Glad you're impressed with your T350.

Suggest a little sensitivity with usefully long-travel throttle pedal in wet is all you need, as traction is pretty good for a powerful rwd car, and balance when sliding is good too ( as long as you haven't still got original rubbish dampers).

Managing traction in adverse conditions is at the core of any sports/super car appeal, rather than the interfering nannying of an engine being cut (most often too abruptly or at wrong time) to save us from ourselves. The latest fast-acting brake-type systems with different levels are apparently much more progressive, but not available aftermarket, unless anyone knows different.

All in my humble opinion. smile

Not fitted any TC to a SP6 car but done a cerbera 4.5 before using a Racelogic TC system .. once it was all dialled in (which involved me drifting the cerb round a private roundabout gradually pressing my foot further down whilst some laptop trickery was going on in the passenger seat) it worked a treat smile very worthwhile mod IMO. Any competent garage used to fitting aftermarket electronic gadgetry should be able to do it for you though.

Is Racing Green closer to you than SP? they have been advertising SP6 traction control kits I believe, or you could do worse than get in touch with Dulford, they're clued up guys thumbup

RG suggested that TVR voided engine warranty if the injector cut TC was fitted (I know). This was to do with some fuel still being in the chamber from previous cycle then ignited with the spark and potentially causing unwanted side effects (I'm not technical so not going to try to explain). RG also said they observed the cats ran very hot eek

"Perhaps some driver training sir?" was the quotewink

We had it on our Tuscan, last woner was a numpty, didn't even get decent shocks/suspenison, and the tracking was out a mile! Once we done that, no need for the TC.
Make sure all of the above is done, and set-up perfectly to you!
