TRE Max-Lock Rear Diff Demonstration

There are a lot of reviews out there when it comes to rear diff options for the Evo 9. Instead of describing what the TRE rear diff is i decided to show you guys how the Rear Diff is.

Here is a quick video i put together of the TRE 12 way Max Lock Rear Diff in action on the Autocross track.

Would have been to see the difference record at the same track before and after.

Car looks and sounds great.

Yeah that would have been ideal... but here they never make autocross courses the same. Each one is always different.

Thats some awesome footage showcasing what it can do. WOT on exit looks like a blast to drive. Thank you for this. Hmm... early christmas present? hehe.

I want, I dislike that I cannot get the rear out on through some exits.

Sooooo good.

Man, I love how the rear end comes around. Those punks at Mitsubishi shouldn't have taken it out for the USDM!



Looking forward to getting this in my IX for sure.

Yeah I definitely said the same thing. The one where the rear drifted big time was the first time i punched it on exit. I was astonished at how it really helped. To me its actually really easy to control with the gas and you can really get on the throttle a lot earlier in the turns. Best mod IMO

So your saying it does help it drift or help traction while drifting?

The rear diff helps induce oversteer so that you can get on the gas earlier and exit the corner at a higher speed. You can control the angle of the oversteer by the amount of throttle. Given the correct amount of throttle you can step the back end out enough to where you using the cars momentum to pull you through the turn. Traction is a funny word to use in this scenario because its more momentum. Your using the cars weight and power to steer the car

Ok I see. Sounds like this is what I need to do some playing But it is hard not to get mine to step out right now and I could not imagine what it would be like with this One question though, does it make any noise over stock?

Some people say its slightly louder then stock. Personally i really couldnt tell any difference. Mainly because my exhaust is so loud and with all the noise my car makes any way with the stiff suspension and twin disk clutch i never really cared So i might not be the best to answer that, ive heard from others though that it is slightly louder.
