BE CAREFUL IN THE RAIN with the TC/LSD combo!!!! I suggest you not turn off your VSC, especially in corners when it is wet outside. The tail WILL come out on you, and since both wheels will slip, that is a bad situation! I only turn off my VSC when it is dry outside.

So I am good to say its ok with just the TC in the rain without the LSD!

 

I've also heard about some bad things with LSD/TC combo for domestic cars. The cars lost control and etc.

 

Not to put words in anyone's mouth but I think perhaps he's just saying watch out with that combo because it will take a bit to learn the new limits of the car. When it does break away it does so in a more unforgiving manner than before.

I still prefer to keep the VSC off a lot because I believe oversteer is fun once you get the hang of it.

Shinchan: Congrats on your install! I'm sure once you get a chance to drive it some you'll really come to love the combination.

 

Thanks Mr Johnson (Being the lonely stepchild, I can't express myself! ). Thats exactly what I was trying to say! Be careful in the rain until you know your car's handling with those mods. I have seen people put mods on their car, and not use the enhancements the mods bring because they haven't taken the time to "relearn" the vehicle.

By the way, any problems shifting with stage 3? I know they did they valve body upgrade. How do you like it?

 

As general rule of thumb.. from Shinchan...

Don't do stupid tricks in the rain... or wet street.. Life is precious..
Learn the car's cabability... plus I have my son in the car most of the time.. so VSC stays on...

 

Great post, Shinchan! Words to LIVE by....
