Is it really worth the fight to find one to bolt onto my Sti v3 trans?
Car is a hill climb racer.

I've just done it on the 2.5 STi4.

Hard to tell in the dry at Aintree, which is the only place I've run it since it was fitted. A damp or wet day at Oulton or Croft will give me a better idea.

I am, however, pretty sure that fitting the RA gearbox, which was attached to the DCCD, was a pretty stupid plan though- loopy, fun, but unltimately ridiculous

 

Graham try this guide to find out what models have got DCCD

Its fun, and it will give you far more control on the hills, but it will also give you another variable that can affect your run.

I have trouble remembering to unlock mine after launching on the quarter!

 

I ran an RA box for 2 hill climbs, went back to my Sti v3 box and went faster..
Still looking to gather parts for Xmas rebuild!
Thanks for the replys

If you say you've cured understeer, then a dccd will just lead to power oversteer surely? I saw a vid of yours and it looked like you were suffering inside wheel lift, but not power understeer?

I think a front diff and plated rear are the way to go to get the power down a bit better.

 

Rear wheel lift is becoming an issue now, especially at Prescott. Observers saying '12'''...

Some kind of front diff will go into the existing Sti v3 or a donor box, 2 of which i'm chasing now.

Do EVO's have something similar to DCCD?
Graham

 

Evos have ACD (Active Centre Diff) but you only get 3 settings, Tarmac, Snow & Gravel. The RS models dont have it though.

Conrad

 

ACD only appiles to EVO7 onwards and ALL models have it........................GSR's also have AYC fitted

EVO4-6 road models (GSR) had AYC whilst the RS versions had proper diffs fitted.......................

Alyn:
in your opinion if I fit a decent front lsd and a plated rear is the dccd worth anything on a hill climber?
Value your thoughts.
Graham

 

would probably fit an 'uprated' centre as a min. if your planning on using a front diff.................

less hassle to source and fit than a DCCD and probs more cash friendly........

cheers, alyn
