TC on a car without tc
« on: 12 July 2009, 14:35:33 »
Hi, anyone knows if its possible to enable tc on a car without this?
Like fitting the button and using the tech for reprogramming the abs ecu.

You honestly won't need TC on your car .... even if it was possible to fit!  ;)  ;)  ;)  ;)
It's a PITA anyway  :y  :y

Last time I went to Norway was before cars generally had ABS TC etc and all the other elecrickery driving 'aids'  that they all seem to have now. Have you ever seen a Norwegian taxi driver on his studded tyres in snow? A case of .... what snow!  ;D We'd have all come to a standstill with half the amount!  ;)  ;)  ;)

Prancing Stallion was put down just before Christmas - When you get to first name terms with the AA guy, who comes over and says "Hi Dave, whats broken today" its time to move on.

Actually, thinking about it, I take back my remarks, I just remembered the blistering test drive I had in the VXR8 a few months back - Very tempted !!

Thats what it says on paper, but to be perfectly honest, I found the VXR8 to be so much more refined than the Monaro, yet couldn`t put my finger on what the difference was. I`d opt for the VXR8 out of the two though

Don`t you believe it - the price on those cars is going to fall sharply, Stunning car it may be, but the Vx badge is never going to hold its deserved value, so it will not be too long before they become affordable secondhand, providing they have not been Chavved or crashed in the meantime.

I've decided that my Omega will stay on the raod as long as I can make it - with in reason. The next car I buy will be a V8 powered GRP toy made in Blackpool!  :y  :y  :y  :y
