y will i need a new rear diff will it mess that up aswell as the gearbox ?
well i just drove onto the airfield with no permission and some bloke came upto me and said what the f**k u doing so i said pissing about in my car rather than doing it on the road
he just said well i keep this place up n running so i apolagised and he just said u acn use it between mon-fri but u must be conciderate and only use it daylight hours and i dont want groups of u up here just 1 or 2 of u and we are not to wreck the grass so i just carried on pretty much ( hope he was the owner/manager whatever he was )

You don't need dccd or sumps. or airfield. Just a corner. Tarmacs perfect, you need the car to grip when you put it into the corner point the car the direction the road goes out, DO NOT take the foot off when it starts sliding, us the power to pull you out.

for those of us who don't have use of an airfield, snowy carparks can be a great place to learn this at low speeds. Since doing so a couple of years ago the skills I learned have saved my (car's) skin a few times. of course snowy carparks don't crop up very often in the UK.

plus dccd only moves the power forward to the front, when the dccd is set furthest back it is the same as a normal box, ie open diff

yeah I'm almost tempted, but the summers are so fine down here I just can't quite bring myself to do it.
Yep I'm 99% sure that is wrong also. Here is a link to a thorough explanation of the DCCD. There is a link to a video on the second page also.

If you want to drift properly ditch the scoob and get a rwd car maye s14 etc.
to drift a 4wd car you need power and commitment to high speed entries
I used to drift and love it had a s14a and 350z but I wouldn't think about it in the scoob unless ice on the road lol have had a lil play and it just undrsteers massivly before the rear trys to break free not a nice feeling
As said by a. Heap rwd car if you get in driftworks you can pick up some old.Volvo's more than capable and perfect for what you want then if yiu enjoy it you can invest more money in a more capable car

...pr you can get yourself another centre diff and weld that up and fit that in depends how good yiu are with a set of spanners
There are also a few companies that make replacement spools for the centre diff that alow all power to go gm the rear end.
Either of these options will put strain on your rear diff so ivestment in a r180 diff and drjve shafts might be required
