    I guess you could remove 4 spark plug leads and 4 injector plugs….

    Is your DBW?  Is there something funky you could do with how it controls throttle body relative to the pedal?

    Yeah it is DBW Gary, nah don’t think anything will help, I soft pedalled it to the point of pulling 3rd gear at 1500, soon as it got to 2000 it just spun up all 4 and that was the end of anything resembling steering of directional control..

    Pretty sure my Michelin’s have seen their best days as there aren’t any square edges left on em, I was 14 seconds off the pace and was able to compare that to our last wet day a couple of years back where I was 5 seconds off the pace, difference being I was on my old All Terrains back then so they worked much better in the sludge..

    You think now you have more grip with the better tyres it did it, or just wear and tera given the use/abuse?

    Dunno Gary, I did a closer inspection and what I thought was Gear slop is mostly in the side gears and axles, the Noise/Harshness is there on Trailing throttle and on Drive but not at cruise… I’m stumped so it’s going to have to come out..

    New Suspect, the Viscous Coupling in the Transfer Case..

    I need to make a Tool to test it and if that’s it the engine doesn’t need to come out.. (gotta LOVE Google)

    Well that’s just frustrating…

    Figured out a “Gumby” test procedure I could do without the tool, not accurate but good enough to confirm if it’s locked up, it wasn’t so I thought did it unlock overnight after cooling down or as a result of yesterday’s test run or was it never locked up at all and the harshness is something else..

    Took it for another run to get it up to operating temps as the fluid coupler is temperature sensitive and no harshness/grumble so guessing it unlocked when it cooled down… HATE intermittent faults much prefer things to die totally then you install a new one and it’s sorted..

    Thanks Gary,

    It’s lot more planted, now I just need to figure out how to get the best from it, I give away a bit to the WRX guys in size and weight but should be able to make it up through power and acceleration, but at the moment I’;m the limiting factor, guess in my defense most of em have been doing this a lot longer and in cars that have been fully sorted for a long time now!
