BOOSTED, Nice shots man. Sorry you haven't been getting due recognition for these...Myself, they make a strong case for the evo over the STi...I love this thing...in silver, or black...or one of those other colors. I think the cf wing rocks.

And Yeehaw! Despite all the skepticism, THERE IT IS!!! THE ACD!!!

oops...hit the wrong button again. But THERE IT IS!!! You can totally see that we got the ACD with the right and left selector switch to select the side to side adjustment and the front/back arrows for the front to back torque balancing...SWEET!!!

The undercarriage looks exceptionally clean and aerodynamic...thanks for the night vision shots...I do think they're cool.

NO WAY, there is the ACD, as MyCre8n=Evlshn put it well:

Based on some secret source info, you can switch your torque from 10-90% on one SIDE of the car to the other->Easy dounut

I'm sure he's joking around

Hmm, my explanation was that this button is to switch the ACD controls when you driving in the reverse, so the right wheels are getting the right signals?

they should put a mirror underneath the car to show the undercarriage, like in any real car show.

MyCre8n=Evlshn,

I am sorry to say ...YOU ARE SO FOOLISH!!!!
There is no ACD on the US EVO!

The rocker switch that you have taken a picture of is actually an adjustable brake bias switch. Say if you are in the middle of a rally race far far away from your pit crew. Come around a corner and bam a rock rips off your front wheel and control arm. Now every time you jack on the brakes the car swerves hard to one side. Ahhh...just reach over and dial in a little left or right bias and presto...stable braking! I have this on my 90 AWD and use it all the time. Just today I was on the freeway at 85 mph when my left rear Potenza went flat. Was I late for work??? Heck no just used the handy hat switch to dial in a little correction and made it to work in time to cook my poppy seed bagel.
