Default Asr?

Just wondering what it does and how many of you drive with it on or off? I did a search on asr but didnt find anything.

A.S.R.

Acceleration Slip Regulation

Just read that and I'm sure you can figure it out. It reduces the acceleration when it senses wheel slip.

Mine is always on until I want to have fun

Well I do have to agree with you on that one. Mine is always on because it is on when I turn my car on. And I just casually drive mine around anyway (most of the time) since it is my daily driver.

I agree. I bought the slp switch so that it automatically turns off when I start the car. I may turn it on if the roads are wet or slick so I do not over power the rear tires, but I actually turn it off if I am stopped and trying to get moving when it is wet or slick. First couple months I owned the car I should have left it ON more, but now I know what the car is going to do. The first time I tried doing a burnout in front of friends and not remembering to turn it off promted me to order the switch.

However that switch is getting removed soon and the off switch disabled as I am letting my little brother take it to his prom.

Glad my car didn't come with that... My ASR = my right foot. Too many things on car's these days that take away from driver skill...

I barely tolerate ABS, if I want to lock the tires, I should damn well be able to! I've locked tires plenty of times in my 88 and still manage to keep it under control.
