you know the controllers dont do anything except make it jump to full throttle by putting a little pressure on the pedal right?

i never saw any value in these but its just my opinion.

ok. as long as your informed. i dont think there is that much lag. what i would really like to try is put your ge8 throttle body on my gd3 since it would be a 5mm increase so my throttle response would jump up.

i've never noticed any lag with the DBW setup on my fit, maybe the GE8 is a little different *shrugs*.

I'm gonna hit 64k mi on my car today!

I never have noticed lag either. Only thing I ever notice is some brake lag but even then it is minimal.


Oh and hi! guys. How has everyone been for the last few months? Been busy with work and not having time for social life but finally calming back down again. Seems like everytime the business gets a new client my life ends for short period of time.

got myself a new job in Mukilteo, so my commute just went through the roof. Will be moving north either december or january.

Fit has gone to 64k, by the end of my commute today. Still needs front brakes done. None of my coworkers has a Fit.

At least though, its a m-f job, so i get weekends off.

I feel it every once in awhile but I'm not going to buy it right now. I'm trying to go upto Canada and pick up a couple of things instead. The eco mode on it would be nice to have but I'm good on that.

Congrats on the job Matt!! What would you be doing?

Kyler hit me up sometime when I'm on winter break from school which starts after December 11th I think and we can test it out.

Anything new Mike with your car situation?

Not really. Just still selling it. Gonna pick up the Mirage I sold to my buddy when I got the fit. Probably keep it and drive it for a year or so to get a good down payment and then go for the NSX again.

Congrats on the job Matt. I have rotors if you need rotors.

Matt - the rotors are DBA 4000 series rotors. They are 2pc vented and slotted rotors. I have pictures of them in my FS thread.

Poochmike - I live just down the hill from Joe Albi stadium, where Francis turns in to 9 mile road.

Eric - I'll post some pics of it the way it was when I had it. Not much has changed really but he has added some Evo parts to make it look alittle better.
