@AlfaDublin.. that Race Logic system.. does it require the car already being fitted with a Traction Control system? If not, then it sounds very interesting. Whats the cost involved?
@TB... Going down to pick it up this Saturday
God.. i cant wait! I got the Dyno results on it a few days ago.. looks excellent
Engine performs above average, so that very promsing.
My mechanic fabricated the custom suspension uprights and the custom bell housings for mounting the Brembo discs from blocks of billet aluminium using C.A.D and C.N.C machines and then used a tap and dye machine to drill/thread the mounting/bolt holes.Hes gonna start making up mounting kits so that the standard Alfa 147/156 can use GTA calipers and discs.
I had my Alfas standard ASR button/system riped out and had the Race Logic traction controll system installed.You can adjust/fine tune the traction controll system to suit the type of road or weather conditions u are driving on and in via a controller knob that is dash mounted in the car.You can precisely dial in or dial out wheel spin and grip too.
You can install the Race Logic system into a car with or without an asr button/system.You have to hard wire the Race Logic system into the cars ECU and ABS sensors and fuse system.
Its a great piece of kit,It cost me 1500 euro(about 1000 pounds sterling) to be fitted and set up.
Absolutely no wheel spin at all,no matter how much I try to floor the car in 1st gear off the line,the traction controll kicks in(you actually hear it kicking in and slowing the front wheel speed,it sounds like a very fast/loud ticking clock)exactly the same setup/sound that u see/hear on the F1 cars when their traction control system kicks in.The sound of the traction controll is mad when it kicks in but it is a great piece of kit and worth every cent.Well I think so anyway.
I will post new better pics of the brake calipers and discs attached to the car and the Race Logic traction controll system when i go down to my mechanic to collect her next week.Thanks
