  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

I have my 2.0t g70 and everytime I try to drift it it just keeps on braking although I turned of the tc completely by holding the button,I figured it’s a safety thing or it’s for racing and maneuvering,so is there anyway I could turn it off completely or do I have to pull the fuse?
 
On most street cars, you can't turn it off. It always reactivates if the car gets out of shape. You can only do that on dedicated sports cars, like Porsche GT cars, and maybe Corvettes and such. Having said that, I'd never thought possible to drift on my stock '23 G70 2.0T with its 255 rear summer tires. It just doesn't have enough power. Maybe a very slight one with cold tires at slow speeds, but that's about it. Maybe you have it tuned to a much higher level. But yes, removing the fuse might do the trick, but I don't know. Hopefully somebody with experience with that will chime in soon. Good luck.
 
There’s no way to really turn everything off regarding traction and stability control other than unplugging one of the abs sensors on the front or rear wheels to deactivate abs and stability control will be deactivated with it .. or maybe is there a simpler way to turn off abs?

When you turn off the TC, do you wait for the “traction and stability control disabled” message?

On my G70, I press the TC button to disable traction control, and keep holding it down until the “traction and stability control disabled” message appears on the dash.
 
But it's not really disabled. As soon as the car gets out of shape, it kicks right back in. And that happens on most other street cars too, including my ex-Lexus RC-F. You can only do that on certain dedicated sports cars, and only in track mode.
 
I have turned off traction control one time in a car I had (not Genesis) and it was because of snow in my driveway. Once I had determined the wheel without traction I extracted the car and when on the street I resumed TC.

I have first hand experience that it is, Was at the 1/4 mile track last night, rear end broke loose around the 330 foot mark, and my G70 spun in a complete 360 degree loop. Was extremely fortunate not to hit anything and drive off.
