Im currently looking at buying a type R, ive driven an RA, when i moved the dccd wheel there was quiet motor noise then a clunk
I had a drive in type R but there was no noise when i moved the dccd wheel
the lights moved up and down but didnt feel like it was doin anything.

Can anyone tell me if the dccd should make any noise when selecting?

Thx
Tim

 

Mine doesn't make any noises when altering torque split under power, it will clunk when accelerating hard, going over rises, tight hair pins or slow manouveres like parking if I've forgot to wind it off.

if there is a problem with the DCCD then the lights will flash on the dash when you move the control wheel.
Mine doesnt make any noise. But it does clunk at slow speed turning corners or parking, this is normal.

 

ah thats good news i expected some diff clonks when turning tight corners didnt hear any but as long as theres no noise when selecting im happy

Thx

Right I've bought a STI TYPE RA and I've not touched the centre diff adjuster as I dont have a clue what this will do to the car. I know it adjusted the power transfer between the front and rear by tightening the diff but as to which setting does what I'm not sure any help? Ta

 

The controller can have a pronounced effect on the behaviour of the car in different conditions.

IMHO:
Normal road driving have the dash lights on green, ie wheel wound to fully open. Use this setting for parking etc too.

For a good blast set the wheel to just out of the green towards amber (just)

The further you go to fully locked the wilder the effect (not always a good effect!).

Fully locked: Never on a dry road, can be good in the gravel/snow. The lights are red for a good reason.

 

cheers for that. So in wet conditions would just out off green also be worth a try?

 

Out of interest.. does anybody know the power split (fron/rear) at the different setting?

I know it is probably on here somewhere but thought i'd be lazy and hi-jack the thread .

 

The trick is to carefully experiment.
On a good slippy wet road you can gain on traction but might get a fright when heavy braking...

 

Fully open I think its something like 33% front 66% then adjusting the wheel is basically 'whatever' as its not preset.

Cheers just what I was after

No wonder the scoobys get linked with chav's

 

INDEED

 

lol i have owned this car for a week and havent even tryd a donut yet need to get it out of my system lol to affraid of getting cought by the cops tho

 

Its expensive when things break doing doughnuts, let you think of that first, followed by carparks may seem to be private property but they are open to the public and also come under police control if there is any bad driving involved, ie you face the same charges if caught, also those nice camera's that check the carparks out, nice to see big brother is watching.
If you wanted to do doughnuts you should have bought a rear wheel drive car

no donuts it is then thanks

 

If you want to see donuts just go on u tube, let them reck their cars and you keep yours nice and mint.
