Guys,

Im not sure what's going on here. I keep getting torque sent to the front even at the slightest throttle kick.

My car had been running sweet up until a 2-3 months ago with it getting worse and worse. At first it'll keep sending front torque, until you take your foot off the accelerator and then it will correct itself.

Cruising at 80 kph it is sitting at about 10 or so. Hard throttlle itll go to 40. Mind you this is constant.

What could be causing these issues? The car has become really shit to drive. I do have a sliiping clutch ATM could this have anything to do with this problem? For example if i am hardshifting 2nd to 3rd it will slip and cause the front torque to fly up to 35 - 40 ish.

Thanks for your help guys.

Check tyre pressures and make sure they're even front and back. If that is fine, then put the front wheels on the back and vice versa.

Happens due to tyre tread wear, front and rear never wear evenly so over time a slight rolling diameter difference becomes bigger which makes ATTESA think the rears are slipping

Tyres are all 95% and in pretty good condition

Ok i got some good news, left rear tyre was flat 5psi.

New Tyres were installed two days ago, so I don't know what the f**k went wrong. I'll be going back that's for sure.

A lesson to all, the attesa system is very sensitive to tyre pressures!!!

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
