Hey, what's fun to do with the DCCD?
I'm ready to play a bit with the STi. Anyone have any fun ideas to play with the DCCD? Suggestions on how to use it in varying situations etc? I mean, WTF good is it if I don't use it sometimes? Also, can you change it on the fly???
Comments?

well, now we get back into the whole torque split vs lock percent issue. it's true that the torque split is always 35/65, but opening the diff lets the rear wheels spin forever without trying to redistribute power to the front.
Check the manual should say never to change the DCCD on the fly, and only use the 50/50 split in the snow. I leave mine in auto seems to be the best setting, but you can have some fun with 35/65 lock.

one thing i enjoy about the auto mode is "trusting" the DCCD to do its job. being that i've sold these cars for a year and a half, the DCCD by far is the most fun i've had in an all-wheel-drive car.

I used the DCCD to fine tune the feel of my car last weekend running autocross. I was running on a tight technical track and experiencing some understeer so rolled the wheel back to the second to last (rear most) notch and let the oversteer begin.
