I have a MY01 JDM Sti and carnt do donuts in it.

You all most get it to do when it seams to try and correct it self.

Is this because of the centre diff and does not have a DCCD?

Not that im bothered but would like to know why.

 

i know my car wont its a my00 wagon cause of 50/50 split

i think u need the dccd to put it to the back to do the donuts

but then again im no expert..............

 

You ideally need a rear biased torque split and/or an open diff, so the DCCD has both (with the wheel back to the open option - it doesn't affect the torque split static)) whereas the non DCCD STi like yours has 50/50 and a very sticky diff (20kg/m on yours, 12Kg/m on earlier cars versus about 4Kg/m on WRX/UK turbo cars).

I dont seam to have any problem if anything to much spin what power you both running ???

 

Im running 339bhp and 308 torque

 

More than enough i should imagine dont know why then mate ???

 

i can do it with mine and its nearly standard lol. 2nd gear gets you spinning round so fast you could be sick.

 

Try raising the rear tyre pressures to reduce the contact patch and promote oversteer.

Also, try doing it in the wet and if possible, do some launches on grass before you go for it to grease up the tyres and make things easier.

If you really get stuck try doing them on grass, you're guaranteed to go round then.

Handbrake, :-)

 

Its your very stiff VC centre diff and 50/50 split, there isn't much you can do to get around that I'm afraid....

My MY2000 5 door goes round well on the handbrake and continues to rotate on the power. I've not tried donuts as I'm only using the technique to turn 180 deg but it certainly feels as if it will go further. There's been a few occasions when I've rotated a little further than intended (say 210 deg) and had to use a lot of opposite lock.

Do not use the handbrake unless you have a DCCD you will hurt your scooby

 

never had any problems in my uk or in my type r tbh andy.
helps if its nice and wet or a bit of snow might help you too m8.

Ill have another go some time

 

Hi mate,

What's the centre diff weight on an 05 WRX and would a less 'stiff' diff make it easier to doughnut..?

My car seems very rear biased when giving it some from the off/slow speed..

As you're from Warwick and seem to know these things you don't work for PD by any chance..?

 

It will be fine as long as ya not doing it 24/7 lol

And like donuts are good in the first place haha

 

easy just weld your center diff up like i have donut city

 

A more open/less stiff diff makes donuts easier, yes.....

I don't work for PD (PD do work for me but that's another story) but I am in a similar line of work and have a few ex work colleagues who work there....

Simon

 

try it on grass . then it will work . well kinda anyway

 

Wuss.........

 

i once dropped some people off at a festival, the drop off point was a big field, empty with alot of people standing behind a big metal fence, i was dead in the centre so thought id try it, first time i have ever done a donut in my turbo 2000. it sort of worked, i went round a few times was quite hard to control but was very fun and got quite a few shocked/amazed faces

would like to try again on in a big open space, possibly tarmac with money for new tyres

 

STEP 1 HAVE LOTS OF MONEY
STEP 2 DRESS SMART
STEP 3 GET A SHAVE
STEP 4 BUY A VERY VERY VERY POWERFULL MERCEDES AND YOU CAN SPIN IT TO YOUR HEARTS CONTENT AND WASTE EVERY BODY

 

I may be wrong but surely it helps if you have a LSD rear diff?

My P1 didnt have DCCD yet still donut'd very well.....

(ps what models would have lsd as standard?, would an sti v3?)

 

..........snow (first ones long btw)

YouTube - Impreza UK Turbo with Afterburner Vortex in the snow
YouTube - Scooby Donut

.......dry tarmac, first ones good

YouTube - Subaru Impreza Donuts
YouTube - Subaru Impreza Donuts

........wet tarmac

YouTube - Impreza DONUTS!

........failed attempts!

YouTube - Subaru impreza Donuts 1 (they both kind of do it at the end)
YouTube - Scooby crashes (ouch!)
YouTube - Subaru Impreza Donuts

 

The first one's my old one in my old Army camp in Germany Was good fun

 

The failed attempt clips there were class, the first one was just embarrassing and very stupid as there were family cars driving around where they were tyring to perform the donuts and the second clip was the most aimless thing I have seen.

Quality!!

I don't think I could put my scooby through the punishment of a donut.
