In the Sticks in the snow ...
Not a lot of fun out there is it , I was one of the first out of our area this morning just after 5am:cuckoo: The Scoob held it's own with the diff lock full on, I would say the roads were even worse on the drive home this evening as there aren't many cars out at all , still managed to attract the d*ck that wanted to drive on my bumper:Whatever_ Sill, I managed it in one piece

I've been quite enjoying it :lol1:
Diff lock on to pull away and drive in a straight line, wind it back two clicks to turn a corner otherwise the front pushes wide :eek: My road is about an inch of ice covered with 3 inches of snow with a tricky downhill left turn with a give way sign, gets a bit exciting if a car has priority and I have to stop :D Loving the full boost 8000rpm/ 2mph rolling starts |
Been leaving home 4.30ish this week and not so much fun on a front wheel drive cmax lol a13 was certainly worse coming home today!

I've been using the Shogun :smug:

What's the diff lock? Do I have one lol, only had the car a week, know nothing! 2003 STI btw....

You've probably got a little jog wheel in the central bit by the mirror adjustment. Push it forward and the dial in the dash will say diff-lock, push it back and it will go green AND YOU WILL CRASH.
In the wet/dry you can have some good fun with it, in the snow pull away with diff locked but as all 4 wheels will be powered you wont be able to go round corners very easily as the front will push wide. Just wind it back a few notches and the wind it forward again for the straights. I just leave mine in automatic usually but a manual override is called for in the snow |
