RWD Conversion
Sometime in November i plan on doing a rwd conversion in my WRX, reason fo the delay i because i want to take my car to the plex as is first to see what times i make.
I have done some reading on forums (perth-wrx, rexnet and nasioc). I dont want to weld the centre diff so i have opted to go with the PPG centre diff spool ( similar to MRT's item). The R160 diff has copped a bad wrap when performing this conversion, so i plan on upgrading to something a little stronger maybe even aftermarket. This conversion is just curiosity and for the novelty. I doubt it will be permanent. Before all the flamers come and say buy a silvia and watnot, wrx is for awd bla bla...yeah ive heard it all, afterall im doing this to 'my' car not yours. i dont plan on doing insane drifts or standstills, i just want to spice up my car a little and have a taste of something different. my main questions are on little tricks on how to strengthen the rear diffs and shafts etc to prevent breakage as much as possible, i know some breakage is inevitable also. my car is putting out mild power with 252hp/atw, nothing crazy like most these days. So yeah just some rear diff setup ideas would be great guys and girls. Thanks John

DCCD + plated R160/R180 diff.
Its the shit. More than enough sideways action for most. All the fun of a RWD car with none of the drawbacks. If you've got a 5 speed box, you can easily convert it to DCCD Spec.

tbh i actually hate the awd handling when its starts to kick out a bit...its unpredictable....bit of understeer, then crazy oversteer...in a split second

Thats mainly to do with the VLSD centre diff.
When you mash the throttle, the back has more grip and the centre VLSD is a little slow to react, so for a split second, the front wheels get loose, then the VLSD centre diff catches up and evens out the torque split.
