The torque split in skylines is electronically controlled, instead of mechanical, thats why you see them still accelarating into turns after everyone else brakes, because the computer monitors tire slip and modifies the torque to front and rear so the car can go into turns at much greater speeds. 92 DSMs (eclipse, talon, laser, vr4 galant, and early vr4 3000gts) are pretty much just thrown together with the intention of being ripped apart for racing. Mitsubishi knew people would use them for that purpose so they didnt waste money mass producing systems that would be tempered with anyway. Go to www.dsm.org if you wanna find out more on just how thrown together these cars are with a rockhard 2.0L turbo 4g63 engine (same as used in the evos except inverted). All it was was i think some electrical and a matter or ripping off the front diff. He has AC and full interior cause thats the class he races is. Those things are required and all other modifications are unlimited.

I know about the ATTESSA but have never worked on it, but am wary of magazine articles that claim that something is so easy, because most of the time those things are not.
What is the initial split on the DSM's AWD? IIRC it's mechanical similar to the viscous coupling in the Subarus and the Realtime in the CR-V, but how would all of the power go to the rear by removing front differential unless there's some sort of center locker or something (becuase otherwise te motor would try to turn wheels that aren't connected).
