Revo Posted November 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 OK ok I am done with lotus, but i have more questions,Did volvo offer Traction Control in 93? Beacuse there is a button on the dash that looks like it but i am not sure, It looks more like Stabilty control.The symbol on the button shows you a back end of a car with squigly lines behind it.I thought volvo called their Traction control system, TRACS?

Slater Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 CLUSTER SHOT... - NO BOOST GAUGE = NO TURBO.I heard that was part of the Lotus package. They swapped out the cluster. Seriously.That car does not have a red cover. That's what Lotus did differently! Can't you guys see that?!?!by the way, the "turbo" badge is from a Saab 900.

PullMyFinger Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 WAIT A SECOND!At first, I thought this was all just a joke. Then, I got a wild hair and decided to have a look-see under my red cover (which is actually black, but thats only to match the rest of my car).Look what I found!What is this???:Looks like a turbo to me. Does that mean that early years 850s had dual turbos? Sure looks like it!bitchin :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
