Wass happenin' Skip? There's a company that makes a smart module to cancel out that on-ignition/off-ignition/on-ignition TCS deal. I might give it a shot. Was that tire combo on 17/18 or 18/19?

No rubby-rubby?

And I've done the same thing, street-wise. Turn TCS off while driving, pull into a place, shut the car off, hang out, go to leave, start it up, intend to pull out like a bad-ass with tires a-smokin', bog like a sum-bitch, look like an olympic caliber dork.

'Course I don't really need the car to accomplish that .

 

Dumb question: What's TCS? And what's it suppose to do?

 

traction control system. it slows down the rpm's of the engine in order to compensate for wheel spin as well as apply the brakes a little.....the end result, slow everything down to gain traction

i could be wrong with the acura tcs with using the brakes somewhat to help, i just know toyota's do that

 

Thanks Dan

I did that with the Corvette at a track day. The rear brakes were being applied every time I trail-braked into a corner. They overcooked themselvs and the pad material fell off the backing plate. I ended up running off the end of the track with no brakes. The rear calipers were siezed so bad they were junked.

 

ouch
