...make traction not a problem?

I know fitting a differential would greatly help but what else could be done. Is converting to 4x4 achievable? Would fitting firm suspension/anti-roll bars/strut braces help?

Before people say this should be in the help forum, I'm not asking for help just a general discussion!

4 wheel drive would be ALOT of work, but it has been done with the 4x4 rally corsa's

also structbraces, antiroll bars etc dont help, they only help going round corners

id say a slip diff is the only way to go

4x4 is possible, but would cost you a lot of money, and no one could garrentee a time. The whole floor pan would have to be altered, basically you'd need to have a cally Turbo, to take the bits off. And the cally is alot wider than a corsa, so alot of cutting and fucking about would be needed. I lookied into this, but decided against it.
Try a Quaife ATB, there suppose to be the best out there, buy some good tyres and then pratice your starts! lol

wheel spin u cant get away from it even wiv a differential. from wot ive found,

wot i usually do is adjust the suspension also to try and get as much weight as possible over the front wheels, ie slam it quite low at the front and raise the bak end, it helps but effects are minimal

This isn't for me

Why would I waste money on yet another engine conversion?
