not put doen good driving but if you to learn how to use your ebrake you can turn just like him, watch the back tire when you get the inside view of him making that gnarly hairpin. The proper word for them actually are are cutting/ turning brakes, they will lock up which wheel you choose, they are very common on rally cars and sand rails. Yes I know he is a good driver and has a ton of suspension work. Not putting it or his driving down just pointing somehting I am sure most people missed.

All new suspension, 30/70 power split, FAR better brakes and tires and you should be able to do something like that. But not in your fat wagon
not to mention you're going to need to roughly triple your horsepower.

Think its constant 50/50 and the Haldex TT's constantly change from 90/10 to 50/50. Evos run like 40/60 and sti's can switch from 50/50 to either 30/70 or 40/60
It's only 1:1 if there is no difference between front and rear (no slip), but it can go up to 2:1 I believe. You can get a new Torsen center diff with a 7:1 ratio from Stasis. It's really not that bad of a price I think for the difference it makes in handling. ($550, but also a 550 core charge).

To make it simpler to understand. 1:1=50/50, 2:1=~66/33 (I think the stock Torsen is supposed to be 60/40), and 7:1=88/12.

Cyber, that picture in your sig...is that with the sway bar or without? That's a lot of body roll already and if you remove the sway bar you're going to be getting more. To me that's way too much body roll in that picture and without the sway bar you're probably going to lose traction as well and probably lift the inside tire. It may be fun but I would only do it for autocrossing or something and NOT on the street or a full track.

Ok,
why do you think it behaves this way?
My best guess is removing the sway, causes more body roll to the outside tire, putting more weight onto that outside tire, causing it to grip better than before.
Can you notice more body roll? Any other handling changes noticeable?
Could there be any negative effects from doing this, increased tire wear, more wear on the suspension, etc.......

It sounds like it might be worth a try, the car does understeer horribly. (at least if you are going fast enough!)
