I noticed you blokes live in Newcastle.
A mate of mine who lives down there mentioned he always sees a blue coupe down there hauling around, in particular he said he seen it numerous times handing down a beating from traffic lights, to wrx's and the like...so is it this one? hahahah.

Hahahahah i dunno what your on about... mines is purple

DAMN YOU JON!! you know why hahah

Hey Bazza, i didnt know you need the switchable transfer case also.. ive been using the box in my FWD for years i think i need to read up more, like what will happen if i only switch the gearbox to FWD and using the standard non switchable transfer case? and whats the point of the switchable gearbox if the transfercase does it all?

Do you know of any of these switchable transfer cases around?

The switchable I believe has something to do with the centre diff whether it be locking it I'm not too sure.

As for the adjustable transfercase, it disconnects the tailshaft I believe.

So in theory, you lock your awd box to fwd, then switch the xfer case to fwd to disable drive to the rear wheels.

If you were to only do the xfer case, you'd end up killing your gearbox viscous. If you don't have the switchable xfer case and you only do the gearbox, I'm guessing you'll still have drive to front and rear but in a locked state?????

When you threw your captive nuts in the chassis, did you have to remove a plate for the captive nuts to sit in flush??
