Hey John, took a engine bay shot today for you, added to 1st post.

When I did the 6 speed conversion I was originally just going to change the R160 centre to LSD but came across the plated R180 and had to go that way so did centre, shafts, hubs but kept my new WRX 2 pots as I don't think the rear 2 pot brembo's are a big upgrade. The 6 speed and rear plated diff are the best upgrade I have done on the car (from PPG 5 speed with open diffs).

Hey Russ, non dccd box, was not too interested in something else to have to twiddle with on the track, turn in has been massively improved on track after fitting.

Yeah good thinkin. Most people i have heard from say they dont touch it much on track and usually leave it in auto which i think stays pretty much 50/50. Would be good to make the car more understeery or oversteery for particular applications though. Also what diff is in the front? I heard the 2 way plated diffs really reduce understeer and help with power down mid corner. When ya hittin the track again? Id love to join ya!

Will be doing the WRXOC AHG day so book in for that if you haven't, front diff is Suretrac which seems to turn in very well, I think to adjust any understeer I'll just adjust the rear bar as it's 27mm and set on full soft at the moment.
