yeah ... well it says that mine has traction, but there's no switch for it ... but when econ. is on, i have awsome grip like in the wet, can accelerate with no slipping ... but when its off, i just spin ... thats just demented, so i dont know wether traction might have been wired through to that button? would i have to bring it to ford to find out, because its just weird ... and yes, its always off aswell haha

Are you sure you have traction control? coz my car doesnt spin when its in econ. your probably not slipping because econ just makes your car rev less, and traction control will do the same thing, but only on take off. I think.

u drive my car tonight after school and tell me ... cuz its freakin weird ... but thats what the previous owner told me ... but he also said i had cutian airbags .. but it dont look like it does it :@ ... aaaaarrrgghhhhh .. ooh well im still totally happy with my car!!!

It is a bugger of a conversion (can be done though). You would need Fairmont looms (pretty sure), and all the bits of the dash including the new heater box to work with climate control (cant use your old one).

Talk to Chief as I think he is planning to put a Fairmont dash into his Forte, which is the same dash as what you have now.

I have a suspicion that Series 1 didnt have traction control. Is your car on gas, if so it would have it disabled.

The S1 Fairmont Ghias had traction control but I don't think the fairmont on the S1 had it.

from the sounds of it you dont have traction control.

when mine is activated, a light on the dash flashes. also, it is fairly agressive so youd notice it was happening.

falzoony · 23-06-2007, 05:57 PM

yeah nversace, the dude who sold you your car lied to you. you dont have traction control.
