How dya go about disabling traction control? In my SR there is no button, i assume you have to do something under the bonet?

Yeap. Toyota numbers are really conservative.

First you got to see how heavy are the "bloody" rear seats...

I took them off and ride every day without them

For those fast runs I also took the spare tire, jack, tools and ran with very little fuel.

Now, for the Trc Off trick... Yes this car has no Trc off bottom so I just removed the TRC/VSC fuse out. It takes 5 seconds after you find it on the fuse box.

IMPORTANT...!!! By removing this fuse you will loose not only the Trc Control and the VSC but also the ABS.
I would not recommend this to anyone unless you are in a control environment ( Road Track) since the behavior of the car under extreme conditions will change.

By removing the fuse I was able to launch the car at higher rpm's and slip the tires a little bit without the car pushing the brakes by itself or cutting the power.

To put the car back to normal, just turn off the car, install the fuse back and re-start the engine. All functions should be back.

I'm currently looking for a way to install a switch within the cabin to disable these functions.
