i think u are thinking of the button.. i mean the actual trac sys... you know that ugly box by the battery on the fender well with the cables going to and from it..... i may just get rid of it if there is no mod... the tc gets kind of annoying when u turn right and the inside tire hits a little patch of dirt and pulls the pedal away from your foot (i hate that)...

i just want to clean up my engine compartment some more...... i did the !wire mod this past weekend and removing or relocating the tcs would make the engine comp look way better.... and it is kind of a bitch to shut off when i have my indash monitor open (i know slp sells a part to keep it turned off untill u turn it on) but now im getting off topic.....


my main goal is to make the enigine comp look as good as possible without loosing any of the cars functions (may have to sacrafice tcs if there is no relocation mod)......

I'm eventually going to eliminate mine. Reason being is, every time I get into my car, I turn it off anyways. Makes sense to just get rid of it and it will look cleaner too!
