[Wobbly Dave]

Yes I'm up up for this. Does anyone know if I could get my car remapped whilst there? Just a case of swapping Ecu's?

Ring Hamish to make sure - I don't think it will be a problem & it has happened before.

Is it a 4WD dyno?

Trip to Specsavers needed there, or his awd wheelbase is that short, that he can get all 4 wheels onto a single roller......lol

I fully realise this & no I am not getting drawn into the debate. It is technically possible but down to each AWD owner to consider it. Caveat - I don't think the viscous type AWD can be disconnected without some labour so lets not go there either.

I have heard of this being done on the haldex equipped cars, but personally if I had such a vehicle, I'd not do it just in case, It could be very costly if anything did go wrong and with my viscous type awd's I have here, I wouldn't drop the prop, has it would be a pain to do just for the dyno and wouldn't then be correct figures wise, as the transmissional losses would then have been altered

[Wobbly Dave]

To be fair Moley - I did add the single roller after the fact.

AWD cars can run/ have been run - I believe that would involve removing the haldex fuse. Contact HLM if you are at all worried about it.

I'm not at all worried, as there's no way I'm going to pull the fuse, and run it in 2WD.
