Further to the thread that I posted some months ago, I've finally got my RaceLogic traction control up and running on a Supra which doesn't have ABS. Hurrah!

I have to say I couldn't have done it without the help of many people from this forum and RaceLogic themselves.
I took me a while to weight up the various options and decide which was the best way to go, but I think I’ve got a solution that is neat and works. It hasn't cost me a fortune either (compared with RLTC on an ABS equipped car).
To fit the system I ended up replacing the front hubs for ABS equipped ones and using the propshaft speed sensor to run the RLTC in “three sensor mode” - all of this turned out to be fairly easy to do. The reasons why I chose to do it this way are fairly detailed, but I might try and write it down at some point if anyone is interested. I've got a few more photos to come back from the developers too.
I’ve got a bit more tweaking to do on the traction file, but my first impressions are that the system is excellent. In the dry you can power drift around roundabouts and in the wet it will stop you spinning to your doom! It is also allowing me to explore the handling of the car much more than I was previously confident to do. So thumbs up for RLTC!
