Dccd (1997 Ra)
hey guys, just picked up 1997 version 3 STi RA 2 days ago and im fiddling around with DCCD settings... can anyone give me some idea of what the actual splits are front/rear on the different settings..there are 4 + a lock setting
the DCCD indicator is in the middle of the tacho and speedo and is currently set to the green setting (which i found is nicest to drive around car parks etc as it doesnt clunk) there are 3 other orange settings and a lock setting. the logical thing to me seems the more you scroll up the little guagey thing, more drive is sent forwards? i did a search and heaps of threads popped up did some searching/sifting in those but none really gave me any specifics. any information greatly appreciated, the manual is in jap so no luck there cheers fellas EDIT: had it on the highest orange setting and slow turning close to full lock was like having a locker diff...whole end rear end of the car was skipping along behind hahah...think ill save that for the track!

green is "open"
red/lock is "locked" everything in between is on a scale, just because the orange light is on doesn't mean its exactly 75% etc, and just because a certain light is lit up doesn't mean its exactly the same setting you had it on last. basically the more you scroll it forward, the more the centre diff will bind. full rear is tailiest (35:65 split) full front is 4WD (50:50 lock)

I dont know that it gives you the % splits for each setting but explains how it works. Brendon

just don't lock it when your making tight turns in carparks or doing slow u-turns, it will make a horrible clunking sound as it winds up and will put all sorts off stress on your driveline, much like a 4wd withg the front diffs locks on tarmac
i lock my dccd up if its pissing down with rain as it takes away that 'taily' feeling you get with 65% rear drive (almost feels like no front drive at all) i also lock up the dccd in the dry for spirited driving, have a bit of a play with it, mine feels mad as i dial it up through long sweeping corners whilst applying the loud pedal, can actually feel the drive going more towards the front as it 'pulls' you through the corner nicely |

yeah havent had a good play with it with some spirited driving as of yet still getting familiar with it.... I can imagine it being great in the wet.
Is it best practise to stop and then change the settings? Or can you change on the fly with no damage?
