So far I haven't turned the traction control off (only had the car a few weeks) - so I'm getting the 'loss of traction' with the TRC on...

OK - so I have this favourite piece of road where I turn onto the motorway (North Western) by way of a nicely banked left-hander (Te Atatu on-ramp). I come out of the left-hander at about 60kph and floor it As the car accelerates, my orange 'loss of traction' light comes on (on the dash next to the handbrake light) The car doesn't feel like it is losing traction - and the light will go off at about 90kph Naturally I immediately take my foot off the gas and cruise to work at 100kph ;) Any ideas?

Hi guys (and girls), Having been a guest on your forum for the past few months I can finally post a message as I now have an Altezza. Really impressed with the wealth of knowledge that is contained within the forum - along with the pictures and info on your cars. I decided on an Altezza based 90% on the posts in this forum (having seen Gavin's car in NZ Performance Car). I got the car (99 RS200 in Silver) last week, drove it all weekend, and am sitting here at work still grinning! The car is so fun to drive. The car is currently badged as a Lexus IS200 (Lexus grille, with Lexus badges on the back) - the wheels still say Altezza, as do the floormats, steering wheel etc. I'll probably keep it status quo - just to confuse people. Thanks again for all your informative posts - I'll post some pictures soon. Glen
