MONKEYmark Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 john how does it drive round town, with mine fitted it was not that bad. before on stock stall it used to hold itself on hills now you have to give it a bit of gas to get it going forward its not bad like i have read about town. cant wait to drive mine again, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude:flame Dev Grip levels are poor anyway. What dial settings were you using? Looks like we need to develop some dat settings to tame that for you.

dude Posted February 1, 2004 Author Share Posted February 1, 2004 Termmy dude Its a waste of time at the moment trying to put power down in 1st gear , the RL is cutting in all the time as the moment you touch the throttle the car is making boost !!!!!! Im gonna go and find some of that 'suregrip' they put down at junctions and practise a few launches later on Dude:flame Dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Does it affect the kickdown John? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezabloke Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 What increments can you get the converters in John.........3K 4K etc...... Also as Matt said on kickdown i pressume ur on medium boost straight away? Any fitted prices yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 i found it useless with all traction turned off. would just light up the tyres which is no good. at drag strip with rltc on 10 or 20% seemed to be best for me. my dat file is still the same one that came from racelogic. if i was getting another tc i would go with 4k stall its not as bad as people make out for street driving. also have never tried holding car on handbrake "e braking" if you hold it on power braking at too high revs you get that wheel hop. think the handbrake might help with that and launch better. but will be hard on the gearbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also as Matt said on kickdown i pressume ur on medium boost straight away? Any fitted prices yet? i have seen them from 3200 to 4000 stall speeds. you can get bigger but not sure if they for supra, can you imagine how long box will last with a 5k stall speed. you can nearly launch on full boost, if you can get traction you should fly. would think with dragradials should help loads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
