hi
why would you want traction control?
if i had traction control i would work out how to permanently disable it.
if it can't be fixed with opposite lock, it can't be fixed.

AFAIK traction control only came with IRS rear ended cars ... so S1 would miss out completely I think? I have TC in my Series II Ghia with IRS and I can't say it has been really beneficial in the grand scheme of things, spend the money putting it into engine mods or even brakes/suspension ... set of Brembos will fix any stopping issues ;)
