I never had a need to use it yet when racing!
I usually just turn, and accelerate to get the back end to come out. OR JUST BOUNCE OFF THE SNOW BANK! haha
dunno if I wanna risk it, I guess thats why I never even think of using it.

Hey claudius, thanks for the info, but is it really easier to drift the viscous diffs than the acd and ayc diffs? Wouldnt having a rear wheel bias make it easier to carry the car (i.e. rear end) through the corner? just wondering... cause I just LOVE doing that, but I've only done that with RWD cars (i just bought a G35 coupe to do that in).

Maybe I'm missing something here, but short of a 70's Duckhams Q commercial why on earth would one want to hang the tail out to that degree - that's the slow way around a corner.
Surely the point is the quickest way through a turn ?

Hi evolover
The best way to make your Evo drift is with a 1.5 or 2 way front diff and no AYC or ACD. The front diff will help especially at speed below 50 mph (hairpin and 2nd gear corners).
If you really want to be sideways as much as possible, get the Cusco 35/65 center diff (if it's available for the Evo 8). That puts 65% of the power to the rear wheels 
You can also change the geometry settings or increase rear tire pressure.
Having a slightly loose rear end (talking about a car here
) is a lot of fun; drifting with lots of angle needs some getting used to, especially with AWD, but it's slower than driving just on or slightly over the rear grip limit. But it's a lot of fun!

Thanks for the reply Claudius! My only question now is : isnt the tarmac setting 30:70? the gravel at 50:50 and the snow 70:30? thats why I always thought the acd would allow more oversteer. And I too havent driven both back to back, so this is all anecdotal heresay here...
And BTW, could you swap that Cusco 35/65 center diff for the one in the evo 8? Or is it just too difficult with the electronics?

Old thread, I know-but I just got done doing some donuts yesterday. I found that the open differential in the front helps twist the car around. Not good for the driveline I assume, but its fun. Drifting would necessitate 4 wheels breaking loose, so I dunno....gonna try it when I get a bit more power, and some #### tires to make it easier. G-Force KDWS'
