What all goes into putting traction control onto a T/A that doesnt have it...? would it be practical? how much it be? i live in illinois, which gets some pretty crappy weather in winter, and unfortunately i will have to drive my T/A every once in awhile in this weather, so i thought it might be a good idea if its possible and not too costly... thanks!

Not sure....but I think the rear end needs to be set up for it.
If that is right...can get costly quick.

You would need to switch from a 3 channel abs system to a 4 channel and have a different abs control module as well. It would be a pretty big job since you would need a different rear. I would just learn to be more gentle with the gas and call it a day.

Agreed. Be glad you don't have that POS system. I absolutely hate it.

I was thinking about this, after last night, I got my car running and it doesn't hook up at all. So i remembered telling you to just pedal it. that was rude, my appologies. If you are having problems hooking up, which i'm assuming you are since your asking about t/c i'll suggest that we both look into supsension and tires for our cars. hopefully there are some things reasonably priced out there that can help us get a bit more grip on launch. Good luck!

The traction control system is nice when you are in regular traffic.
Helps your tires last longer. :lol:
