TUR-BO6 There's a thin line between a wild time and a flat line. Member 146 Member For: 16y 7d Gender: Male Location: Vic Nsw border. Posted 11/03/10 12:02 PM Share Posted 11/03/10 12:02 PM I turn t/c off when I start the car. the ba t/c doesnt work 2 good when the car's been modified anyway, usually turn's itself off once it starts spinning so id rather have it off. besides my right foot is my t/c....do I need to keep giving examples such as this witty young fella...drive within your limits this man (boosted xr) speaks the truth,if ya cant drive it dont buy it.

It's only violent when doing something which would result in a fair bit of wheel spin, and hard shifting in to second (270rwkw manual), so when I want to have fun it's easy to tun off.While I was doing advanced driver training the guy asked me to turn it on and go around the wet skid pan few laps and the car was still going sideways, he was surprised it allowed that much slip, I did have pretty f*cked tyres but still.Maybe tc needs to be tuned accordingly for higher powered cars, can't expect a tc software which was designed for a 200rwkw car to work well on something with twice the power.

I cant tell the difference if its on or notit doesnt feel like its doing anything to control traction at all, it flashes when I lose traction, but that's about all.... how is it supposed to work? it seams pretty useless to meI have a BFII XR6T, 6 speed manual, maybe its suits autos better?

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 10m 22d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 27/05/10 02:41 AM Share Posted 27/05/10 02:41 AM DSC and TC are linked on the BF> I.e you can have both on or off, but not seperatly.If you want to test DSC, do it on wet grass and see how well it keeps the car in a straight line.DSC is a real life saver and anyone who turns the DSC off in their car is stupid as it might save you life.

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 27/05/10 02:59 AM Share Posted 27/05/10 02:59 AM Easy way to test it is to hold a low gear at high rpm in a corner and just drop the throttle. And yes on wet grass. And have a spare diff ready.Guess whats holding up the release of the new V8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
