LU82 Bronze Donating Members 569 Member For: 12y 1m 13d Posted 04/04/16 10:31 AM Share Posted 04/04/16 10:31 AM I can see it being less effective for the guys running manuals . I don't like having it on when I'm shifting the zf manually . When it's on and you get a bit out of shape it makes it hard to steer the car on the throttle.

Spin city. Flashes the light but doesn't do much else hahaha. If steering it's a different story though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold it flat and it has no chance, you do give it a beating dont you steve.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't try much harder to crash it. Almost sh*t my pants the first time he did it, but the little vw hauls it's own arse into line with grim determination does feel like it's about to disintegrate though Edited 05/04/16 07:26 AM by camo86T 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said above it doesnt just brake slipping wheels it also pulls timing (same as zf fart) At the drags on saturday I left it on after I did a half track burnout Still managed 2.0 60fters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
