Hey guys. I was just wondering how many people with ACD equipped vehicles actually switch the ACD to gravel mode when it is wet out? The directions state that you should use gravel mode in gravel (duhh) as well as when you are driving on wet roads. Anyone actually do this? Or do you normally keep it on tarmac even in the rain? Also how does the vehicle handle differently in gravel mode in the rain compared to tarmac mode in the rain? Thx.

I always switch to gravel in the rain, but I don't notice a difference. The ACD kicks in while turning, and I don't do much high-speed maneuvering in the rain on public roads, so I don't think I benefit from it at all.

 

I do all the time,

 

man i wish i had ACD i feel like i am missing out on something ( no joke). Stupid mitsu putting it on 05+ evos

 

i switch to gravel mode when its raining. dont feel a difference. but probably with hard braking it would help out .

 

I have the ACD but my EVO doesn't see rain

 

sounds like you need to upgrade to an evo 9

 

tarmac 90% of the time no difference noticed yet

 

yeah but i just got this evo 8 like 6 months ago...but that would be awesome.

 

i can tell the difference only in very heavy, puddling rain, i use snow in snow too!

 

I don't think that ACD button on my car has been touched since the salesman showed me it when I picked up the car. Of course I make it a point to explain how absolutely crucial it is to performance whenever somebody I know takes a ride in my car for the first time.

 

i use my gravel 50% and my tarmac 50%. it just depends on my mood that day . i haven't noticed any diff. but its sure fun in the dirt

 

I switch modes when the conditions call for it. But similar to Warrtalon, I don't drive like Schumacher on public roads, nor any where else for that matter, I just got finished the brake in period for my new toy!

 

I use it in the rain. I used it in the gravel.....and I spun out. I actually have a video from in the car when this happened. Its dark, and grainy. But you can hear my girlfriend whining about hitting her head on the window.

Anyone care to host it??

 

Same here

Use gravel in the rain, but like MANY others have said, don't feel the difference.
