Hi
I just want to zoom around normal roads, in the wet ( I live in the UK) sliding the back out like I do on my motorbike.
4wd makes it a little boring, and I miss the fun of RWD
PS what do you mean "not 4wd as such"
cheers
John

Subaru's system is AWD, with the manual trans having a 50-50 front-rear split using a viscous coupler between the front and rear diffs. The system is not 4WD as such.
It is possible to make it RWD, but requires removal of the front diff's crown wheel and pinion, and CV's and axles, etc.
If you intend dragging the car, doing burnouts, etc... the trans and driveline is barely adequate to withstand the abuse.

Well it's a little more complicated than just stickin a fuse in....It
depends on alot of things...first what type of tranny do you
have...manual and auto are two different things too. One uses a
mechanical solution to provide AWD, and is 50/50 all the time. Auto
uses electronics to provide the torque front and rear...and If I
remember correctly normal driving it is 60/40 or 80/20....I don't
remember. With the manual...you can't make it any more front or rear
biased. The auto is decided by the computer....I don't know of anyway
to make rear wheel drive unless you reprogrammed the whole ecu or
something....WAY out of my league
Sorry I didn't answer all your questions....I gotta leave shortly...I'm
sure someone else can give you some good tips.

only
I've just read the below
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I got a used 92' Legacy AWD wagon, I don't have an user manual but I
borrow a
copy of Haynes manual from the library, on it they recommanded disable
the 4WD
mode by inserting a spare fuse into the FWD connector inside the engine
compartment while towing, otherwise it may damage the transfer clutch.
This is
my first 4WD car, I was just wondering if I set this car to Front WD
would it
yield me better fuel milages? Will I do harm to the car if I do so? also
someone told me that the AWD on this car turns on automatically when the
car
feels the wheel is out of traction, otherwise it is running on FWD, is
it
true? Because I didn't found any switch inside the car to switch mode
about
AWD. By the way, I am living in Twin Cities of Minnesota, so ... I know
about
snow, but just wondering.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Is this true for my Legacy Turbo 4 wd Estate (wagon) as 200hb with only
rear wheel drive sounds like fun to me
If the above is not true then does anybody know if it's possible to make
it just rear wheel drive by some other method ?
cheers
