G'day,
if I set me DCCD to full lock and remove my
front shafts, it cope in RWD for very long?
Only about 200hp
cheers,
Samuel

what are we expecting to cope?
and what are you planning to do?
we went drifting in one last year, not sure on the specs though was just a wrx and that held out fine with 250 or about that had the replaced front diff thingy though

The centre diff.
Track Drifting is the plan.
Fingers crossed

Nope
The DCCD uses a multiplate clutch to lock the speeds of the front and rear output shafts (of the planetary centre diff) The diff still handles the brunt of the torque, the clutches just help.
Removing the front driveshafts will only destroy a perfectly good DCCD differential.

Use a spool in the centre diff instead. Easy to install in the car, the gearbox doesn't have to be removed.
Make sure you're rear LSD is in good nick too.
