Traction control and IVA...

I'm currently still building but feel like i'm making some progress I'm wiring up the racelogic traction control system and was just wondering if for the IVA i'd be better off leaving the adjuster off or does it not make a difference and not cause them to test bits?

Notthing about TC in the manual, so really it will be all about whether any aspect of the installation infringes any other rules.

shouldn't think it'll matter, but i'd leave it off and fit after just in case

it runs of ABS sensors that read off the ABS rings at each corner, I was more worried about them saying its half an ABS system.

I'll just leave the adjuster tucked away/disconnected, thats unless he'll want to try the launch control

On the speedo testing rollers you can get one wheel running faster than the other (unless you have an LSD). This caused me a problem as my wheel-speed sensor was on a driveshaft. Eventually they just drove around the car-park shouting at each other over the radio (comedy, but it passed).

This might also upset your TC and cause weirdness.

KISS and unplug it.

the speed sensor is mounted on the prop, its got a LSD also anyway.

It seems the best thing to so is switch it off/move it out of sight till after the IVA.

I was planning to have mine fitted (probably turn it off, but leave it fitted).

Thinking about it though maybe the edges on the adjuster wouldn't pass the radius test? I'll read up on that, but maybe it's best not to fit the adjuster.

Don't see why they'd say it was anything to do with ABS - it might use ABS sensors, but it's not connected in any way whatsoever to the braking system.

surely if you have the rear wheels on rollers, and the front stationary, it will think that you are getting massive wheelspin and get confused?

Best switching it off i think.
