Can traction be retro fitted - mostly curious more than anything?

Only useful in the snow......though I guess it helps your tyres last.. :lol: Dunno the answer...can't think it'd be easy though!

I didn't think it would be either - this is what happens when my dad gets boored!

:-D If it had been a 120 ZT then he may have done...

The TDV6 ZT-T is something he mentioned earlier again too!

Great report by the way! :-)

You could retrofit, but not a job for the faint hearted.

You would need to start with a replacement ABS (Antilock Braking System) unit, different throttle with an actuator on the V6's, and some messing about with ZCS codes that would be risky. There may be other things I've missed and I wouldn't bother myself since being front wheel drive a bit of wheel spin isn't anywhere near as nasty as in a rear wheel drive.
