The car looks awesome in black :10: and must admit this shape is really growing on me now. Enjoy it :smile:

I get the hint guys :getmecoat:

:rofl:

Don't worry, it still looks good in blue too.

Thanks for the comments. Loved the look of the car from day one and glad I went for black.The drive and power feed is so smooth compared to my old WRX. So many gadgets and already finding the blind spot radar really helpful. Time for a big clean and polish today.

Loving that :10: - especially in the black :ok:

Looks great Terry.
What do you mean it's smoother than your Bug, how dare you !!!! :)

What's the part throttle response like, does it feel like it's giving you a large % of boost or does it feel normally aspirated.
I hated that on my Hawk hence why I remapped it to give 80% boost at 50% throttle.

P.S Pictures now bigger as I hate those clicky attachments.

No complaints about your work on my bug Scott,but everything is so much smoother with the new car. Throttle response feels like it's giving me plenty of boost. How did you make the pics bigger? I've given the car a good clean and will take more pics and post via photo something. Just had a call from the garage and they forgot to give me spare bulbs,safety kit and locking wheel nut kit.

What setting do you have the Si-Drive in, as that changes the throttle map (but does nothing to engine/boost). I can probably dig out the throttle map changes from somewhere, if your interested.

I heard somewhere that in "I" it also keeps the boost from coming on as soon as it does for "S" and "S#"

I suspect as Terry is still running it in he'll not be in boost too often - with mine during the run-in I only took it out of "I" once or twice just to see that it worked. Now I flip between "I" and "S" depending on traffic.

It will have that effect as boost is mapped against throttle % and rpm.

Throttle plate % will be changed by the S-Drive.
The different S-Drive modes just alter the amount the throttle plate opens Vs the amount you press the pedal. Unlike a conventional cable throttle where it's totally linear (you push the pedal, it pulls a cable and the throttle opens).

For example, in the more sedate modes 10% pedal will give 10% throttle
In the more aggressive modes 10% pedal movement may give 18% throttle.
The disadvantage of the more aggressive modes is that the last 20% of the pedal movement is normally pretty dead.

It makes it feel like the car is quick, but you can get just as much out of it in the lower setting by being heavier on the pedal

It's also mapped 3 dimensionally against RPM, whereas the above just describes the 2D effect.

:thanx:

When I collected the car the garage forgot to supply/fit locking wheel nuts. I can go back and have them fitted or they will post them. Now even I can change a wheel nut, but does it need to be tightened to a specific setting ? Thanks

:agreed: Looks great:more:
