Probably smart. Bummer though.

$1700 plus like $150 ship on my end for ETS 4" straight pipe with the pro y pipe i want.

never seen any used for sale. i may have to do it.
fucccccck.

Yes, I am not sure on traction control. I just turn off the factory traction control and let her eat. I am trying to learn all the Ecuteck features.
Haven't really needed it.

hmmm the seller is good. i expressed an apology that i think im backing out due to possible work stuff. he said well you can buy it and worst case sell it worst case scenario......im like wtf why didnt i think of that lol

:facepalm:

The factory traction control sucks, kills all the power. My 2017 didn't have enough maps available for the Ecutek ATC. I'm planning on having Seb set it up on my Nismo but I'm not sure how it works either. I think Hotrodz utilizes it, I'll have to ask him about it (if he remembers, it's been a while since he's driven his car). :rofl2:

Turnboff vdc and you can use your speed control button on the steering wheel to hijack the oil temp gauge to set the specific percentage of t/c you want. I have mine at about 75% right now. Helps when doing launch control.

I came from an age where I didn't have anything. It's not bothering me much just turning it off all together.

That's simple enough. Thanks for the info. :tiphat:

My station is out of boost juice. No E85. I got a half a tank of fun left.

Yeah, traction control was your right foot. :driving:

I will be running Ignite Racing fuel.

Still is. I haven't changed a bit. Rolling into the throttle, etc. That's how I drive. I don't just stab the throttle. Not happening.

One of the first things I learned was to roll into the throttle. Flooring it just means tons of tire hop and unneeded tread wear.

Not in a boosted car. It means bad things may or may not happen like looking at oncoming traffic face to face. Been there done that.

That’s how I do it too. I don’t like the nanny controlling a booster car.

Me neither. I hate it. If I forget to turn factory traction control off it reminds me on the first throttle cut.

That can still happen. Mine steps out if I just lightly roll into it at low speeds in 3rd.

The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXXIII
 

Yup. I know how to handle throttle/brake/steering when the car gets sloppy. What I don’t know how to handle is trying to compensate for the stupid traction control system doing what it thinks is best for a given situation.

I don't have that issue. I can go WOT in third with my tire size and type. I am on 17psi of boost setting. The tires are amazing.

First off, check back in with that statement when it’s below 50*F. I can do WOT in third if running thru the gears. The situation I’m talking about is if I’m cursing at 30-35mph and I roll into the throttle. As soon as the turbo spoils up it knocks the tires lose. Scared the **** out of me the first time cuz I was in my neighborhood. Driving a high power turbo car takes some getting used to. And I’m nowhere close to your power level.

What size and type are those?

I forgot to mention the tires needed to be warm. I have not knocked the tires of yet. It will step out to the right a little bit or squirm. Nothing major. I am running R888r's on 11.5 in. rims. Size is 325/30/19. Just a smidge on the wide side. All up under the fenders.

ignite was the link above that post.

also $375 for 54 gal

Even Brian at MA-Motorsports couldn't believe how well it did. He was expecting it to violently knock the tires off like yours. It does not. If it does cut loose it is very controllable. Thank Hotrodz for pointing me toward these tires. They are amazing.

Like when the rear is stepping out a little and the nanny decides to apply a rear caliper to straighten out the car. And have you pointed in the wrong direction. :eek:

I had MA put an extra switch by my diff cooler switch so I could cut that dang yaw sensor power. LOL It is on the "To Do" list.

You don't believe me? That's fine. LOL

Yeah. That’s a lot of tire. I’m still running normal sport street tires. I’m thinking of going to triple-8s on the next set.

Dude. You responded to the same posts with three different comments. If you get all that power down, that’s awesome. I don’t think you are lying. All I’m saying is that thing is going to be a completely different monster when the temperatures get cold. I guarantee I pick up 35-40whp when it’s cold and the spool and boost threshold are less.

Why wait. Put them on and mothball the old ones. I have an extra set laying around. LOL

LOL, Yeah I was waiting on a call to start. Conference calls, my life long dream to do at work.

My switch is on the dash.

Been spending my extra funds on the truck and hunting stuff. It’s the cars offseason.

I just ordered 315 r888r's rears.

didn't use a big enough hammer, eh?

I guess not :rofl2:


Actually I haven't even tried it yet. I have no one to press the start button while I bang on the starter. I was just checking prices. Found a Remy starter for $285 incl $50 core charge.

Just spent the last hour pulling 2 nails out of the rear tire on my Eclipse and plugging them. Those plug kits work pretty damn well. Saved myself some bucks too. :tup:

I carry an ARB kit in my truck. It has come in handy a couple of times off-roading. :tup:
