well... what you can do if you were keeping it in a wrx...
you buy an extra center diff... its 75bux at rancho suby.
rip it apart, weld the spline to the top hat. weld the tophat to the case.
bam RWD center diff.
keep stock on for those rainy months. have fun with blowing your stock wrx rear diff. upgrade to STi or 300zx rear diff.
bam...rwd fun for long amounts of time.
you can leave the front driveshafts in, and just swap the diffs out from time to time. just keep a thing of toyota FIPG or hondabond around.
mah bad for coming off as callin you out mr sybir...but i'm used to the wonderful-ness of nabisco cause they flamed me up and down for the truck/wrx. search my screen name over there...it'll show the way things went.

Trust me, I love the idea of the EJ20 in a minitruck, and I can't wait to see it running around. Swapping the center diff is the first part, I just didn't want someone to get enthusiastic, blow up their R160, then try to swap it out with something else that ends up a different ration thant he front if they put the stock center back in, etc. You've also got to hack up front CV's to keep the front end together if you don't want all the parasitics of undriven axles (it's like running with locking hubs engaged)
My buddy's run two fully converted RWD Leg Turbo's, so I just know about some of the details on the Scoobies
BTW, have you thought about a better LSD on the rear? The stock VLSD on the WRX's sucks ***.

umm.. no it will not. I use that on paint all the time. At the most it might bring up the wax if you scrub hard enough.

Goo Gone will not damage your paint, especially on the inside of your trunklid
I've used it on almost every car in the club at one point or another to remove fender badges, etc.
