Adjustable centre diff for 1999 turbo 2000 wagon?
Does anyone know if there is an adjustable centre diff the will fit my 2000 wagon and not mess with the gearing? Just fancy a bit more rear drive, bought my scooby strait after a s13 200sx with 300bhp so not really used to understeer.
Thanks for looking

Huge amount cheaper to sort the handling mate, honest.
I bore everyone on here with my get a Whiteline rear anti-roll bar sermon, but it works. Kills the understeer and makes oversteer possible on demand....

P.S. 911 is good at advice he may know where you can get one to fit a wagon, as they're not the same as WRX/STI etc....

My fellow preacher Dunx is dead right. Sort the handling and the car will be FAR quicker down a road than your current chassis with dccd.
I have retro-fitted a dccd/Type R gear train into my non dccdSti V3 and it is NO JOKE for minimal (on the road) gains.
If you take your wagon and treat it to Whiteline:
ALK
22mm front bar/ 24 adjustable rear bar + replace your plastic drop links with steel or bling alloy
Fit camber bolts in each strut
Have the car aligned to complement the above by someone who actually knows what they are doing, you will then have a great way to have a flat cornering Wagon that can be adjusted with 2 spanners on the road side to behave almost stock, neutral or oversteer (with the wife, on a cruise, with your mate!)
There are 3 hole positions on the rear bar that correspond to the last sentence.
Cost? About £500 all done by a Whiteline agent.
Try finding 'cusco kid' in suspension section; he is the UK Whiteline importer, and can sort out the parts and supplier/fitter.

I'm assuming you have a car in good nick, good tyres and about 32 psi Fr/ 30 psi rear.
I know the Wagons have stiffer springs in the rear so ask Geo (Cusco) if it might be better to have a 22mm rear because of that. I suspect he will advise 24.
Hope this helps.
It all works out a bit like this: Note how flat the car corners @ 80mph, and no understeer (I hate under and over, looses you time!)

I couldn't agree agree with Graham more it transformed my car, then think about coilovers with the right spring rates and you have a serious point to point machine on your hands.

For a more budget solution the STi 20mm rear bar is 90% of the bang for about 10% of the buck (mine was £14.50 off ebay including decent droplinks and the bushes)....

the dccd is tricky to install anyway on a uk spec car as you have a 1.1:1 transfer box so your front diff is a different ratio to your back one.
The classic dccd boxes and most newage run with 1:1 transfer gears and need matching front and rear diffs.
Follow graham,s suggestions - that plus the extra rearward weight and height bias of the wagon will make your car more tailhappy
