Despite being an auto-stick(the ability to use the car as a clutchless manual), once the accelerator is fully depressed, it thinks you need to get going(avoid a hazard), so it overrides the "manual" mode and downshifts. This didn't work so good on the dyno at Custom Car Care during an S2000 dyno day there. I believe Alex had some pics of it on the dyno.

Nothing much. Getting ready to head out of here. How about yourself?

Mine was a rhetorical statement. Not only do I not care about what is going with you, I don't care to share my life with you either.















Just playin', man!

- I think I heard about that. That was the dyno day when I was having my Supercharger installed, wasn't it? Rafi, Jeff, and I were late due to finishing the supercharger install at my house that morning.

I'm having my friend Dave (guy who sat to my left at the Red Robin Dinner) install a Science of Speed Short Shift Kit in the car now.

I want to pick up a set of adjustable control arms that should be able to fix a good bit of my camber issues. Then after that I'm looking for a set of Silver Work VS-XX's!
Selling the car to save money, nay I'll mod it.
