Constant wheel spin! Hahahaha

I thought you were trolling at first, then I realised you were serious... WTF are you thinking driving around in the wet with no traction control? I don't care if you mentor Webber that's just asking to be removed from the gene pool.

Or worse still, taking an innocent person in the wrong place at the wrong time

by chance, did you happen to have coated your tyre tread in WD40?

hehe, yes, even the N52 becomes fun in the wet if you're not sensible below 4th gear... even with decent tyres. heck, in the dry nothing but traction control blinking with the foot down

add more power to this situation, and really, just keep your DSC on... or AT LEAST DTC.. i find DTC more invasive in some ways, i hate it with the passion of a thousand suns.

I don't get any slip in the dry, but I always drive granny mode anyway.

few tens of kw and a more sensitive accelerator may do it?

Probably would! Got 35000km out of my current rears, they're up for changing.

flinchy · 02-06-2012, 04:02 AM

mine are somewhere around 15k or so i think, i'd expect another 15 out of them, quite pleasing.

^ Also does this in snow on narrow tree lined roads. I watched it and at the end I realised I was clenching.

DTC restricted or off with a proceed = no good..

I always get wheel spin in the wet. I learnt when I first got the car that I couldn't drive it in the wet because it would wheel spin bad and at worst wheel spin and slide.

You won't believe this but....

My fiance (been with her for about 7 years) LEFT ME and CANCELLED our wedding cause in the wet I did exactly this. Put too much power down and end up sideways doing about 80km/h. (not saying this for any other reason that... yes it happens and be CAREFUL)

Had any cars been either side of me I would have taken out both. Close call and suffice to say DTC stays on now

I don't understand this at all, my car never wheelspins or slides even in pouring rain.

TimMc · 02-10-2012, 06:06 PM

My car slides & wheelspins even when it's locked in the garage with the ignition turned off.
