FTO AUSTRALIA

Its shocking when my front wheels can spin so easily.

Yep, was a factory option. Luck of the draw im afraid...... Wasnt available on the version R's though from what I can tell.

As dstocks said its a factory option, but I have yet to see an fto with traction control.

My midnight blue one had it. You get an extra switch in the mirror control unit. Borises old silver one that went to QLD had it as well

mine has it...

Hmm, mine has a light on the dash for it, which comes on for a second when I first start the car, however I don't have a button next to the mirror controls. Does this mean my FTO previously had it...?

AJ has it as well

Wow....didnt realise it was this common, I was thinking it was rare

If you control the revs you control the wheel spin. I can see traction control being useful in wet conditions though.

mine one don't have=[
HARDCORE TIME
P.s just on track

btw, how the icon of the traction control look like?
any pic???

I do, but normally have it turned off anyway. It cost me about a second on the 1/4 mile having it turned on.

i never had it and i kinda wish i had it now with the twin turbos aye when i hit some water and the car is slowly making boost the tyres spin lol.

mine has it, pain in the arse going round round-abouts,

doesnt kick in as much as you think it would, learn to drive properly and its redundant

You foot is the best traction control in our "low" powered cars.

Plus it makes you a better driver balancing wheelspin and revs for a fats takeoff. (On track of course)

start form when that fto equip with traction control?????

ive got it

I own Dstocks old Midnight blue GPX so I have it, it really is a bitch, and prevents a front sway bar install. Can anyone explain why this is though, I have nfi how a single button causes something so mechanically drastic that you can't install a swaybar/strutbrace/whatever Im thinking of.

And yes as Schumie said, its f**ken sh*t for roundabouts or cornering hard.

I believe there is an extra device attatched to your throttle body, which regulates the throttle (therefore power) and prevents you from breaking traction.

I think the extra bits on the intake manifold sit up a bit higher, therefore preventing a strut brace install.

yep it works via the TB I will try to get a pic up of one tomorrow for you all to see.

Thanks mate, I'd be actually really interested to see that.
