Title: RWD Fun in the wet
Post by: rhydV6 on 23 October 2006, 12:43:39

Driving back yesterday on a rather wide but twisty road in the tipping rain, with lots of surface water - god these things are tail happy in those conditions  :o

I have Uniroyals on the back with plenty of tread so not down to rubbish tyres or anything..

Will soon be taking the TC bulb out of the dash - fed up of seeing it flashing at me as well hehe

Hehe, just press the TC button on the dash. That will stop the light flashing! Will also stop the TC working though :P

Yep, they are a bit lively at the back in damp or wet conditions - even more so on the estates :( Always getting mine flash at me, especially pulling out at junctions with a bit of welly. As Supermop said, you can always switch it off but if you do, be careful!! ::)

I remember my x-police V70 volvo T-5 Vreg wrong wheel drive when u hit around 120mph u could feel the front begin to lift up and the steering would get very light did go on the autobahns with that 150mph i hit was over there 4 workgood fun but i had to slow down cause it felt like it was going to take off ;D
so not as fun as right wheel drive

The main thing with right wheel drive is if you loose traction you dont loose your steering :y
