Makes no difference as long as the ratio is correct.

dccd centre diff, between £150 and £300 is what they go for.

i just bought a neetronics dccd controller, which was £280 as part of a groupbuy

Might not want the close ratio of the type r.

This way you can fit the DCCD and still have the ratios of the UK or STI box.

Thumbs up

For p1 doc

Rear R160 of the P1 works perfectly well with the dccd - as long as the transfer gears are 1:1 not 1.1:1 as in UK models.

The P1 has the same drivetrain as the JDM StiV saloon so 4.44 diffs front and rear, and 1:1 transfer gears.

As a result, as Christian says, you can just swap the viscous centre diff for the dccd and go for an aftermarket controller or you can go the whole hog and source an Sti diff ecu, handbrake switch, thumbwheel lights set up etc as I did.
