:ponder:could be but alot of other auto makers that throw that traction controle on also have a switch that will shut it off without it comeing back on automatically. but im sure if anything happend it could creat a lawsuit..people sue for anything these days
|
it seems speed sensitive (as far as rearming)..my buddy has the tc2 and he brought it over the day he got it. we talked about disabling the traction controle but im affraid by somehow "spoofing" it or the part of the ecu that controles it would affect other things in the system. however i think the traction controle is its own modual..not sure..if so then it could prove to be easier than i thought.

That sounds JUST like the xB2. Same exact deal.
I do not think it would be wise to disable it due to liability reasons. I could see a lot of legal issues there. I road race on a race track, I don't care about liability reasons....LOL. Not that I'm going to buy a 2011 (with the talks of the FT-86 coming out in 2012), but "legal" issues? This is the F/I section. Once I drive it off the lot, I never return to the dealer. The only Legal issues I see is the Manufacture trying to tell me what I can and can't do with my own car. I voided the warranty on my 2006 3 months after buying it because I boosted it. |

True that. My 350z had a button to disable to Traction control and did not re-engage. If you turned the car off, and then restarted it, it would be back on of course. But a lot of the guys like myself (to prevent forgetting to hit the button when restarting), we just pulled the fuse in the engine bay. From a demographic point of view, I can see why Toyota probably wanted to re-engage the TC after 30mph. My 350z isn't exactly marketed towards youth, so you expect responsible adults to be driving a 350z when they came out. tC1 and tC2 on the other hand.... |
When I went to scion, the rep told me they took out special tC2's with no traction control for test runs on a track. Maybe their is a way to turn it off or maybe toyota will only allow that in show/special cars.

is traction control the same thing as ESC?
if so, heres an article from edmunds/inside line claiming to turn off ESC for higher slalom speeds, its around the middle of the article. http://www.insideline.com/scion/tc/2...and-video.html |

also note the weak-arse 16 second 1/4 mile times, and 8 second 0-60 times, lol |

^lol, true, what was the stock tc 1/4 mile times? auto/manual?
|
Magazines rate the 1st gen manual commonly at 15.6. Auto I forget, but slower than 16.2. Of course you usually can knock off a good .5sec off of a Magazines time to get the "real world" performance numbers for most cars they ever test.
I laugh every time I hear someone saying that these articles use professional drivers to test the cars, as if they always extract the best numbers out of them. These are Automotive Journalist that test them...emphasis is on the Journalist. |

^^Yet some claim you can't break 180whp with bolt-ons. 162whp on PTuning's dyno is 180+whp on a dynojet.

meat are you tuned? |

just to add a thought, i think people should worry less about the type of dyno and more on the variables associated with each run.
