Does this not require DCCD..?

Also how good is it for the diffs..?

If you had a DCCD the car would rotate around the front wheels but as its a 50/50 split the car will rotate around the centre axis of the car, as you can see in the video ;)

MikeWood 07 October 2005 03:22 PM

It's quite easy when you know how ;) The car in question is an STi which does have DCCD-A and as you may have guessed that it's on our wet grip area. Brian has a video of me doing something similar although I don't need the handbrake to get it going.... :)

Brian the Sn@il 07 October 2005 03:29 PM

I can vouch For Mike, i filmed him (its on the scoobycity DVD) showing how the pros do it, and no .. he dosent need the handbrake !!!!

EddScott 07 October 2005 03:34 PM

So go on then, with winter approaching and a supermarket car park covered in snow, hows it done?

Sorry if everyone and his granny knows how to do it but it was missed from my driving test :)

Markus 07 October 2005 03:37 PM

Snow? Pah, just find an area of tarmac, put a bit off deisel down and away you god. Not that I know, or condone this of course ;)

jasonius 07 October 2005 03:38 PM

Presumably (sp?) then, as all wheels are spining, the diffs should be fine..?

It is a piece of cake to do that no tricks involved and no handbrake needed, it is easy on grass and snow but wet tarmac is just as easy to do it on.

dibbleyuk 07 October 2005 04:35 PM

thats easy i can do it in my impreza sport!

Paulo P 07 October 2005 04:41 PM

stilover 07 October 2005 09:54 PM

Skill level??????????? 0, it's in the wet !!! Petter will be ****ting himself.

Colin McRea did it years ago in a Legacy WRC, IN THE DRY while waving out of the window. That was cool. The guy in the STi......... uncool.
People see that and we all get branded arseholes.

Try in in a snowy car park with plent of space first. That's what I did with my Gtir. It started understeering first then eventually started spinning on the spot :D I have no skill and only 246bhp :p It did seem to kill my ****e tyres tho.

Gtir is 50/50 split too ;)

little'un 08 October 2005 05:27 PM

Thanks :) That's what a genuine group A exhaust sounds like ;) No cats and more importantly not one silencer :D
