I haven't figured it out yet, but my clutch type differential, set to 40% works better than 80%, as it came from the manufacturer.

If I can't control the under-steer in autox's with 40% then maybe it's time for a torque type?

What is your experience?

I first heard this in a conversation with Greg Fordahl .....more than a year before I bought one. I tried to buy one from him, it didn't work out......but I didn't forget.

Sure enough, on sweepers there it was and as Brant said, it took some getting used to. You really don't notice it in the tight stuff cases "things" are happening too quick (for me at least). The car is set up for oversteer on hard turn ins (with a bit of trail braking for the 180 cones jobbies) and it is loose in slaloms.....and I have the loops to prove it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Therein lies another advantage. The car responds to spring/sway bar/tire pressures adjustments in the classic way. One of the first things that Evo School teaches is to avoid heroic driving measures. It's too hard to pull them off consistently.
