Default Front / Rear Drive Bias

Is there any way of adjusting the front/rear drive bias on a UK STi8? I find it quite heavily front drive biased at the moment and am more used to rear drive cars.

Agreed, that's what DCCD is for. I'm afraid you need to chop the car in for a WR1, a JDM STI or the new 2005 UK/Euro STI with DCCD option. (Your dealer probably won't know about this yet).

I guess you could start taking a spanner to your car's drivetrain, but even then I can't think what you might do other than completely disconnect the drive to the front wheels - DCCD can't easily be retrofitted and you'll end up with an unsaleable machine if you start tinkering too much.

If it bothers you that much, a trip to Litchfields could be in order...
