mers about the Racelogic system... I've got tons more, but I'm too busy answering all the e-mails about the group buy to dig them up! LOL! You can also talk to KiwiZ, Sell500hp, and Ben(Miami) about the systems.
"just installed the unit and gave it it's first real test on roads that ranged from just wet to slushy and gravelly... what a difference... this unit is fantastic just the merest indication of a slip before it kicks in and helps get things back under control." - Chris Gould
"Yep, Z's are pretty tough to keep control of in bad weather. Just one suggestion, do not ever turn the traction control off! I actually had an accident a few weeks back in dry weather, it was the first time I turned the TC off in over a year. Was at a local Supra, RX7, Z meet and turned it off to spin the wheels a bit. On the way home I forgot to turn it back on and the rear end kicked out and hit another car when I applied power in 3rd gear. I really regret it happening but the car has been fixed and I learned my lesson, never turn the TC off again!" - Orion "With my TC set at 0% slip I can't get the rear to go out on any sort of bend, unless of course I deliberately went in to fast, break hard and turn in hard... Anyhow - as for safety, 0% is really only a wet setting, it's to harsh on a dry road. 5% is probably still over the top, but it works. And I can totally believe that this system increases your tyre life... it must do. Anyhow, on the street I tend to run at 10% or 15% - I'm still experimenting with these settings. As far as speeding out of junctions and going hard around bends (100% throttle), well - I've now been on the track with it. I was coming out of fast 80mph bends flooring the car, it was just loosing traction as I floored it out of the apex. Well, with really soft tyres and that sort of load you could actively hear the TC cutting just to gently take the slip until I was back on the straight again. I know what you're thinking, did I try it without traction control, no, next time I will... but I will have to learn the track first without TC... because I was never sure how much the rear would have gone without it! Although I was complaining the launch control is a clutch eater, when you set it to 3300 revs for instance (perhaps a little low!) clutch + floor it. Well, it's really odd, the car launches so smooth (10% slip or just under, I recon for a straight launch), it's weird, it just takes off. My friend with me at the time, (with a supra that has factory TC already) can now understand why race logic have a picture of a Supra on their ad. The factory ones just aren't the same!." - Jez "I just went out and tested the system on a wet parking lot, it drives just like the ground was dry when you set it to wet. I was peeling out with it off at 2500 RPM. Definately a good purchase on my part, thanks for your help." - TelZX
