Installing traction control I noticed that when I wired my PCM in to my kit Cobra, there were some traction control wires that I removed. What is involved in putting the system back in again? Do I just get hold of some speed sensors and wire them in? How about a switch for turning the system off again?
I've got 4 speed sensors from a BMW - are they likely to work or do I need GM ones?

htats probably unknown territory. most people who are swapping lsxs don't keep the traction control. I know that its tired into the stock rear end, so if you not running the stock rear end, it may be a little hard to do. You woudl also need the traction control module. Why bother is my question?

My car weighs about 2000lbs, so pretty light - not so enjoyable on a typical English winter day - read wet and slippery. Looks like I'd need a separate traction control module, so probably best not to bother... I'll have a look at a Racelogic system instead...

Racelogic do a system that is installed by Lotus - cars that weigh about the same if not less than mine. They seem to think it is worth it.
That said, I thought I could do it on the cheap, already having some sensors - didn't realise I'd need another box of tricks as well as the PCM...

For GM traction control to work you need the ABS
and the TCS "brain" (if it's a cable throttle, F-body
style swap). And the traction control is not that
suave an implementation either. I'd say, spend the
money on a rain tires and a roll bar
