Traction Control

[DavoWA]

Sedan comes with LSD AND traction control. Even in the wet with t/c off my sucker is hard pushed to light up if the road is normal. Damn good tyres, but for how long? I confess to not having tried REALLY hard.

Just to share a little story with you all, My sister and I were driving home *playing* she has a Supra, and it was dry so I had the traction control OFF then about half way home it started to rain so we stopped playing and just drove sensibly, but I forgot to switch T/C back on. Came round a corner in the wet and just drove as I normally would with t/c on, but got all crossed up almost took out a pole. So learnt my lesson, the thing is too damn heavy to risk it in the wet weather. So for me traction is of for playing, then STRAIGHT BACK ON now.

Iwonder if it's just a matter of getting it turned on in my XR6na?

I noticed all the wiring is there for the switch when I had the alarm fitted the other day.

I also would love to know, why isn't it an option for non-turbos?

The wiring is probably there but there are 4 sensors for T/C - ABS combo and only 3 for the non T/C cars. I'm sure you could retro fit it but the cost...who knows.

IMO. It isn't an option in the BA series 1 to give the turbo some extra features above N/A and probably also to make it a "safe" and powerful car. Don't be surprised if it becomes an option or even standard in later series.
