I went so far as to buy new shafts, then changed my mind.

Am pretty happy with the conversion for the most part, ordered up a set of 19" wheels in an effort to improve traction, but other than that, good to go.

only thing that keeps me from taking the dive is that I have a TIP :/

2fcknfst

Ahhhhh, yes.

It is possible to RWD a tip but from what I gather it really isn't recommended due to the PSM

there's no problem doing a rwd Tip, have done it, just currently no LSD's on the market to take it to the next level

Seems like a bit of a waste without an LSD.

he loved it, livens up the chassis not having the awd dragging around...reinstalled it for the next owner though 'sense of security'

Someone, awhile back, renewed the investigation into whether or not they could do a run of LSDs for the tip... Wonder what happened, never heard another word about it.

Is the procedure any different for a tip compared to the 6 speed?

Did you remove the whole front diff or just disconnect the drive shaft? I've read conflicting things such as if you remove the front differential you will need to adjust the front suspension to compensate for the lack of weight on the front axle.

There was a thread about a year ago, I don't' think there was enough interest in it.

I picked it up and spoke to suppliers. Only 1 was interested in trying to develop something. I have found a spare TIP to be used for development, it’s just super expensive to ship to the UK so I haven’t gotten any further. It’s honestly less to find a 6 speed and do the conversion.

I asked Matt @ Guard a while back as well and no interest/expected business value in it, surprised Wavetrac or similar hasn't just popped one out
same procedure, the front diff is quite light, for a street car I'd say no adjustment needed far as height goes, we didn't need to.... performance/track maybe adjust just to ensure weight corner balance

No surprise - they probably have to sell 20+ in order for it to be worth while.

Apparently quaife made one for the 964 tiptronic at one point. Wonder if it would fit or how similar the older tiptronic trans are to the new ones?

They are the ones willing to invest in making one of our application.

Now back to the intend of this thread…. I did nothing in or to my TT today, waiting for the FedEx guy to arrive with parts
