Hey gang,

I have been breaking in my new STI and noticed an odd situation last night. At 60-70mph or so in 5th or 6th gear I notice a sort of torque steer when I get on and off the gas pedal. This is very evident if your going through turns when you lift and tip in the throttle again. Now, revs are between 3 and 4k and I am not driving the car hard at all but its odd when your driving into a corner at 65mph and lift the throttle at the apex and the rear seems to scoot out just alittle. Tires are 36/32 and I will try again today along the same stretch with different pressures.

DCCD was in auto mode at the time. I tried dialing down in steps to the 35/65 ratio and it did seem to make a positive difference. In other words there was less of that tail out feeling when you lifted the throttle mid corner.

Is this normal center diff action?

Thanks,

Dave

 

this is normal and was discussed a long loong time ago.

 

Thanks,

I tried to search for the topic. Do you have the link? or what search terms to use? What was the general idea of the cause? Is it the center diff?
