The normal traction control is rubbish.

Upgrade to a RLTC and you can dial the amount of traction you need for the weather/road.

If wet, set it to full, if dry then turn it down for more power.

And drive carefully ;)

The turbo Supra has traction control, the non-turbo does not.
The facelift cars have a much better traction control system.
Racelogic make an advanced traction control that is far better than the stock Toyota one. It uses the ABS wheel-speed sensors. Some non-turbo cars do not have ABS, so you have to fit optional speed-sensors from Racelogic.

The stock TCS on the earlier MKIV is really shitty.
Better tyres and adapt the speed is the best secret with such a powerful car. The TCS engages just when you realise you're out of control, and then it's impossible to do anything about it, it's more like a : "now you're f*cked and you're going to crash" - heads up system. :)

I'm not crash.
This express way the road is very swerve.
My friend's IS250 was spin in near point last month.

does the mark IVs traction control actually switch off when you swicth it off, ive got a 94jdmTT, havint got it out of control as yet, no stranger to powerful rear wheel drive anyway, had them years , my s14a was around 300bhp and that was great,i could get that rear out no problem what so ever. the supras traction contol sounds anoying, thats why i havint even tryed to get the rear out yet.

I believe it does yes.

You can fit RLTC to any car, if you want to fit TC to a Supra, I wouldn't entertain the Toyota stock system, and would fit RLTC instead. If you have ABS you tap into the ABS circuit, if you don't you'll need the wheel speed sensors from Racelogic (as Carl0s said above)

Does the RLTC include a launch control? If not, is there a reccomendable product that does?
