Default RWD Scooby?

Hello people,

I used 2 own a WRX import about 2 years ago, but had 2 sell up due 2 it having a bit of a petrol addiction! lol! Since then i brought a 200sx S14a which i have recently sold as i fancied a change.

Anyway the question is how easy would it be 2 convert a Scooby 2 rwd? I love drifting and also love scoobys so would be a great combo for myself.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you could get a scoob with a rear diff lock function, i think its called dccd.

it allows you to lock the rear diff and send 95% power to the rear wheels

will that do?

Not sure where you get the 95% from, its more like a 36/64 split f/r when all the way back.

Once again Tony, you are correct!
Gets a bit boring with all the cr%p spouted on here these days.
I thought we had moved on from the, ' Yes, a dump valve adds 30bhp!' stage!

google says they have ceased trading, but youcan get one from australia..

Cart Product Detailed

scroll down the page...

IMO, would be cheaper to get a spare centre diff and weld it up.

oops sorry, someone i met who had one told me that, not realy my fault



as for the "yes a dump valve adds 30bhp" comment you can go f.u.c.k yourself.

the was no need for a comment like that,

after all the ****ing advice ive given to people on these forums, ive put 1 foot wrong in about 500 posts and some t.i.t has a go at me.

Thanks mate, i also just read the link that Adam aka 500 posted for me and its answered all my questions.

Dont think i will be bothering as it looks like it cant handle all that power going 2 the rear wheels.

Still going 2 buy a scoob, but looks like i will have 2 buy a rwd toy as well.

Thanks for all your help everyone.

Stu
