After the long debates about TC, I have really played some silly beggers with mine, including a having it dancing the tacho between 4000 and 5500rpm in 2nd Roll Eyes - this will bring me on to another thread shortly Roll Eyes

I'm pretty sure mine stops play long before then. Will have to wait for my SC3s to wear down a bit more - then I'll give it a go.  [smiley=evil.gif] The behaviour of the DBW traction control is such that it normally gets turned off before any such antics are attempted. It really isn't pleasant IMHO. Does sound like the non-DBW is different in that sense.

I have never worn a set of rear pads out.  Mine have come detached from the backing plate long before then.

TC on an Omega applies brake to spinning wheel? You sure? How is the pressure produced to the brake lines? I'm quite convinced it is only controlling the power on the engine

Post 1998, it uses the ABS ECU to apply the brake to spinning wheel.  Pre 1998 ones couldn't use this technique, as it did not have independent control of each rear wheel (was on a 3 channel ABS).

It applies brake, if that fails, pops a couple of cylinders out...

Ok, you obviously have some knowledge about the issue. But what generates the pressure to the lines without pressing the pedal? Still not convinced, but I'm very often wrong

ABS pump!

lets also not forget your rather 'energetic driving style' 

Unlike the rest of the retarded world, I cannot see the point in waiting for rush hour to finish before pulling out on a roundabout. Life is too short

You get that where you are too then, can clearly see nothing is coming, and people STILL have to stop at the roundabout 

I need a bigger horn on the beemer, sat behind some dozy women who was waiting for the entire roundabout to be clear before she moved.

Horn sounded a bit wimpy   

You're on 2 wheels and quicker off the mark... Go around

Oh... Hang on... You've probably not picked up some of the bad habits yet

Of course... I'll get my coat.... Too tired or something
