Stolichnya Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 hello all, just joined (week ago) and just seen i ought to do this newbie thing. I bought a quicksilver manual TT on a P plate about two months ago. Its amazing, simply...... well you all know what im on about!!! I think my cars old owner may have been a member, is there any way of telling? I would welcome suggestions as to how i can stop wheel spin in 3rd at 70mph+? and yes, i know i could not put my foot down but thats not the point in having this motor.. is it. anyone point me in the right direction for some mild tuning?

chilli Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Hi and welcome, glad you're enjoying your new beast wheelspin, tell me about it lol. Fat, grippy back tyres and RLTC are the answer... search for BPU and look through the traders sections, loads of info and help on how to mod you car on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I think my cars old owner may have been a member, is there any way of telling? Hi Maybe some pics, or a part registration number. RLTC is good, crap traction though on the wet and greasy roads, the stock traction control isn't good. Be careful, you can lose the back end so easily when you least expect it.

Hello and . Get used to your car first before thinking of mild tuning. Maybe RLTC as your first mod if you're worried about spinning the rears up?

terawua Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Enjoy your purchase, though I would advocate a period of getting used to it. I bought mine on a frosty december day a little over three years ago - whilst on my test drive I lit the tyres up horribly and got it all sideways - which may have been a good thing as it made me be very careful on the way home with it. I waited two years before going BPU, and see Dug (Classone's) posts recently regarding going BPU some time after he bought his - it's a learning curve! If you can stretch to it, RLTC is a good one to get... until then RFTC is a compromise (right foot traction control!) cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stolichnya Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 thanks all for the welcome. lots of ideas here, what is RLTC tho! i am not used to all this stuff. I haver been driving quick cars for a while so thanks to those who said take it easy, i didnt get a supra to slow down tho!!! hOW THE HELL CAN I SEND A PIC OF THE CAR? sorry, caps lok on! i will add a pic tom if someone can give me inspiration. The traction control is indeed crap. it takes forever to give power back after snow mode, whats that about!!! tried turning it off but its just stupid with 350bhp and a pendulum back end! i want to get 400bhp, come on spill the beans please. Anyhew, thanks again for the welcome. i cant see how to attach things so no pikkies tonite of my baby. by the way, its Quicksliver, 18" wheels (how can it spin 275/35/18's at 70mph!!!?? and has a cat back (1 cat taken away) apart from that its boggo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stolichnya Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 Hia, yes i do have recaro's but am not that impressed with them. my drivers one has the padding moving on the right side bolster (leg side) and despite best effots i cant get it back into shape. I have been quoted £500 to put leather into the front. does anyone know how to swap the lights behind the speedo/rev counter? my speedo one has gone and its annoying. i bet its a 3 day job!
