Default Disabling traction control for good

I did a search and didnt come up with anything. Is there anyway to disable traction control, or at least set it so that it does not turn on when you turn the car on?

Hmm interesting. Also what is Competition Mode? Is this an active handing feature?

Since AH was optional on 98s you may not have it on your car. If you do it permits you to use AH while turning off traction control.

If you have active handling, pressing and holding down the active handling button for 5 seconds activates competitive driving mode. This shuts off traction control, but leaves active handling on.

If you don't have active handling, you obviously don't have this feature.

I myself would not disable TC/AH for good especially if you drive it in bad weather, even on a dry surface the rear will come out from under hard throttle during a slight turn !!!! Just my $.02 :steering: :smash: :cheers:
