, weld them to the housing as well as to each other. Much stronger that way.

Btw early Quattro car had a lockable center diff which you could lock with a button next to the e-brake/handbrake. Fits into modern Quattros too and makes this reversable as the rear diff was also locked automatically when the car detected slip. With good power this set up is pretty well driftable. Especially in the snow that's a ton of fun

[@jimmyschmidt14]

Don't set the brake clean on fire. Not needed and VERY toxic when burned. To save money you can fill a hand held pressure sprayer with acetone and hose your parts down. To de-grease use mineral spirits in the pressure sprayer. Walmart has them for $10 in the gardening department by the weed sprayers.

Guys it is torsen diff... It sends power on axle with more load, so if You remove front driveshafts it Will send power to the rear without welding, or if You disconnect rear diff it Will be FWD. You have to weld open diffs, it is waste of torsen.
