How TC acts,  when itīs working?
« on: 24 May 2008, 06:35:51 »

Does it just cut spark and fuel??
As some cars brakes too when slipping in one corner so rear acts like it has LSD ...

I am 99 percent sure that it only works as you first said, via ignition system. ABS is only used to pick up the loss of traction.

4 channel ABS cars use brake as well, before telling engine to calm it.  3 channel ones don't

Elite now gone.  Bought an X-Type 4x4.  If there had been an Omega 4x4 I would have bought that instead.  We really liked the Omega, but I wanted 4x4.

yeah and me. Id like to know too. My old pre face was a bit crude. Car just stopped in middle of rd if you tryed to nip into a gap and booted it. Hoping 3.2 is bit more refined than that.
