Rob_Mitchell Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Thanks mate i'll look into getting it up there, what do they actually do and does it make a BIG difference? All ive changed is the wheels since the last geo setup. Changing the wheels to the huge wheels you have will make a huge difference mate.

Tony was helping Gaz Shocks develop a new suspension for the Supra, I had the prototype on my previous Supra. When I had the system fitted it was a little slippy on full power, much like the old stock suspension. He tweaked it and then we went out for a spin and the difference was amazing. Did a U turn and then full acceleration and where it would normal slip a little the car was spot on, felt well balanced. Without a doubt highly recommended for special application, pretty sure even JamieP uses them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I think that will solve all to my problems as the car does seem a little unbalanced under normal driving. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a98pmalcolm Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Its pretty clever the syvecs traction control. I usually have mine off, then setting 1 on a wet day and then 5ish on the frosty nights.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 If its a really aggressive cut and its throwing you forward then I would be careful, dont push it as you might spin a bearing hmmmm, definitely agree with this!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Learn to drive a 600hp wheel wheel drive car in the wet or do what most of us do at this incredibly dangerous time of year and put her away till March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think its about learning to drive it, the point was to see if my traction control was working correctly.... Why have a traction control wet setting if you still cant drive it?

Why have a traction control wet setting if you still cant drive it? Good point but the roads aren't just wet their very very cold and in some cases icey. I've never been a fan of any TC systems and wouldn't trust it, especially at this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 BPU here and took her out Saturday for a spirited drive. I was breaking traction in first three gears and the back end also stepped out a little at around 50mph. It was fun but also a sign that now is the time for her to be garaged safely. Driving in the wet is pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
