hmm i was thinking of doing that for the same purpose

 

I think the idea of doing that is a great idea. Drifting is awesome! That's the one drawback of having an AWD car, you do get that grip that is much needed and wanted, but with all that grip you can't drift that well. So I think the conversion was really cool. They didn't say, but I think it would be even better if you could have a switch to switch from AWD to RWD whenever you wanted to. Sort of like the Nissan Skyline's advanced AWD system.

And there is no way that the Imprezza is going to be the civic of this decade. People still want their civics, and there are less imprezza owners than civic owners. Another thing there is a totally different attitude of tunning a civic and tunning a imprezza. No chance that a Imprezza will ever be considered a "civic"

 

Wish the DCCD in the STi could go to 100% rear on the toggle. Think a RWD subie would rock. But the one in the mag broke his rear driveshaft when he attempted to do a burn out.

There is nothing wrong with making a WRX into an RWD.

Drifting is cool.

 

yep yep agree with ya on that one...everyone and their moms and grandmas have civics, not so much imprezas, you do see alot more of them around these days but i think more wagons then sedans...and yes the tuning attitude is different from what i can see...impreza owners are actually into figuring out what will make their car handle and perform better, as for civic owners i'd say more then half think the first thing they need to do is slap on the whiney exhaust and drop their car oh and slap in intake cuz i mean duh it adds like "so" much hp...lol...not to hate on civics but yeah thats the trend for them these days...

imprezas dont and shouldnt even compared to civics lol

 

is there a way that you can just change the center differential in an STi to make have the option of 100% rear torque?

 

omg die

 

RWD has its own merits, as does AWD. Anyone with 2 bits of car know-how easily realizes this.
On the other hand, it'd be ricey if they made it FWD
And if the slapped on a shopping cart handle wing on the rear :banana:

 

I don't get why someone would switch a wrx to rwd anyhow...I mean subies are known for their awd prowess, why would anyone want to change that? Even if your doing it for drifting...why not just go buy an s13 or somethin?.....Though that dccd mod idea for the sti would be pretty hawght.

 

i agree about the 'new civic'. in a couple years when used wrx's go for $10k they're going to be picked up left and right by ricers and hotrodders alike. i shudder at the though.
