sweet,
technically speaking, wouldnt this modification allow a free-up of about 10-15% of lost power to the rear wheels?

this is the model for the dccd 6 spd tranny correct?

The transmission is splined differently in the rear of the 06-07 STI.

Kevin no longer has his STI and the Lotus Exige S is already rwd...

Yes, something around there. As long as it's 04-05 STI.
