kicking out an evo?

ive started to open the evo 2 up a little more as im getting used to what she can and cannot do...... :P

ive picked up a bad habbit of getting her to kick the back end out when pulling out of junctions from a standing start?

what problems mechanically would this cause my car if it becomes a regular occurance? is this reccomended and how often can i do it before i mess the car up?, great sideways fun but I dont want to start breaking things? and big ££££££££££££ bills

im presuming because of the torque split the back wheels have more oooomph than the front (think my subaru was 50/50 split)

sorry if this a daft question but just want to know from experienced people like yourselves..........

cheers

I've never experienced that though mate and i've hammered it out of junctions and it just grip's
like mad the only thing i've notice with the handling is the understeer.. :-)

Someone asked the question on the mlr a while back what power ratio the wheels were and they said 50/50
on there that's why i was a bit confused dude.. :muhaha:
