Sidewards action with DCCD


For us owners lucky enough to have dccd fitted you must know what I am talking about I will never have the same opinion of roundabouts ever again, especially in the wet! I even find myself taking note of good one's when in other cars and go back in the scoob I have driven other cars with rear wheel drive and they are good but not this good! Having a lending hand from the front wheels is bliss it makes power slides very easy.

I'll never forget the first time I was brave enough to use the cars potential and see what all this dccd millarkie was all about.

All I can say is wow! So controlable and great fun, yes the car will break to the side but it is so easy to correct it makes you laugh! I remember playing with a sierra xr4I years ago and it reminded me so much of that but with the abilty to pull yourself out of severve tank slapper moment.

Before I get flamed for my part time driving style please be aware that I chose a large empty carpark to first find out the characteristics of the car and only give it a sidewards squirt on empty roads with no pedestrians! Honest.

I can see how people can get caught out very easily with dccd my friend nearly put my type r through some armco when coming round a bend to quick, he had a uk99 and drove the bend as he would in his...... Big mistake, I was telling him to slow down and even wanted to flick the diff up a notch but as the back end started to twitch he went a nice shade of white and slowed down rapidly, we rolled into a layby and I gave him the biggest dead leg of his life. I drove him home with my friends heart coming through his chest!
He has since sold his scoob and is saving for his type R!!


DCCD ROCKS!!!

i tried altering mine on track in the wet but didn't seem to make any difference on corners, understeer nearly all the time(read: all over the place), admittedly on 'ditchfinder' tyres and a different set up to what i have now
