My buddy has already changed the rear diff on his STi 3 times (all under warranty). The dealer keeps telling him not to use the centre diff control, but then why do they put it there? My old boss' legacy blew the rear diff and it caught on fire. I know these are isolated incidents but from what I've heard Scooby diffs are weak and like to break.
This still doesn't stop me from wanting to own one though.
