Default Traction control

Hey guys, I just had a quick question. I have a 2000 ap1, I was curious if there was some form of traction control, if so, is there a way to turn it off and on?

Ap1's are somewhat more of a purist car because of the lack of TCS. Also part of the reason they will bite you when pushing close to the limits with the oem equipment SO2's.

Off topic but I like the Clarkson quote in the sig. Top Gear FTW.

He meant Potenza S-02s. They are the OE tires fitted.

I believe RaceLogic makes a TCS for AP1. PM CKit for more info, or do a search.

If you want TCS, buy a Mercedes.

1. Take everything on s2ki.com with big grains of salt.
2. Many posters will talk like they know, but with no idea.
3. Aftermarket traction control is available for $1000.
4. It is FASTER in low traction conditions.
5. It is a similar system to that in the current Lotus Exige.
6. It is infinitely adjustable, from slip % to injector cut sequence.
7. It's a ton safer if you have to drive in rain / snow.
8. It's not VSA and doesn't control brakes and slip angle.
