Iputs more torque to front wheels, not sure of %age, but more than 50

Can't be more than 50%, ATTESSA hydraulic pump locks up the clucthes to the front wheels, rear wheels are always solidly connected. So at max pressure best is 50/50.

Try it on wet grass. When turned off Stagea spins rear wheels for a bit and then feeds some torque to the front wheels and drives off. When turned on, it just drives off straight away, no waiting.

Very handy as the rear doesn't step out in the snow and ice. Not much use to me, no snow and ice in Sydney. Could be handy in the pits with the trailer on the back when it's wet though. The old Foulcan used to sit there spinning it's one rear wheel. Had to get towed to the sealed pit road once at Bathurst, very embarassing.

Just one more reason for choosing a Stagea

so this is a good feature to have when chopping holden utes at the traffic lights in the rain?

:D

Hahahaha, good one SK, I can see it now, the old Foulcan smoking up one tyre in the pits and everyone looking thinking 'What the hell is he doing !!'...

Anyway, I just found this out last night as I was reading through heaps of Jap stuff on Stagea's.

With the button pressed in, the torque is 50/50 up to 20km/h. After 20km/h it sits at 80/20 (80% rear and 20% front) unless the front requires more, then it can vary up to 50/50.

Very interesting hay... You can see they were designed mainly for snow use (and would be great for pulling a boat out of the water at the boat ramp), and probably explains why you don't feel a big difference when driving normally with the button in.

jay do you know the addresses of the japanese sites you were looking at?

i searched google japan and yahoo japan and all the sites i keep finding are all the same stuff just the specs some pics of the guy/girls cars and mods etc...

looking for more interesting stuff like what you just posted

[PranK]

Sweet, thanks guys.

Hey, for all this stuff, we definately need to start a Stagea FAQ's thread!!

[Jay95R33]

jay do you know the addresses of the japanese sites you were looking at?

I actually got the link from Rezz's post on the thread you started The first link, but it was in a link in that link - if that makes sense !!!

Here's the first link;

http://homepage2.nifty.com/WGNC34/tuningdatetop.htm

You have to click on 'INDEX' for it to bring down a list of other links.

That particular info is the third link down in that link - here's the link;

http://homepage2.nifty.com/WGNC34/tuningdouryoku.htm

To read it you have to put it into a translator (bablefish won't work for some reason....). I use this translator http://www.systransoft.com/ after a while you have to register, but it's free.

Then in some sort of Japglish you can make this out at the bottom of the page;

"You handle for the reference and there is this kind of statement in the instruction manual.

At the time (usually time) of synchronizer mode OFF basis: 0: 100 MAX50: Variable control up to 50

At the time of synchronizer mode ON below (when departing) vehicle speed 20 km... 50: 50 fixing

Above (when travelling) vehicle speed 20 km... basis 20: 80 MAX50: Variable control up to 50."

;)

Mate he was soooooo far behind, I leasurely changed lanes and drove along at the speed limit. Still took him a K or so to catch up. Subaru Forresters are also fun, they keep looking in the rear view mirror wondering why this strange waggon is keeping up. KEEPING UP, huh I was looking for room to go around. And then there was 4 guys in 2 WRX's that got whiplash when I went in between them in a roll on at the lights.

I have been having so much fun.
