Pig Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I would suggest RLTC. You choose how much TC you want and you will not be dissapointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave17 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I've never noticed much difference on mine tbh with it switched on or off? Its only ever cut in on me once going up hill full boost and going round a very sharp corner, even then it didnt do what i thought it would.

matt k Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Turn it off and use manual gear box to work out how it steps out/lights up and take it from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123tom123tom Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 :pI find if it is on I always loose power when setting off because of it kicking in and when it changes from 1st to 2nd also it kicks in and cuts the boost, so i always have it off. Just make sure you know how to get the car pointing forward again lol:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 auto with an LSD here and i leave mine off. The only difference with it on is in the rain or if your pulling away from a junction fairly fast, it kicks in and leaves you looking very silly while it limits the engine for a couple of seconds which feel more like hours when your sat in the middle of the road with everyone looking at you.

Yeh but he's got stabalisers aint he,LoL. I'am going to the Isle of Man at the end of the month with the supra and thought it might be interesting to try it with Tracky off,solid snakes going to in his supra so maybe let him test the water first;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir khan Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 personally i always drive with mine off, unless its weather where i know i wont need to accelerate too much, I find it holds back after the gear change from 1st to 2nd, driving with it off feels alot more quicker. As for when its on, it feels dangerous to me, as when it does slip out i use power to correct it or control it, but when it cuts the power your left with nothing to work with. I find it dangerous dont know if anyone else catches what im saying ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbloodyturbo Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Anyone mind if I start a book on which of these guys hits some diesel/suffers kickdown first? I might be alone in thinking this but if your going hard enough to loose the car after hitting a patch of diesel with the traction off, I really dont think having traction on is going to make to much difference as all it does is cut the power which most people will automatically do when it starts sliding about anyway.

Stevie72 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 No Diesel needed for me. The Supra being no spring chicken, requires a bit more respect than a Scooby, which has management and 4 wheel drive to keep you on the road. Put it this way, when it goes, it goes and no amount of skill will keep you on the road. Won't do it again and to be honest was suprised i did it this time. Rush of blood and trying to be berty big b....x and failed, wouln't have minded if it had been a Evo or GTR behind me but a Chav waggon of all cars - sure he was straight on the net to tell the tale!

carl0s Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Facelift trac/slip-cont is much better. When I had a UK car, I used to turn it off religiously, and I even started enquiring about a device which would switch it off for me every time the car started (didn't want to pull trac fuse). Now I have a Jap car, facelift, I find it much better. It kicks in pretty quickly, and although it robs a chunk of power, it doesn't rob *all* power like it did in the UK car. The most notable difference though is that it's much quicker to respond. I often get a little flicker of the slip light just to warn me, but don't feel any change to the power. It still won't help if I hoon it around a bend in the wet of course, but then I doubt anything would. The upshot is that in my UK car I used to turn it off, and in my facelift Jap car I leave it on.
