u have to cut the light blue wire underneath the passenger seat, but make sure u put a load on the wire because some people had problems with tod throwing codes.

A couple of you guys already beat me to this, sort of; even disconnecting the front drive altogether, you're not gonna save much, if anything. The parasitic drag of all those parts still spinning ,and couple of hundred pounds of dead weight involved in those pieces, is gonna pretty much erase any gains. Not to mention the huge handling hit you're gonna take, all that weight up front, is gonna make this sled "push" pretty good. Understeer will rule the day if you get on it at all.Buy a Civic to bop around in, better yet, a diesel VW...they run very cheaply

u dont cut at all, u just unplug, but drives perfect, no problem whats so ever, the wheels turn perfect, the only thing wrong is, the cheak tod light will come on and blink, thats all. but u unplug the gray plug and it has three wires if i'm not wrong. but again, it drives perfect, just rear wheel drive. i drove like that for like 3 months.

Could you be a little more specific on what plug you pull. I found the Borg unit under the seat and it has 2 connectors one has about 10 wires the other about 20.

I discconected mine and took it out on the drift pad at Morrosso, its fun but easy to spin on the street and low traction, kinda feels like ice (wet tar covered asfault). Im putting a switch on the shifter (easy acsess on the fly) and going to try it in the sugersand to see what happens. Im lookind to slide the back out in 2wd then kick the TOD back on comming out of the turns if I loose the float and re-engaging it when I need help getting back ontop of the sand and when starting. I do it with the E brake and have entered turns as fast as 60 in the sand but have problems with holding my speed ( E brake) Im pretty sure it will do well in RWD once you have your momentum sustained. I dont like the way it trys to pull you around above 35 or 40 MPH, specialy in sand rutts. In the snow or somthing with less traction id run with the TOD on always. Ow, did you now your VX tops out at 75 in the sand, im very impressed by that.
