Default Awd

It will take some top end off if your not running bearings. But, better grip, acceleration, and handling are the pay offs.

It will probably be slower because it is heavier and more to turn.

Yeah, it does give a lot more traction, some say it makes your car faster from a dead stop or roll.

I've found that RWD is the best, hands down.
I mean there's less to spin, no Drive Shaft, nothing besides the rear gears.

Really, just stick to RWD, if you want to drift, go with AWD, I can drift with RWD, but not as good as some people..

well what ive found is that youve relly gotta screw around with the front differentials and that it makes your car stop quicker because it has 4 wheel braking, which i like

Main reason is because the RSX seem's to be getting slower so I thought about it... Still never took her apart... Trying not to do anything to harm her! My favourite car :P.

Take it apart completely, clean it out, add AWD, be happy with the new traction.

Right now it's to hard to find anything I need anywhere's and I got so many screw's on my Xmod's stripped down.. That's main reason I don't wanna take it apart because the RSX has never been taking apart..

can i ask how many xmods you have?, and then just because you have never taken it apart doesn't mean that for some magical mythical reason its goping to die. lol . sorry if i sound rude but the best thing about xmods are that you can rip them apart and put them back together, and with all the awesome mods out there you can easily make your RSX so much better then how it stands now.I know how you feel though when i first got my black skyline i didn't want to drive it since i loved the color and body so much but then i took it apart the next day and shoved almost 100 bucks worth of crap in it and now it has bearings awd s2 lights and alot of GPM now to this day i love it. and i respect it and it runs great for me, but on the other hand i have another sky that ummm well ill tell that story a little later. but AWD is fun in a Xmod but i say RWD is so much more fun when you have a nice floor to drive on not something to slick.

I know I've taken apart my Xmod's a few hundred time's but it's my favourite that's the main reason. I'm thinking about it and might do it before the night's out.
