    4WD Clio Williams?

    Is it possible?
    Was sat on that loo again and just thought if it were possible to do a 4WD conversion on one of these? Not heard anywhere that its been done before and was curious.
    Would imagine the 0-60 would be awesome in such a lightweight car?

    The Nissan Pulsar 4WD Turbo was pretty nippy as a small car!

    The Pulsars have the power to back it up though.

    IMO 150bhp isnt enough power to justify running 4WD, just buy some good tyres

    Ok, what if you got TB's and were running at 200-230BHP?

    I think the pulsars were about 230 werent they?

    Haha, that is mad matey!! Weird!!

    400BHP, sheeesh,,,back to the drawing board then lol.
    Matt should do it to his ClioTT.

    A few of the peeps on here are running 0-60 times at 5secs to 5.5 secs.

    How do u improve this? I know front wheel drive is so hard cos you just spin n spin.
    If you had 230 horses and moved it to the back, to RWD, would that improve ya chances of reachin under 5 secs for 0-60?

    Seems you need ALOT more power to make 4WD worth it and we all know how the evo's perform 0-60 as 4WD cars.

    Ive looked into it. it would be very easy for me to do using a TT box and rear diff, but even with 270 its not worth it. the extra weight would kill it i think.

    But... My engine in the back with an Audi A4 transaxle!!!!! now your talkin...

    0-60, 4wd etc is pointless imo, 30-100 is where its at!
