Hey guys just wondering what situations you would use the synchro button. Snow you would use in slippry conditions like alot of rain. Would it be bad using awd mode just normal driving.

just for snow or mud and maybe very heavy wet wether driving.......I do a bit a gravel driving every now and again and just leave it in normal mode and the car feels really well balanced.

I also found that if I used the sync mode at high speed in wet wether driving it got terminal understeer through the twisties.......bad enough to even scare me!

No need to leave it on for normal driving conditions the 4WD system in these cars works everything out for you.

if im doing some 'spirited' driving, I turn it on at lights in rain, just to try and cut as much wheel spin as possible,, once I hit 2nd it goes off as jetwreck said the AWD seems to work itself out and if on at speed you get freaky understeer.

but I have to dissagree with jetwreck on gravel, it does work well off if you drive sedate, but if its your local road or somthing I turn it on as you naturally drive a little quicker and where I drive the back has a habit of sliding out which gets a little hairy, so I have it on.

also snow driving=fun in these, gave it a go this season and will be going back next year in the stag,

I only ever use it when I get too much wheel spin before ATTESSA kicks in... EG, very low speed, muddy/wet/slippery uneven surfaces at low speed... Like my driveway.

Apart from that, I NEVER use it, and it is not designed to be used in any other way, it is an oh shit button, not a f/t AWD button for spirited driving runs- it turns off at speed anyway!

synchro sorts the attezza to have a full time 50/50 torque split. as our cars are RWD until G sensors kick in, or break traction

the snow function messes with your rev's and doesnt allow you to accelerate hard so you dont break traction on the snow!

snow mode limits boost in an M35 also, probably makes the throttle less resposive etc. ive never used it. ohh thats right i cant, i have an economy/low boost mode instead of snow mode thanks to nismo awesomeness lol

    • Yeap, not as doorty as ITB's, but alot more doorty than before, induction sound great when I'm up it 🤗
    • Any difference in induction noise?
    • If I got a dollar for every flipped commuter missile I've driven past I'd have two dollars   Some people get into wild adventures on the road and I doubt it's gender or ethnicity specific. I'm just glad I don't usually drive during peak times.
    • Just got the car back and gave it a good run back home Power wise, whilst it only made a extra 5 killerwasps up top at 7200 rpm, it made more power everywhere from 2500 rpm and kept pulling much harder all the way, to the point of me relearning when to shift so I don't hit the 7200 limiter, with the old intake it seemed to take alot more time to rev out, and, throttle response is also much improved  As I didn't want to remove the bumper every time I serviced the air filter (basically every aftermarket and fabricated CAI has the filter behind the bumper) it currently has a hektic exposed pod in the engine bay sucking in hot air, this will be rectified shortly after some some of my CAD (cardboard assisted design) for a alloy heat shield feed by the OEM intake tube behind the bumper, this will cop some wrinkle black paint, as well as the intake pipe for that totally OEM look... The only fly in the ointment was that the OEM "strut" brace doesn't fit over the rear runner of the new intake with the 2.5 engine is in the engine bay, as the 2.5 raises the engine up by 20mm, it's not a war stopper, and I didn't notice any difference without it in some twisties, but....... MX5 Mania is bringing in some GWR "fancy pants" braces that apparently do fit, if it bolts up I'll grab it, it is also stiffer than the OEM one, which is a bonus All in all I'm happy with the outcome      Fancy pants "strut" brace that gives the required clearance      This is where the clearance issue was, the GWR extends out past this
