New to AWD (05' MR), Advice/Links for learning the efficient way to maximize my AWD

This is my first AWD vehicle, I just purchased a 2005 Evo MR. I came from a fixed up 99' GS-T Eclipse, front wheel drive of course.

I could do as much as possible in that car with the E-brake, mild drifting as much as possible with FWD anyway, but i have heard trick driving in AWD is a great way to **** up your car.

Is there any good links that show you what tricks, and driving style you can pull off with an AWD not to mention the 05' beast, opinions, knowledge, links, or advice is greatly appreciated.

Dan

As you keep your AWD waxed, it will treat you well.

the point of AWD is not to do any tricks, even yanking the handbrake is wayyyyyyyyy less effective than in a FWD. it just goes, but as far as "tricks" you might have got the wrong car. the point of AWD is to go (in an evo it is GO.......... fast). it's "trick" is to do that and not much more. sorry to dissapoint. sure you can yank handbrake, but it wont react like your eclipse.
