driving with tc on in the dry and driving hard is the best way to brake sh*t , only use tc when it's wet or real light cruisin

I've always wondered this, why do you say that?

Brakes at full throttle is not good. More of an issue for those pansies in their sedans with their precious little CV’s though.

its pretty rare that I use traction control in the wet either, spins really easy in the wet, so more chance of popping something

[our06t]

yeh sudden start stops of high kw kills driveline and engine bits real fast

I use tc in the wet but I don't use throttle .only take the T out in the wet if swmbo or the kids need to get somewhere so it's steady as she goes,

Have you had your spark plugs gapped to .8mm?

[wados]

nah havent done spark plugs yet, whats the best thing to measure them with

Feeler guages mate.

Grab a set from your local auto shop, they cost a few bucks.

Pull the plugs out, clean them with some wet & dry if you've got some, put the feelers in and tap down the electrode until its a nice tight fit.

thanks rapid I will try the plugs over the weekend, bought a new fuel filter today and will do that tomorrow morning if it is neither than send it to the shop so someone can have look at it
