unless this has changed since '03, you are also wrong. it's the reverse of this. AT has VDC and MT has TCS...at least on the '06 models anyway.

 

I have an '03 Touring MT and I have "VDC".

 

i have '03 touring MT with VDC and also to clear things up for the Original poster your VDC or TCS (whichever you have) is ON when you start your car.. you shouldn't see a light unless you TURN IT OFF.. so if you see a light saying VDC OFF that means that you pushed the VDC button to turn it off (like i do every time i start my car, in rain or not.)

 

very odd. they must have changed something, or it's different for the coupe vs. roadster. my 06 touring roadster 6spd does not have VDC. only TCS

 

03 touring 6speed with VDC and TCS here. if you don't have vdc, you're lucky....most of us don't like it unless its raining.

 

I have a trac model with VDC. When it is working, you will know. TRY to spin your tires hard. If it is working, the VDC turns off the power REAL fast. Kinda sucks if you're attempting to enter the hiway real fast. It is always on when you start up the engine. You must push the VDC button to disengage it. I do this if I am about to attempt to get somewhere fast. (So I don't lose power to the wheels).
Leave it on in the rain for normal driving.

 

290n to 36n to 35 then onto 190 right into killen... i made it in under 2 hours.. but i was on two wheels

 

2 wheels are time machines and should never be used to come up with time estimates for 4 wheel driving situations. Trust me I know. I went to Deals Gap (996 miles from my house) in a total of 10hrs 36minutes on 2 wheels. In the truck and trailer it took us over 14 hours driving 90mph. But the driver did have to stop and eat every 5 fraking minutes.lol (the driver was a fatboy)

 

check out this thread for people in th Killeen area.

 

i would say bring your car to shop if you need tuning or mods installed if not everything else should go to the dealer....
