    My suggestion would be to add larger tires to all 4 corners, then change the rear portal gears on the portals to allow for more torque and to keep similar ratios.

      @@michaelcoulton883i dont know how it is in rest of the world but in slovakia, even an Audi Allroad with airsuspension is not a guilt. In a technical documentation of the car where is VIN, date of manufacture type of the vehicle etc. etc. Is also stated your tire measurements which tire you are allowed to mount on the vehicle. You can rise a ground clearance by 2-3cm which allows you to use larger tire e.g 19 or 20inch 255/35/R20 but in that documentation is only R16 195/65/ R16 or 265/35/R18 for summer usage. And now what... that was only an example, every vehicle has its own documentation with exact tires you are allowed to use, BECAUSE when you compare xxx/ 65 / R16 and xxx / 35 / R18 they have almost the same crossection lenght so the speed of your vehicle on the dashboard matching almost the same. When you equip your car with R20 tires and you use xxx/ 30 / R20 this tire is by few centimeters larger thus, when you have 50kmh on the dashboard in reallity you go 3-5kmh faster and that is against law in slovakia.

    Put some 24V 4kW starter motors on top of the front pillars with the solenoid engagment driving chains to the front wheels.
    Then you can have off road front wheel drive hybrid capability.
    Probably best geared for say 10-15kmph top speed, they will supply all the torque you could ask for in off road situations where you need the 4wd.
    Our series one land-rover would start in low range first or second gear no problems from standstill on a steep hill.
    It was a 1600cc about weight as your lada.
    You might not even need 24V 4kW motors, 12V 1.5 to 2kW might be perfectly adequate.

    • @jwalster9412
      @jwalster9412 Před 6 měsíci

      Some manufacturers have done AWS, but in most cases the rear wheel barely moves. 360° would probably be a mit overkill, but it's likely possible on a budget with basic hardware, anything past 70-80° is beyond what modified suspension that still retains suspension stuff can do. And finding a diner car with independent rear suspension, because you can't really have a driven live axle turn, and that can easily be ripped down and everything modified would be Next to impossible. As for 360°, turning, you might be able to do it on non driven wheels, but even then it would be extremely difficult.
