[samnorthy]

My friend is setting up a group by for Race logic’s traction control system. If any one is interested here is the link:

Could be useful with the roads getting evermore slippery at this time of year.

Isn't this a case of, 'want traction control' then buy a Porsche ! (just a thought)

Not an easy fit for a TVR, you will need to fabricate brackets to hold the wheel sensors etc. But it can be done, has been done.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy something less powerful? Or take out a spark plug?

the TC unit itself with digital adjuster is about £850 - thats the easy bit - on non-ABS cars you are looking at a lot of labour + additional sensors to create brackets and wheel speed sensors etc - I wouldnt expect much change from £2.5-3K total depending whether you use a garage up North or South etc

its much easier (near plug n play) on a car with ABS sensors already .......

just to add - make sure you get it fitted and set-up with someone who has experience of it...its not trivial to get it set-up "just right" with the laptop etc...once all the base stuff has been done you can then adjust all your presets etc in-car in real time with the digital display - I have it on my other car not on the Sagaris...launch control is especially useful if you do sprints/hillclimbs etc

uscan has it in, no idea how the fitting is?
We haven't tried it out yet, will have to at the weekend

Not that difficult as I did it on a Griff, with launch control and full throttle shift.

Greatly recommended in the wet or adverse conditions or even when being bitten on the bum for not paying attention is the penalty.
