dont know it its hard to do, but heres a vid from you tube with one

Speak to HDC subaru they did a pug 206 rally cross car that was driven from the right end

 

why would you want rear wheel drive instead of 4 wheel drive?

 

RWD is much more fun, did you never own a mk2 escort??

Subaru's make you think your a good driver, when in reality your pap.

 

Heres one i made earlier.

MIR MOTORS : Subaru Impreza Sti WRX V6 RA * Rear Wheel Drive Dr

 

i sure did,first car mk1 next car mk2 escort harrier,loved that car.

 

the guy in the first link is a mate of mine. he kept doing rear shafts in hes car and now its back to 4wd, nice wheels though on hes scoobie,,,, oh yeah there on my car now pmsl

ps: that car is for sale,,,,, stands the poor guy in almost 40k in work ect belive it or not !!!

i never got a chance to go out in it RWD,,,,, as he keeps breaking it

 

I looked into it for a Subaru Ford powered project I was looking at doing. However after much research I discovered that it can be done but it isn't that reliable. I am now looking at alternative gearboxes or a complete engine rethink (ie one thats already only rear wheel drive!) If anybody knows of a way to convert a Scooby gearbox (reliably!!) then let me know

 

Someone near my age then, I would love another escort but they fetch strong money. I just find the scoob a bit boring. RWD is so much more fun.

When I drive the scoob I come away thinking I'm a good driver...then my mate takes me out in his 500 brake TVR and shows me how to drive a proper car.

 

There was a video a few years ago of a rear wheel drive wagon being drifted round an industrial estate. It was going well until they clipped a kerb.

Had a look for it but cant find it.

Was out watching this at the weekend and it got me thinking..

wheres my pic?

 

 

what is it that normally breaks as i was thinking of doing this to my scoob

 

always wanted to do this to mine (for the fun factor)

it's not hard to do (if your good with a spanner and a tig welder)

just involves removing and splitting centre diff and welding it up again.......I'll see if I still have the link.

 

heres one, I'm sure if you search around you will find more 'how to'

Converting AWD to 2wd RWD w/ pics - ClubWRX Forum - Subaru Impreza WRX and STi Community and Forums

 

It's the rear drive shafts that usually break. Quick and dirty way to do it is to weld center diff and remove front drive shafts. Some front wheel drive rallyists weld their front diff so if you can find some, they will show you how it's done.

You can also buy prepared centre diffs from Japan but I think they go for lots of cash.
