has anyone every moved there tration control unit. to like behind the motor. so it looks cleaner like the non traction control cars.
thanks

 

I remember seeing a thread a while ago where someone moved it. I spent a few minutes trying to find it then gave up. I know it's been done though.

Bump it up

 

I've done it.

Here

I was supposed to follow it up with a write-up, which I never did.
It's more than half finished but I just don't have the time to complete it.

 

im just gonan delete the whole thing.

 

GEEZ snuffles. i can tell you are back east with some of the rusted parts. what are you going to do about the area where the cables rubbed the paint off the shock tower?

 

Yea, the salty air from the ocean doesn't really help.

Most of that rust is from the previous owner.
His battery had some nasty leakage when I purchased it.
The battery tray is almost non-existent.

 

i wanna see that writeup when you finish writing it up, maybe you could post some pics with the PCM removed (assuming you took some) as a teaser until then

 

Here you go:

 

thanks.. i may give this a shot this weekend (ohh wait nevermind, its St patricks day on friday ) , it looks better and is cheaper then buying a polished cover..

from what it looks like ill have to borrow a right angle drill from work

 

what are the benefits of removing the TCS system, i love mine

 

the entire point of this thread is to keep the traction control while cleaning up your engine bay...


but some benefits of deleting it are...

1. looks way cleaner without it
2. weight reduction?
3. so you dont have to turn it off every time you want to burn out
4. make room for another switch using the factory switch holes in the dash
5. so you dont try and pull out into traffic and your inside tire spins on a little dirt or rocks, causing your car to pull the petal from your feet. you're a sitting duck in traffic for about 5 tenths of a second.. a car moving 50mph travels approximately 75ft every second.

i only use traction control if its raining or really wet out every other time i turn it off. ive contemplated deleting it many times, mainly for the appearance reasons. but now i dont have to

 

Man, that hiding mod looks really good. I wish I had thought of that a long time ago.

But since the car only gets out on pretty days now and isn't my DD, I might have to look up deleting it now.

 

You won't need a right angle drill.
Just put a piece of wood where the hood latch is.
Then close gently close the hood on it, that will give you enough room to drill.
Like this.
Once the hood is resting on the piece of wood place a smaller piece of wood between the drill and the hood, so you don't hit the hood with the drill.
