Ok then, it must be the foglights button.

 

post it up

 

It could be many different things. But as far as I have heard, isn't bringing the ACD here... Therefore why would they suddenly "Surprise" us with it?? Makes no sense..

 

Throw off the competition? The Impreza STI. Chances are if we're not getting ACD Subaru probably wounld not bring DCCD for the first year either. We'll see. I'm sure if suddenly decide to bring ACD and Subaru did not plan for DCCD nor 271hp their production would probably be delayed and that'll make them behind the game. I'm sure both manufacture are concerned with warrenty issues. These high tec not so reliable gizmos

 

they will last long but varies on driving style

if you gun it and take the gravel drove on the sidewalk with the other half on the pavement then it wont last for sure

but under normla driving condition it should have no problems at all i think if mitsu wanna suprise us they are taking the risk on the minority evo owner that'll abuse their car

 

I believe that button is the ACD switch....I think in the J-spec Evo's that was the ACD....plus Mitsubishi said that they were offering the ACD and AYC as an option down the road in the near future to boost sales.

 

The press has already had the first drive of the USDM Evo. It's a little late to be "throwing off the competition".

Simple enough, there isn't any ACD.

From what I've personally heard, it's not suffering from that, and actually may be more fun than the Evo VII with ACD/AYC.

ps. no, I'm not posting the pic, but if the dealers continue to leak embargo'ed information, it'll probably pop up sooner than later.

pps. a notoriously difficult to please, pain-in-the-*** old fart reporter said it's a blast to drive. What more do you want?

 

TBH, that's my impression looking at it, but I cannot be 100% sure. I just know for certain what it is not.

that button by the mirror is for the intercooler spray nozzels
its an over ride switch and i think mits suprized us all w/ xenon lights

 

Sorry, the intercooler spray button is by the hand brake.

 

This is what I was saying a week ago......a new system entirely, or a mechanical system which can acheive simular characteristics to the electronic ACD. Another thought is a variable tourque slit button which will change a rear bias 70/30 split to an equal 50/50 split simular to the older j spec 2 door WRX ....could someone also please explain to me clearly what a "1.5 way" LSD is (not the LSD part, but the 1.5 bit) thanx much

 

1.5 way refers to the way the LSD operates. A 1 way LSD would provide positive lock under acceleration only. A 2 way would provide positive lock under acceleration and deceleration. The 1.5 way is basically a 2 way LSD, but it provides more positive lock under acceleration than deceleration (it's more forgiving under braking) and is generally better for beginners.

Thanks for that KK it makes sense now I am used to the old friction plate diffs that you had to set pre-loads and friction breaking torques..when I used to rally in the UK....
On another subject I keep reading about fog lights on the evolution.....surely because of there proximity in the headlight cluster they would be driving lights...they seem to be too high to be fogs???

 

As I was saying earlier, ACD is about as half as simple as the AYC. It operates on only one set of clutches, it has a single hydraulic activator and it can go from fully locked (50:50) to fully opened (100 % on one of the sides - but no control of which one is going to be (just like an open diff, wherever is easier to go, or wherever wheels have less traction)). AYC has control of which side is going to be loaded, so it is much more complex than the ACD.

Now, if there was any thoughts of bringing a more complex AYC here as an option, that would mean that half as simple component should be more than ready right now. If the ACD is not ready as we speak here, we are not seeing AYC in a near future for sure!!

Regardless of anything else, my hopes are still on the ACD. Kind of last thing to give up here!

i have a idea for the mistery button rear wiper control. it will have a rear wiper
