To convert it to RWD the front drive shafts are removed and the centre diff is locked. To do this you can make a fancy insert for the diff or just weld it up. Using the driver controlled centre diff in a WRX won't make it RWD either, there is always some drive going to the fronts.
@Mungalicious3 ya i figured that out on my own, i kno you gata take the fronts out, but what do you have to buy, and welding it together is the stupidest thing. (not saying your stupid). because when the tires turn the outer tire wants to rotate faster and so the cars gata hop.
There is still a rear differential which will continue to operate normally. You weld up the centre diff only, the one that distributes power front and rear. If you don't then the front output shafts will spin at a million miles an hour and you'll go nowhere. Hope that makes sense.
you get 80% power to the rear and 20 to the front in a scubby with it set to the rear and you can drift with 4x4 you should see my F150 in the snow hahahaha
@labedra any STi with enough WHP can be drifted in AWD :) just depends on how your suspension is set up. having a purpose built rally car helps too lol
@labedra that's not drifing...it's called gymkhana. He couldnt hold a tight chain drift around this course because of the AWD. Watch his videos more closely and notice they are limited slides. However, noone can touch him in gymkhana
@poop4256 it depends on how much is the traction ratio...generally the 4WD cars are not 50/50...u'll find 60/40 or 70/30 most of times...the bigger number is from the rear off course...but u can hold a sustained drift with a 4WD , cannot compare with RWD though...
@kamilpolniak nope, the subarus are powerfull enough to pull these kinds of drifts even with all wheel, its amazing, the all wheel actually helps come outa the drifts cuz it keeps the car from loosing control, it sticks to the ground and bites better. subarus are number 1
it is a wrx sti sti only tuning arm of subaru and i wouldnt say that rwd myself just some 4 wd powersliding and they not one of the best drifting cars muppets
same thing just with more stuff this is a Crawford Performance Subaru with there block in it just like ken block's just rwd only if you see them make his they use a whole new block for the Subaru which is sick as hell and Tanner Foust help set this car up as well
and the drive is Stephan Verdier with Cooper Tires and Crawford Performance wich is big for maxing out Subaru's and he is good friends with Tanner Foust and Rhys Millen not all that he had a few pole's in 2009 FD one 1st and a 2nd place. not bad for some one that gos to the track only need a crew bad
modified the steering rack and knuckles yet? its just nice to see 4wds converted to only rwd and gettin lotsa angle. not so much angle on this one though.
It is true that with certai STi's such as type R coupes and STi RA's and some spec C's that you can se the DCCD to adjust distribution between front and rear. THIS however is not the case for this car, clearly this has the front locked out completely for rear wheel drive. I put mine all the way to the rear and it lights up for sure but it eventually grabs and pulls. this is rear wheel drive.
its not just a wrx STi only the Wrx STi Ra you can split diff like 80% at the back and 20% at the front you cant full on 100% at the back tho, But still phat
well idk if he converted it or not but since 02 the STi has a button next to the shifter that u can flip up to make it FWD or you can center it for AWD and also you can flip it down to make it RWD thats probly what he did... or maybe he converted it... idk
the button you're talking about is a torque distribution wheel. It can only shift from 50/50 to 65rear/35front, so you can hardly call it a RWD. And it def not there to make it a FWD car.
I think, that first year or two the torque distribution range was wider - maybe 25front/75rear, not sure, but later Subaru narrowed it to 35f/65r.
The car in the video def not an AWD car OR it has HUGE amount of torque and somewhat modified torque distribution range.
@stormtrooper2491 it's because the motor has potential and those bastards over at D1 have this idea that ONLY RWD cars should be allowed to drift...hence why I don't watch US based Drift events.
The main company that makes the solid center diffs is Watanabe Service in Japan. They make the part for Subarus and Mistubishis. Its the part i bought to make my impreza RWD. I love the ignorance of Hilltop530... good for a laugh :D
You CAN, however buy a part to eliminate the center diff from a company in Australia, and I do beleive Zero-sports makes one, also JUN has one. Around $700-1200USD
You're all wrong... the DCCD adjusts the amount of lockup the center differential's clutchs have. it's ALWAYS a 35/65 in the 04's and a 43/67 ( I think) for the 05's up.
seriously tho if you really know about drifting most Subarus you would know that the counter-steer is completely different specialy for the distance he is drifting. Thanks for trying
... no i didn't think so either so how about before you type like YOU think that you know everything... stop .... just stop and take a long hard look at yourself.
someone get a reward for the smarty pants before he feels inadequate and strikes again.
yea.. your right.. but its obvious its rearwheel drive bro.. im sorry.. maybe a set of coupld of sets of tires for the rear.. .cause if you didn't notice those were the only ones burning off =)
awd will pull the car back to straight after it gets a good amount of disance. i was there that day at formula d in wall. seen it all that car is rwd. overall he put on a good qualifying run but didnt make it to compete
ummmm...isn't it fricken obvious? There isn't any smoke coming out of the front wheels, and they couldn't drift on dry tarmac that well with AWD. It's a RWD conversion......................duh.
