i mean dont get me wrong ive had a play in mine in a private car park of course and always in the wet,, i think dry tarmac puts far to much strain on the car.

Maybe a total stupid question, but not have a my scoob that long. Will those cars have dccd boxs?

they look to be handling like a rwd car, I am just wondering if it is due to more power going to the rear wheels or it is simply more power?

its DCCD mate, you can manually adjust the power ratio,, 05 onwards sti's came with it and limited classic versions,, ie the type r and so on

At the end of the day if he has the money to repair it if it goes bang then fair play to him. After all people pay £500k for a WRC car and rag it through forrests. Looks great fun though.
