Hi dave...
Whats this race logic traction control stuff hes on about? Does it actually work?
Well, only a w4nker would put "No w4nkers" on an ebay advert !
i like it, but he has priced it a bit high considering it\'s not a single.
it\'s on ebay for about the 5th time..... i wonder why?
Because he\'s a..... ( see my other post!)

If it work\'s the same as in other car\'s then yes its good - I rate it :mmmm After I have done all the other stuff to mine I will be getting it.
And what a nice thing to put in an advert!
A guy I know in Oldham sold this car about 2-3 months ago he bought it from checkpoint a while back.
So the guy selling it has not had it long and selling up already I wonder why as well, from what the previous owner said he got a nice sum of cash and an m3 as trade in for it.
I agree with check point it looked miles better before it was changed to how it looks now, but the guy had no choice but to change the kit after crashing the car driving back after buying it off check point (DOH) and he then thought get some traction control as he was scared of it:)
I have been in this car and used the race logic thing and the launch control is fun but power loss is noticible and was almost impossible to get the back end out, which annoyed me no end, I like the thrill of waiting for mine to twitch, but hey if you want steady easy control then its the way to go.
My feet are my traction control:)
I was just thinking of it for the strip :)
I like swingin too ;)

Yep, no point having launch control with no traction control (IMO)
Yes but is it not switchable?
It has these settings :
0% - Off
5% - Dry
100% - Wet / Ice
10% 15% etc
I dont have a unit myself so im trying to remember the settings :D
Just done a search for a piccie of the control box, hope this helps :

HI all
This is the old style controller, the new style controller has a LCD display which I must say looks nice and has more options.
When I tried the laucnh control, had throtle to the floor and the revs were rumbling at 4200rpm, the guy said just take your foot of the clutch as quick as you can, not used to doing that so it took a couple of goes for me to really not care and just let go, car was off and into second before I knew what had happened brought a smile to my face but then I thought no real skill involved in it, but when you have a run on a strip you want to get it right all the time so I can see the point.
The guy who had to raved about it in wet and dry, you would here a click from the back end when the traction was kicking in.
I too really like the swinging:)
Looks like an investment then...right next on the agenda...get the car running :p
He never told me he had crashed the car! And i never knew the guy i sold it to had sold it again!
This is the reason he changed the kit, I got the back bumper from him, one side was damaged had to rebuild it with fibreglass, front bumper was wrecked,
I got the mirrors as well as one side was damaged, just needed a little glassing and boggin and its fine.
I got your old rad as well, you had an alloy job in it, what make was it can you remember?
It was bent a little but still in good condition as I got it checked before fitting it.
So for 200 quid I got the rad mirrors and bumper, bargin:)
He spent way too much money on it to sell her, it looks lovley in the flesh and is a very nice car.
Mine has been done on a budget I am a skinflint.
Cheers
Thought that was your old car. But did look like it had changed a lot since you had it.
Your new one is in a leauge of its own though! Can\'t wait to see it in zee flesh.
Seems like it was a pretty nasty crash, and it was on his way back after buying it! What a ball ache that must have been for the guy.
The guy i sold it to phoned me the night he returned home and complained about a knocking noise from the rear and we agreed a £100 discount to get it sorted! Sounds like more than a knocking noise! Cant believe i owned the car for nearly two years and never once bveen in a situation where i was ever close to properly loosing it. I went from 150hp front wheel drive to 380 rear! I must be a WIMP!
I woudl be gutted if that hapened to me, but after being in the car and chatting with the guy he raced anything and everything in site, his main goal was to show everyone how fast his car was, M3\'s scooby\'s he hated them and made it his goal to beat anyone with one an did with the help of that race logic controller.
When I drove it he kept telling me to floor it:( I\'m a driving instructor and cant afford to loose my job speeding.
Poor bloke, give any car that much all the time and you will come a cropper sooner or later.
Your no wimp just know to give these cars a little respect or they come and bite you hard which costs in the long run.
I went from an ITR 190fwd to my monster not quite 380rwd and only had a few mishaps seeing what she can do in 3 years.
I am happy I meet him I got a few bargins from him, mines almost done now and he wants me to take it round fo rhim ot have a look, I am dreading him saying lets have a go then:(
