I never thought it would make that much of a difference

Next up is the JIC coil-overs.

Thanks for all the great advice Rennlist

Amazing isn't it?
I disconnected my front torque tube too, imagine my surprise with the power increase

C'mon, tell us more details, impressions . I am on the fence about whether to do this mod or not. I assume it gave the car a bit more snap?? Any other changes done at the same time??

Yeah, me too! More details! I'll be rude and ask how much too! Gee, you just can't take me anywhere!!!

Don't think twice, DO IT NOW disconnect the torque tube as well and the car becomes all new.......scary. The car spools faster, excels faster, clutch is snappy (on or off no inbetween), its great !!!!

Hey Patfat,

Is your car black or dark blue and were you on Sherwood Hall this morning? I saw a dark 95 993 there this morning (I'm living in Alexandria until my condo is ready in DC). If so I don't live to far away and would love to go for a ride w/ the lwf. I have the dmf in my RSA and would like to see if I can feel much of difference.

Thanks,

Jim

If I didn't have a MY95 I'd have done this in a heartbeat.

I drove FisterD's 993 with a LWF and it definitely revs quicker. Blip the throttle in neutral and it's very apparent there is much less weight to spin.

My 95 is in the air, on the lift, getting the rs clutch and lwf from Gert. Now I REALLY can't wait!

My 95 has it...and Chris is right...DO NOT WAIT...do it now. Its a worthy mod without question.

Chris,
I understand the LWF...am having it done now, but please explain the torque tube.

Torque tube is the essentially the front drive shaft. He disconnected his 4WD system... Now if he gets a 2WD conversion kit, he will also loose 135 lbs of dead weight ..

The LWF is amazing. As Chris said though the clutch is either on or off, so it takes a little getting used to. On upshifts the throttle lift and subsequent rev drop matches revs perfectly. On downshifts it's so much easier to match revs as compared to the DMF IMHO. The car is so much "snappier" and much quicker to spool up with much improved throttle response. The wrench who did my rebuild just recently says that the LWF/Clutch package is good for about 1.25-1.5 seconds in an AX lap. I have yet to confirm that however it seems very likely due to the sense I get from my brown-eye-ometer.

I love the LWF/RS clutch set-up that my car has.

Let me know if you do. I researched double adjustable Moton/JRZ shocks for 12 mos and found the consensus was 2-4 seconds and so far I have gained .10 (a tenth), which is nothing. Obviously I need to dial them in more, but my shop owner dialed mine in at the track on two separate occasions and I have tried probably a hundred combinations and so far nothing.

What about if you use your P-car as a daily driver? Is the LWF up to day-to-day duties?
