I'm interested in something similar too, just wondering whats the cheapest way to get dccd? this conversion tool is like $770, if changing box is the only way to get dccd then i think its not so fair to compare a $6K mod to a $770 mod. another alternative is probably the cusco 35:65 center diff. thats about $1500 + install, it is lacking the flexibily to control how much torque split you can have, but again its a much cheaper mod than a box swap. some may say if you want an FR, you go buy a nissan, but in my opinion, if i see a nissan drift i go yea that was cool, but i'll probably get way more excited seeing a gc8 drifting. its simply a rare sight.

The cheap way to do a 5 speed is using a early MY ( ea 82 ) front CV joint as the spline female spline mates with one side the center diff. A bit of lathe work & welding and you have a RWD spool , about $100.00

Considering on doing something like this to the rex if she doesnt sell and so i was wondering how is it that PLAY3R and the Green Brumby can have the best of both worlds.
I saw the green brumby at 1 of the events at plex smoking the rears and then launching awd mode!! ??? anyone can help here having best of both worlds or am i dreaming??

Also whats with the DCCD unit thingy i have no idea? All i know is you can put more drive through fronts or rears is that it??

Thanks benny

yeah benny. JDM STI's, RA's and ADM 06 sti's onwards have driver controlled centre diff (DCCD) you can wind it foward and back i think to 70/30 front rear or visa versa, or of course 50/50 split for awd action. I think depending on which diff you have it may be a different ratio..
