Can i add ESP?

I have '04 Toyota Solara SE. It doesn't have traction control. Is it possible to add it to my car (button in the car, the main block, maybe wiring)?

No, no, nooooo, that technology is not anyway near an "add-on". Traction control involves your brakes, your speedometer, wheel-spin sensors, three PhD's in physics, etc. etc. etc. It involves waaaaaay more than a module, a button, some wiring and a switch.

I dont doubt that it can be done....but it would be EXTREMELY expensive, and will be LOTS of work. Ultimatly not worth it.

actualy, the more i had read of the factory service manual and studied the wiring diagrams, i believe it might actualy be able to added in. It just interlinks between existing system allready, there is no aditional physical connections that aren't allready preasent in the car. However what i couldn't find out is if the factory ECY needs to be reflashed to support the VSC computer or not.

Dunno, you'd probably only be able to get it for a reasonable price from a junkyard. Spend some time with the service manuals and wiring diagrams and trace all the wires out, then compare against your own car to see if these wires exist allready.
