well i know for a fact that the Subaru WRC car has an electronically controlled center diff that unlocks the rear as soon as the E-brake handle is pulled, as far as the hydraulics go you are totally correct. Hydraulics offer 3000 psi of pressure where with mechanical linkages you will maybe see 700-1000 psi of brake pressure. Personally i don't want RWD, if i wanted RWD i'd get a corvette then you get the best of everything for the money. I love my car the way it is.

yup... hand brake + AWD = BAD!!!
try these:
Kansei Drift- this is performed at race speeds, when entering a high speed corner a driver lifts his foot off the throttle to induce a mild over steer and then balances the drift through steering and throttle motions. (note the car that is being used for this style of drift should be a neutral balanced car therefore the over steer will induce itself, if the car plows through any turn this technique will not work)
Braking drift- this is performed by trail braking into a corner, then loss of grip is obtained and then balance through steering and throttle motions. (note this is mainly for medium to low speed corners)
Faint Drift- this is performed by rocking the car towards the outside of a turn and then using the rebound of grip to throw the car into the normal cornering direction. (note this is heavy rally racing technique used to change vehicle attitudes during cornering, mainly tight mountain corners)
Clutch Kick- this is performed by depressing the clutch pedal on approach or during a mild drift, then pop the clutch to give a sudden jolt through the driveline to upset rear traction.
Shift Lock- this is performed by letting the revs drop on downshift into a corner and then releasing the clutch to put stress on the driveline to slow the rear tires inducing over steer. (this is like pulling the E-brake through a turn - note this should be performed in the wet to minimize damage to the driveline etc)
Dirt Drop Drift- this is performed by dropping the rear tires off the road into the dirt to maintain or gain drift angle without losing power or speed and to set up for the next turn. (note this technique is very useful for low horsepower cars)
Jump Drift- in this technique the rear tire on the inside of a turn or apex is bounced over a curb to lose traction resulting in over steer.
Swaying Drift- this is a slow side-to-side faint like drift where the rear end sways back and forth down a strait.
Power Over- this performed when entering a corner and using full throttle to produce heavy oversteer (tail slide) through the turn. (note need horsepower to make this happen)
I gotta ask... graham do you drift?

Both from www.tas.uk.com. I have the top one rigged to the stock handbrake lever in my Celica. It works fine with the VC center diff (same as on Imprezas) as long as you only use it briefly.
As for "drifting" I'll keep my mouth shut.
