Thanks.. |

Or Back To What I Had Before I Bought The Ground Effects Kit.. This post has been edited by Zender on Jan 31 2008, 12:36 PM |

It has awesome handling... compared to my S2000 (7-7-2-2-7)I think that my RX-8 (2-0-1-1-1) is better... I have no idea why though... haha!

FD owns the FC on iro, no contest. FD is better at tsukuba outbound. Basically equal at myogi downhill and FC is a bit better at myogi uphill | ||

Reading is magic! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,601 Member No.: 30,700 Joined: Sep 24th 2008 Location: Philippines | O.o 2'50 with an RX-8 on iro? Oh joy! Now I know it's ME that has an issue! XD A comment on the tuning system. I compared my 7 engine-7 Intake with another 7-engine 7-ECU RX-8. Both were running pretty much similar times down Akina (3'17), though the guy with the ECU'd RX-8 was looking like he was having a bad day. You probably wont feel the Acceleration bonus until you have the ECU to make up for any speed loss on cornering. |
