BTW, if you don't want to be there forever, adjust the camber before you adjust the toe.

Cusco makes a 35/65 center diff for the EVO. I've seen it and held that beauty in my hands. Expect to pay upwards of $3500 for it plus some install work.

Alternatively you could get a spool or weld the center diff up to have constant 50/50 split. Watch out for those corners, though!

Would that be Fast in Dead out?

Or Fast in Stupid out?

I must admit I was impressed with his driving skill and the balance of the car up until the point of impact. I do, however, think that was not the aproptiate place to display said skill. He put other cars and drivers at risk.

As far as powertrain options I haven't seen anything to give the car a rearward bias.

That is what I did with some Volk CE-28's and its great!

He was really going quite well... right up to the point of crashing.... anyway, at least he had the *****, I suppose, but i think he should do it somewhere else.
