how bad is that lack of traction now that you are making much more power? do you ever wish that you had just bought an awd/turbo car insted of doing the swap? -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Traction is an issue but the car is still daily driveable. You can still launch soft and sometimes you might chirp the tires or something but nothing bad after you get used to it. Of course this is very light throttle. I don't go full throttle in first (ever) or the tires just break loose, no matter where in the powerband I get on it. 2nd can be a problem as well, especially on a downshift hitting it hard or sometimes not paying attention. One day I got pissed at a driver stopped in the middle of the road with no blinker, horn is disconnected so I revved at him... not thinking, I popped the clutch back out afterwards and almost put it into a parked car when the steering wheel jumped from torque steer (no LSD).
Wet roads on uphill gradients can be a bit tricky as well. - aba |
