cjquicksilver Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 right can some one please answer my question as ive googled, searched on here etc and nothing seems to match my criteria. basicaly i want to turn the traction control off, but there is no button any were, no vdc, tcd etc, so i assume base model = no tc any way? yet some one ses all jdm imports arnt 'base models' and when you give the car the beans in the wet, its cuts power and i get 'slip' flashing at me? also when i turn ignition on, i get the tc light on the dash breifly light up (for bulb check) yet theres no button any were to be seen? any one clear this up for me?

marzman Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 It will have Traction Control. It will be on a button to the right of the steering wheel, about 6 inches up from the fuel release... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I think I understand your question TC button is to the lower right of the steering wheel, next to fuel filler cap release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vik54 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 OMG Think perhaps a wee visit to your friendly local independent might be a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 whats the card slot, is your car pay-as-you-go? as for the TC button it should be in that area, my guess is where the hole is. but you say there is nothing behind there? have you taken the dash off to look?

ATTAK Z Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 This is where the TC switch was .... check behind and I'm sure you'll find it ...... switch pushing out is a common problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjquicksilver Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 no, just gave the car a good poke with my finger in the hole and i cant seem to be able to feel anything, will take the pannel off tomorrow in the light and see if its low down? card thingy is somthing to do with tolls in japan apparently?

Chris`I Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 thanks for the concern, i will! bit shorter wheel base then my drift spec s body, so be intersting to see the differences in the corners on track Make sure you keep it to the track too. We've had far too many people stick it in a hedge/kerb/ditch/tree (delete as appropriate) who thought they could handle the car. Not saying you cant, but not on the roads please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont like to name names, but not all incidents have been reported on the open forum - its not uncommon for members end up writing off their cars and move on One of the most widely known incidents was on the way back from a Wales run. Fortunately no one was hurt but the car didnt look good afer is spun and hit a kerb. This was on drying roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
