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

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

sonic93

iTrader: (16)

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.

craigo

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 ?

chrispy200+

iTrader: (2)

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

99greenwagon

iTrader: (39)

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

Steve777

iTrader: (8)

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

craigo

iTrader: (1)

no question

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

alanbell

iTrader: (6)

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

99greenwagon

iTrader: (39)

does it actually move in the wet?

chrispy200+

iTrader: (2)

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

alanbell

iTrader: (6)

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

d87dav

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!!!!!
