Traction control system?

I used the very first ones about 8 years ago when it was first available out of UK, it was used on my 350bhp Escort Cosworth...

Never really figured it out...+ it fried my ECU.....somehow..dont hold me to it though, I think they are improved and are different systems too....

Its not my fault, I need a single to reduce my intake temps...I have problems with high intake temps while on the track...

I bought these wheels some time back, just never got ard to mountin them....

Who said FDs are cheap? esp when one needs a "Pimpin" one....

Egg me on Fikses, not electronic stuff...I dont like giizmos...I would rather spend my $$$ on a Mychrono+...hee
