V8 Beast Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 John Rutan is the freaking man!!!!! The TCS glitch is gone!!!! No more random TCS issues that retard timing. No more uncontrollable issues that prevent me from setting up races... no more issues at the track that cause me to only run 11.6.... No more getting pissed at my car for not working when I need it to!!! ITS ON NOW!!!!!!! See you guys Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Glad to hear it, I hope that's the last of the issues. I'd also like to get our runs in this weekend, I think I fixed my boost leak. Oh yea, off spray, or at least only 50% spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rl Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Nice. What was the fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Nice. What was the fix? Zeroing out the timing retard allowed by the traction control. If the ghost light cuts on it has no control over the cars performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolrayz Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I dont think that will stop it from pushing the gas pedal back up thought. Have you tested it? Do a burnout with traction control on and let us know. I will try it out after i put the street shoes back on. Im on the trailer for the dragway 42 action tonight. Come on up it will be cold and the cars will run fast as hell with this air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on up it will be cold and the cars will run fast as hell with this air It still does the pedal push, but my only issue was the timing retard. I noticed today that it did bogg the car a down a little, but it only lasted for about 5 seconds. Usually I have to stop the car to get it to run normal. This time it bogged down, and then went back to normal without stopping. Do 97's have TCS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
