dsc??
Ok so i was reading the drag racing post on here and someone said someting about make sure to fully turn off your dsc by holding it in. So my question is what does it turn off by pressing it once, and then what extra does it do when you turn it all the way off by holding it? When i drag race i just hit it once but i never new you could hold it down to shut it off more? Is this going to help me more some how? with it off i can burn the tires and slide sideways, so what more does it do by holding it down?
thanks |
press it once it turns off traction control
holding it for 7 seconds turns off dynamic stability control. dsc COULD interfere, because it has the ability to clamp down on individual brake rotors. its just better to turn it off. |
yup, TC and DSC get turned off when you hold down for 7 seconds
|
If you hold it down for 7 sec the rx8 runs a 10 sec 1/4 mile:lol:

cool thanks for the enlightment. Ive driven my car now w/ it off and i dont think it can do 10 in the quarter but defenatley a low 11's with it off!

Screw you people, and your fancy pants buttons :lol2: |
Did you run it yet?
What'd you get? |
no i havnt i was just joking around, imma try to get to the track one last time b4 winter and run w/ my nitrous since i havnt ran w/ it yet, I only have an 8th mile around close to me, but i should be in the mid to high 8's w/ my nitrous
|
What does Traction Control actually do? I know that turning it off causes me to smash my car up, but when it's on, how does it work? I've felt it kick in but I don't know what it's doing mechanically.
|
if you mess up bad enough it will cut power to the wheels so that you re-gain traction.
|
How can it cut power to an individual wheel? Something in the differential?

The 7 sec push thing will do nothing for your 1/4 mile time . Myth
There is some debate about whether it actually does anything at all different from the single push . Some say at 10/10ths on the track under hard cornering with the one push they still get some interferance from DSC . I have never felt it - maybe I'm too slow :dunno: |
I dont know about the dsc button making me any faster but theres a switch to the left of it that makes a HUGE difference in acceleration... Oh wait thats my nitrous switch never mind :)
