HATCHY Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I thought about converting to rear wheel drive for like a month or something.. I want to know if this is gonna be hard on my diff.. cuz i really dont want to have to repair that.. for a little in the rain drifting fun. even though we have extras alot of extras at pull a part//// so will the rwd driving hurt my transfer case????

TheSubaruJunkie Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Our cars dont really have a transfer case. It wont do any harm to run in RWD. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOOBOUTLAW Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I've just done it again in my wagon (cuz the reman jy axlecrap won't last long), and I sure have missed the way she drives in rwd. Now with 3.90:1 and dual range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSSLGECKO Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 It's all about low range rwd and a front handbrake (an lsd would make for ultimate burnouts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManYaiK Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I ran my '87 wagon in RWD for over a year and the only prob is the bushing on the front of the diff dosen't last. Makes for clunking on take off. But it's WAY fun on wet tarmac and dirt:headbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWDGLF5 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I did it for just over two years in my (then) EA81 powered '82 wagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever Victorious Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 15 bux brand new? It was either $15 or $20 per tire brand new for 13", but yeah... On Evergreen just north of the Boeing freeway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballitch Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 i noticed that i could take of quicker in rwd because there isnt as much wheelspin. but in the wet it was interesting, not very much traction and weight out back..... it drives alot different in rwd BTW. ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWDGLF5 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I found the exact same thing - harder launches and extreme fun in the wet. I was running a 3.54 viscous LSD too - made things a lot more fun! You also want to toe out the front wheels a bit, gives more stability in cornering for a RWD, as there is no turn-in on power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HATCHY Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 Nice Ill keep that in mind I think im going to try to do it sometime soon.. But I dont know I only own one subaru right now and its summer. which means alot of camping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOOBOUTLAW Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I always do burnouts in high range. I've been able to hit second roasting both rears with 4.111, have yet to try with 3.900. I have a big stack of not so street legal tires I need to dispose of. Any race tracks having burnout contest in western WA? My ugly POS will shock em all!
