I just watched this video:
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/A...ini_679798.htm Where a JCW is being driven around a wet track. The driver has some very uncomplimentary things to say about EDLC. What he says doesn't sound like what I've heard about EDLC at all, it sounds like he's still got traction control on, is this how EDLC really works?
What I understand is EDLC will brake the spinning wheel, which would allow more power to go to the non spinning wheel, which should be a win in the situation he's describing (exiting a corner under power). What he's describing sounds like what the traction control does, robbing you of all forward power. I'm wondering if he had the system set right, but I'd like to hear from people who have EDLC and what it really does in extreme conditions like this. (I'm thinking on the track specifically.)
I'm just thinking ahead, I like to know what I'd get with the next MINI, though currently we have no plans for a next MINI. I've been thinking that DTC/EDLC would be a good thing to add to a MINI build, specifically for when we're on track. Now that LSD is no longer an option, and JustaCoopers never had an LSD option, DTC sounded like a good idea. I'm usually very happy with the job the DSC does for me, at least it never usually intrudes in my driving. Its only recently that I've even bothered to turn it off on the track, I have to get pretty enthusiastic before I feel its presence, but if it is getting in the way, I like to be able to turn it off. The problems the driver was describing sound exactly like what prompt me to turn off the DSC.
