Supra_Nish Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Was driving out in the rain yesterday and lost the backend big time. Now i've lost it before and usually snap it back no probs but this time i was all over the show approaching opposite kerb still at speed. Managed to regain it and trundled home the rest of the journey at 30. Anyway, moral of the story, i had earlier taken apart the dash and forgotten to plug back in the traction control plug Is it just me but i thought you'd get a warning light somewhere on the dash if this happened??? Remeber, always double check u reconnected that bugger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 There's nothing quite like the back end stepping out to get the juices flowing is there. I nearly had a few close calls yesterday too driving through Hays where the Uxbridge road just became a river at one point. Can't wait for winter to arrive.

Supra_Nish Posted October 3, 2004 Author Share Posted October 3, 2004 Ah mate the hayes/uxbridge road stretch has to be the ultimate, a few lanes to play with and big sweeping roundabouts. Usually dint mind the back stepping out but this time it was just fish tailing all over and i wasn't pushing much harder then i usually do in the wet. I know everyone says TC is crap but i guess its better then nothing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
