Yes, I know what a class-action lawsuit is. And there are lots of subaru owners who aren't on this site. You more or less are criticizing me for trying to say some positives. Geez- I say something nice about the car and the thread police are coming!

Doesn't sound like removing the fuse is really all that fun if it cuts out at 4k and has slower steering. But its cool that someone tried it.

So I didn't notice a cut out at 4k, I will test this explicitly this weekend.
I also wouldn't call the change in steering 'slow' IMHO it just felt heavier and more direct. I tried some abrupt changes of direction when I had the fuse out and I noticed no difference in my ability to get the car to change direction. However, this is also just how it felt for me. To add further perspective I already really like this cars steering and for me the steering fuse out was an improvement over fuse in. |

Good, keep us updated.
Also, once the fuse is out, take a look at your speedometer. Mine stopped working as well as the fuel consumption gauge and cruise control |

People on this thread are god ****ing damn retarded. Anyone with 3 brain cells and a nice car knows that there's absolutely no use in turning traction control off on an AWD car, ever. It's AWD dip****s, what do you think that means?

So I can confirm that what Yuck experienced in his Canadian 2012, does also happen in my American 2012. With the fuse out going above 4k rpm induces either a fuel cut off or reduced power. Its very prominent and I believe it has to due with the check engine light being on. I believe if we could disable the ABS without inducing a CEL this problem should not arise, but I can't be sure.
I'll continue looking, however in the thread I first linked they mentioned two defeat options. One option that resulted in a CEL and one that did not. I update if I ever find anything... |

Well he's banned now, so good riddance! Funny someone calls everyone idiots, but really they're stupid for not knowing the reason wanting to disable the traction control. Obviously in mud or snow it would be very helpful!

Sand?!?, lmao....close enough. I have never seen snow in Oakland, maybe a flake or two on Mt. Tam once in a blue moon winter but they never make it to the ground... Gotta go towards Lake Tahoe for that...

We use some deicer here on our roads but it's still pretty harsh on our cars.
