Another n00b Question :)

OK, now I know the Sti's center diff. is disengaged when you pull the hand break and I was wondering if it is the same on the Evos. I have been looking into practicing 90 degree and 180 turns. I have seen others do this but I do not wish to put extra stress on the car and cause any problems due to stupidity lol.
Thanx Guys ! Sorry for being such a n00b.

He's right, but to answer your question, yes, the ACD on the Evo is disengaged when the parking brake is on.

2003 doesn't have an ACD and it will put extra stress on the differential

it is not disengaged when the ebrake is pulled because it is a mechanical diff
