I think i just left deposits in my pants lol i never realised how lairy my car was in wet since it been mapped . On a41 today doing about 45 put foot down and backend went big time . Any other type r owners find this in wet?
Im running 380 bhp with prada spec 2 s so prob not best tyre in wet lol

 

find mine the same in wet weather
Love 4wd drifting
can quite easily get caught out if your not careful so practice makes perfect

 

Ive got a sti type ra and i find the same thing, the back end steps out easy in the wet!

 

Had exactly the same in the first week of owning mine, 385lb/ft and not used to it meant sideways in a straight line, now since adjusted driving style

 

Had falken 452 on my type r and use to grip like hell in the wet in my type r (and I use to give it some)

 

brilliant, this thread will get some comments

ummmm can i ask what tyres and all in good shape? its a must !!

me personally, ive driven scoobs for 12 years, last 3 years P1 and couple of type R. ummm... I ve have had to raise my driving ability no question

prada, i see now......

 

ummm also 4 wheel alignment/cambers needs to be spot on mate

 

type r + sports tyres + wet road =


one of my old type r used to behave like this in the dry when fitted with avon zz3 - avoid these

 

wind the dccd a notch or 2 in the wet helps if you want to keep the back end in shape with a bit heavy throttle, i on the other hand coming from driving a lot of rear wheel drive cars prefer to keep the diff in open lol

Would you prefer understeer ?

 

yea wasn t ready for it i never thought at 45 in straight line would kick rear end out . would be fun but scared of bending it lol. pradas aint best in wet lol but in dry very good.scared me more than my skyline in wet lol

 

no i wouldnt lol oversteer more fun spose lol

 

380 is a big figure in a classic mate.....

 

umm sonic, how do i get my sti type r logo up like yours there ?

 

in your edit options at bottom mate.

yea it is alot of fun to lol apart from in wet.

 

It's just in the settings, same place as you got the wrx bit from

 

i also try to take it easy in the wet,and thats with less bhp than 380 odd,seems pretty damn good in the dry tho.

 

been wondering how to sort that for a while thanks

im running toyo proxes, they seem sure footed in the wet. anyone been running these in the past ?

 

Had the proxes t1-r on mine with plenty of tread and found they let go fairly easily in the wet but I think with 385 lb/ft of torque it was going to happen no matter what was on it

 

im surprised it dosent do it in the dry with that power in a type r.

 

Yep mine does it as well. Toyo's here too. I usually put a couple of clicks forward on the DCCD when its a bit wet which helps a bit. Just have to get used to it and improve your throttle control

 

no question

how did you find playing with the dccd help you along ?

 

How will mine do with over 550 of each but it is a stripped out track car

 

does it actually move in the wet?

 

It did make a difference playing around with the dccd although I did like the tail happy driving, I've since gone 6 speed without dccd and hopefully more than 400 lb/ft

 

Ive a hawkeye 6 speed in mine with dccd, Ive never driven a car with dccd , so should be fun to say the least

 

the **** end of my type r is always kickin out,thats the joy of having a type r,totally differnt drive to a standard 4 wheel drive subaru,
if it gets scary flick the dccd switch up a couple of notches and that should square her up.practice wont make it perfect but it helps lol

 

Took mine for a blast yesterday after the battery went flat for not driving it for over 2 weeks due to being in the states where i had to endure a 3.0l V6 dodge Auto on the wrong side of the road, lol, I must remember to get it in a straight line before planting my foot to the floor, Its not just Type-R`s you know

 

So many owners have found out too late that these cars can bite you in both the wet and dry!!!!!

 

Was after one of those as much prefer the dccd boxes, just a bit too much money at the moment
