Guest Turbo_Crazy Guests Posted 26/11/03 06:21 AM Share Posted 26/11/03 06:21 AM Does anyone know if there is a special trick to always have traction control off. At present when you turn the car off by default traction control will come on when you star it up again.Any help would be great. Oh by the way just got 3500Ks on the clock and the thing goes like a rocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want it completely disabled, you just want it to work in reverse so that when you start the car the traction is off and you can turn it on manually if you want.Do what I did and buy a ute! Us poor 2 door people don't even get the option of turning it on in the wet or when letting someone else have a spin. Did I say letting someone else have a spin, I must be nuts.
