Active Handling
Ok i'm starting 2 threads but i figured i'd take on one problem at a time...
I have a 98 hatch... While trying to remove my center console I removed the cover that houses the traction control button.. I've seen where the Active Handling switch is suppose to be in equiped vechiles... Bases off what i've seen from the undersize of that peice it looks like I should be able to add AH without a problem.... Also there are alot of wires that run into for it just to be the traction control..
So the million dollar question is... how hard is it to add active handling to my car? Is it even possible? looks easy...

In short the answer is No.
The longer version is that it has a different ECU, wheel speed sensors, wiring harness, ect. By having the bracket to accomadate the switch on the center console they save production costs. Is it possible? Yes, but the cost of parts and time would not make it very feesable
Good Luck,
Nick

Adding AH to a car not equipped with it would be a considerable expense. Plus, all the parts, wiring, programming, etc that is required would be quite an undertaking to install. If you try it, good luck.
