impreza rwd conversion?

CRASH · 09-04-2006, 11:38 AM

How hard is it to convert a impreza to rwd? Is it permanent or could I like just make it rwd for a drift even then convert it back to awd the next day? A impreza is really appealing to me because we have very bad winters here.

i heard there's a replacement for your center differential that you can get from japan for about 550. i'll have to ask my friend who has an impreza for more details

All Subaru owners now hate you!

Awd is what makes Subaru, although it doesn't make for good high grip, low power drifting. Nothing like trying to spin 4 tires on asphalt with 170HP.

Weren't older Imprezas 2wd? ...maybe they were only fwd. You might want to hop over to Nasioc too and do a little SEARCH buttom action. I know there's been a bit of discussion on rwd conversions, although flaming does occur.
