jamesmark Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 awesome car truly awesome, rltc would be an idea, you say whats the point but you will find out that you need it, and a day that your out a british weather gives its best and rains then your arse will be all over the place and be careful with that front bumper i have a top secret and i am low but not as low as yours and i grounded my car and i was taking it easy aswell and i mean really easy and my bumper is a bit broken the smallest of speed bumps and i have to turn round also parking i have to reverse in to a space as it's lip sticks out like bubba out of forrest gump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockys96 Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 bastard i want that car:urock: but its missing the vital do-luck front and rmm wing:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 yea have to feather the throttle alot in the first three gears...not bad once in fourth:D Yeah, I prefer being able to boot it in all 6 though More fun. RLTC has a hernia but it copes. You've still got to be ready for it to step out though, if the tyres are on their grip limit it'll go sideways still, RTLC cannae change the laws o' physics. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Quite a good spec you picked up there. Get rid of that HKS filter very soon, as you will be sucking in all kinds of crap. Uprate your brakes. Even stock motors catch people out, so dont rule out RLTC so readily. Almost all owners who have lost a MKIV without RLTC, make it their first mod if they buy another.

Almost all owners who have lost a MKIV without RLTC, make it their first mod if they buy another. exactly ,if I had RLTC on my other car it would never had gone down a ditch on a straight,dry road too !you just never know if there has been any diesel spillages or mud ,grease etc. I was over confident with the car and got caught out.

Nic Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 It'll almost pay for itself in the saving on rear tyres in a few years too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 ok....i might get it then......but brakes first;) TBH jamie i think some UK brakes will be spot on for you and RLTC will be good to have on a car with that power,its a must for singled cars in my opinion.

JamieP Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 is there a way to take the standard traction control of?.....i keep forgeting to press the button....or will rltc get rid of it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 is there a way to take the standard traction control of?.....i keep forgeting to press the button....or will rltc get rid of it??? remove the traction control ecu and then take the bulb from the dash so its not flashing at you. people also remove the traction control butterfly in the throttle body,some say it frees up extra bhp.(optional).HKS do a traction control removal kit or you can have the holes welded up where the butterfly was. I had the removal kit on my other car. the rltc will replace you stock unit,on this car I have left the butterfly in and just disconnected the traction ECU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 You've got J-spec brakes!!!!!!! First thing I did was buy some UK specs (then play hunt the wheel that fits game). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
