Is this really a dumb question?

Ok, this may sound like a dumb question to some of you, but i have personally asked about 20 people this question and no one can give me a for sure answer. I have never had an AWD car till now and do not know how the rear LSD is setup. When you want to do an ebrake pull, do you need to push in the clutch or can you keep it in gear. I just don't know if the rear is seprate so that they can stop spinning while the front keeps going. I just want to be able to kick the rear end out a little easier when doing "showoff" uturns. lol

Instead of yanking the e-brake, just punch the throttle and throw it out. Pulling the e-brake is going to mess stuff up.

you have an 04, you have the 50/50 fixed split diff. the 05's have a release in the diff that will unlock when the handbrake is pulled.

The true and proper textbook technique is to enter a turn a little bit faster than normal, pull the e-brake while simultaneously stepping in the clutch. When the rear begins to slide you'll want to begin to countersteer. During your countersteering, blip the throttle to rematch to revs again. Let the clutch out, keep on the gas, and return the steering to "straight ahead." You should be in the same gear the whole time from the moment you began turning the wheel.

So yes, step on the clutch when you pull the hand brake in a rwd or awd vehicle.

what you talking bout willis? this aint no honda. depending on which evo you have the when the ebrake is enganged the power is still comming to the front and can hurt your drivetrain. if you want to do a u turn to "show off" you roll in first to about 4 grand till your in good boost range punch it and rip the wheel and it will go. show me your text book
