No Loss Of Traction

[SJW]

Okay,

I have done approx 1000 kilometres running the car in as suggested.

The other night I was taking my brother for a drive and he asked about the traction control button.

We were at the lights, I took the opportunity to turn off the traction control to see what happened....................

The weather was dry, it was about 15 degrees, night time.

I have a SSS so I selected performance mode but left it in auto mode. At the change of lights, foot went flat to the floor, but there was no loss of traction ( or even close to it ). It still accelerated very fast through to the speed limit, but I am concerned that the traction did not break.

Anyone have suggestions or experienced the same problem and had it fixed ?

I have lost traction many times by turning off the traction control..

Unless the road is bumpy, simply flooring it in a straight line ain't gonna do didly squat. Next time, get the revs up before you launch (foot on brake, other foot on accelerator), and you should get some action.

I agree even with 320fwkw it still does not break traction unless you hold revs up and let the turbo spool up before it takes off.

What he said. I reckon try about 2000 rpm. This is where the turbo really kicks in.

Oh yeah get the revs up and tell us how you go!

A well designed suspension WILL give you a lot of traction. (that's what it's setup to do)

If you want to do burnouts, put a pair of std tyres on (like a crappadore driver does) :idea:

Knowing SJW and his brother like I do, somehow I think they be doing more than just a few "burnouts".... Nothing like history repeating itself.

Only a couple of weeks left to go.... B)

I reckon get a aps phase 2 kit, then she'll break traction!

So,

( and please forgive me in advance ).

If I have an auto, is the plan to lift the revs in neutral and drop it into gear once rev's are higher. Would this damage the gearbox or engine. This is why I asked for forgiveness in advance.

I know its a wierd comment, because if I was to punish the car by wanting to spin the back wheels , why would I care about the gearbox etc.

However, if any other auto members have done this , would like to hear their comments.
