Try some runs with your current settings, then with the fuse removed; if you have a good feel for the car you'll notice the difference, it'll carry speed better in high angle situations, it'll feel good, and then you'll realise that with the fuse in place, it is applying the rear brakes with higher angle.
Thanks for your info, but nothing flashed on the car. I was also easily able to get full lock... this video was a clean run but I had plenty others of spinouts with full counter.

The point of my video was not for one to nitpick, rather to show that it is possible to get the car drifting with pedal dance only. I had minimal angle only because I spent many years on a Kaaz 2-way and am only recently getting back into drifting/motorsports, and the Torsen's open-diff characteristics is very annoying.

The only time I have been able to engage ice mode on the car is when I'm overly braking the car and accidentally tripping ice mode.
