hawkeye and DCCD...
ive got a hawkeye STI, this DCCD is confusing me alittle
i understand the name Driver Controlled Center Differential. but what does it actually do??
does it change the power from the front to the rear??
i mostly have mine in the fully back position because when its in auto it tends to knock and groan when turning sharply and going up my steep drive. it does not do this when fully back in green.
also does my car have any sort of traction control??

leave it in auto when driving on tarmac and let the computer do all the work for you (it is better and far quicker to respond to conditions than you are-traction control etc) when reversing and parking and similar put the handbrake on one click so that the handbrake light comes on the dash and the clunking and groaning will stop.

If you intend to run it in Manual Mode, i would recommend running it one or two clicks of the thumbwheel up from the bottom green setting for 'normal' road use, to stop the back end from getting too lively when pushed (unless you like it like that ) - Failing that, as already mentioned just run it in auto mode so that you don't have to think about it, and click the handbrake up one notch for low speed, full lock and parking manoeuvers(sp)

I take it by putting the handbrake up one notch, you're not actually doing enough to stretch the handbrake cable?
Can it be locked in a 50/50 front /rear position?

Yes, it can. Full forward till it clicks on the thumbwheel.

DCCD: The answer is in the title - it's a centre differential that you can change the amount of 'lock' or 'slip' on. You are not actually changing the torque split - it's a mechanical unit so it can't!

lol yes, you're right Tony (as per bloody usual ) I was thinking changing the power split. People sometimes ask how much power is sent to the front and back and can the % power split be changed.
