Triple Digits Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I seem to be able to kick the rear-end out pretty easily. Is it the RE92's or the way the AWD works in conjucntion with the LSRD or what? I'm not saying I've ever ended up heading the wrong direction, it always let's me reign it in - I'd just like to understand the why's and wherefores....

ih8vtec13 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 AWD cars can act like AWD FWD or RWD cars depending on the situation. I notice that I can kick out my rear pretty easily on my 5EAT but the car does slide predictably and usualy easy to regain control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Yea, Great isn't it. Got to love all that HP and cold pavement. With AP and MBC I have lots of extra HP. I have posted different examples on this site before. Be careful if you slip the clutch a bit and let the rev's go to about 3500 and then dump the clutch. Try it, it's awesome. When you get good at it then try it with the front wheels turned like your pulling out from a intersection. The car will power slide nicely.

mmm def Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Yeah the combination of RE92 with the rear LSD makes for some fun times, especially in the wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forestir Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 That's great news... this is one of life's great joys that I missed with my FWD cars (can only do lift throttle oversteer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ih8vtec13 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 The RE92's suck but they make snow driving interesting by turning the drive to the store into a drift course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKoan Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Yup, good old Subaru power-on oversteer. If your tail gets out, keep your foot on the gas, don't lift it (don't mash the gas either). The front wheels will take over and pull you out of most oversteers. It'll take a little getting used to, but it's a blast to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beanboy Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 One of the many great reasons I like the snow... I've been able to really practice the slow lift throttle situations, like getting on the gas, then a little off to get the fronts to bite, then way off to get the back to come around, and then back on with the wheels pointed in the direction I wanna go. Was able to get a few higher speed runs in where the front and back slide a little out of tune, then get in sync and away I go in the direction I want. Tough to teach myself to keep some gas on. I'm learning, and it is good. -B -B http://www.standardshift.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scans007 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 The RE92's suck but they make snow driving interesting by turning the drive to the store into a drift course. Hit the nail on the head with that one, I've been driv'n around in our 30+ inches of snow yank'n the e-brake to get around sharp corners and such........This thing drifts so well with the RE92's.....

deimos Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Yeah, just be careful with that. Mailboxes are closer than they appear.... Yeah no shit, sometimes depending on the road conditions its harder to control the drift so I try to only do it on wide streets, but still a bit of careful throttle application and the tail slides out nice and smooth and is easily brought in...wheee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaiser0929 Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Unless you drive an STi, your hand should never touch the e-brake in a Legacy or Impreza except when a) there's an emergency (shocking! ), or b) the car's parked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 Seriously, if you can flick the GT one way then the other, the tail will come around nicely, keeping your foot into the power, will keep you there BUT you will have to make small corrections if you dont want to lose it.

Unilat Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 It is.(bad to pull the ebrake) If you pull the parking brake, you will have the front side of the diff spinning significantly faster than the rear ( since the rear has been stopped ). The response of the diff is to tighten up and force torque to the rear, which "looks" like it has more traction. The fact that it can't would most likely overheat the coupling and could potentially cause a center diff failure. Two observations, based largely or completely on opinion: Doing this stunt now and again, and/or for short periodsof time probably won't cause problems (conjecture), though it is a bad habit to get into (fact). Why even use the parking brake, when the gas pedal will accomplish the same thing, only funnerer??! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
