    TCL kicking in when hard accelerating

    the traction control keeps on kicking in between gears when hard accelerating, its a tiptronic, anyone else have this problem?

    ive stripped out the rear end and added a few performance mods but its insanely annoying when i wanna boot it and forget to turn it off.

    anyone know if this is a sign of bad suspension or something?

    TCL is connected to ASC, and even when switching it off, it doesn't turn off the ASC which works with the ABS as well. I have this problem when hard accelerating when turning at the same time. However, I did notice when I had brand new tyres I did not have this problem.
    We work to live, and to live is to drive a VR-4, around corners at speed. But it costs see here

    I need new tyres. As a consequence, I've seen that little yellow car appear several times.
