I thoroughly enjoyed that, especially the old skool stuff. Takes me back to much more painful days. :)

Bike parkour? What happened to flatland or trial riding? Or is that not cool anymore?

Question. I have tried to handbrake turn before but it locks the front wheels aswell. Why is this so? I've driven a wrx and u can keep the fronts pulling with power and drag the rear with the hand brake on. Do we have a different centre diff that won't slip between front and rear diffs?

Only ever tried it once as I didn't want to do damage to anything. This clip shows him e brake and not lock the fronts.

Edit. Oh dayum that looks good in action. Very unsettled though. Needs a better suspension setup. Or is this just how they are when pushing hard with extra weight over an evo.

I was wondering the same thing! I've tried it once to and it locked all four up.. I'll have a closer look when my Leggy's in bits after my holiday :)

At a guess maybe his locked/welded up the gearbox to make it RWD ? ? ?
Ive seen a fair bit of the 7th gen awd Galants that people have locked/welded the gearbox to make it rwd, and im sure ive heard a few in New Zealand that have done it to their 8th Gen Galant/Legnum.

All you would need to do is remove the viscous coupler in the transfer case. Would want LSD front and rear diffs though.

Watched my Mechanic tune this the other day. He has gone turncoat on me and the Mitsubishis!!
What a beast! Not bad for a 38 degree dyno cell with 95% humidity, cant wait to see it with the new massive cooler and 35ish Psi :p, around 730Nm of torque too!

Insane speed through those corners and how it manages to get through those chicanes that quickly, I have no idea.
