Not to bad tbh mate
Good tyres make a big difference
And it's very cold remember!
It's spins in first but will hold in second unless it very cold.  :smiley:

How to you get on with traction mate? It spins up quite a bit, not sure if its normal!?






Turn it off........... Learn to control the throttle, It will feel so much quicker.

Mine spins in second, but yeah it's been 2 degrees today so I don't expect that helped!

I don't mean traction control, I just mean planting your foot down and getting wheel spin in second at 4k revs!

What tyres have you got?
Check the pressures too.

Bridgestone potenzas on front, michelin pilot sport 3's on the rear. So not cheap sh!t!

Will check pressures though that's a good point

Thinking about it over te past few month mine has been spinning up quite a lot in second  :tongue:
It's better in the summer though!  :laugh:

I'm running Falken 452's and regularly spin up in 2nd at the moment. During the summer they are much better, but as said previously, you'll learn to not plant it in 1st or even 2nd. It's all about getting the balance right  :wink:
