well i think its just me... i took the car into a gravel sholder and the front wheels seemed to grab when i took off. soemthing with the car still just dosent seem right? the way it grips the road there seems to be alot of sway from the front. the sway bar looks to be intact front and rear and all of the mounts.

well i still havent goten the code reading i think that the engine light might be from a misfire which ive read and herd is common on the 2003 evos (still not sure yet)

but the car did feel like it was going to stall out when the light came on after the launch.

p0300 is the random cylinder misfire code that used to plague 03 evos.

by the way can you now peel out? if not try it

the reason i mentioned this is because if you remember the too fast to furious tokyo drift they made the EVO rear wheel drive for the drifting scenes

when I had my AWD SVX they had a regular fuse that you can pull out and make it front wheel drive, could this be the same for the EVO?

Try to find an electronic gremlin on a mechanical diff? Great one guys.

I would figure that if the center mechanical diff gave out, you'd have literally heard about it and wouldn't have to wonder if there was power going to the front wheels.

Oh, and for the love of God, don't continue to drive the car until you get it looked at!

Trying to drift a broken car? Who the hell would try to do that in their right mind?

Most of us who have low pressure on a tire call in reinforcements and the national guard, but in everyones expert opinion, you should just go ahead and test the car, by brutally beating the hell out of it.

Funny joke, but don't do that.
