well if i had no traction problems in a 2.0 nova then i cant see a corsa having problem's...


simple thing to do, is learn to drive properly, and you wont spin the wheels

Your x14xe wont spin in 3rd, that'll be the clutch slipping

Strange. My x16 that had aftermarket inlet, filter, gasflowed c16xe head, 4-2-1 manifold, and full system didn't spin in 3rd in the wet.

But as said, you wont need TC, maybe in a tuned LET. just feed the power.

very odd! in teh dry it will keep traction if u pull away easy, but if u bury the shoe near top end, she spins, bop her into 2nd n she twitches. seems like a lot of torque, but dont get how. anyway, this is about TC in a redtop corsa lol, not that i blame ya for wonderin bout the 1.4
