Cwinedine 1st Gear January 7, 2013 Share January 7, 2013 Hows the open pod u fixed bro? Havnt got a chance to hear it & your views I think mine Doesnt have Any effects on butt feel Its fantastic..Surprisely, I can't feel any Low-end loss...mid-high is great. Sound wise..I loved it! Butt Feel..different from stock. Car's throttle feels lighter at higher speed..meaning no need to press so much. FC..dropped cos I keep whacking to hear the turbo spooling & the BOV sound Now dropped to 11.5km/l but worth it...I reckon if I resumed back my old style..easily can get 13-14km/l Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorkChong Clutched January 7, 2013 Share January 7, 2013 No,stock rex 5 speed has very wide ratio.sti euro spec is shorter but jdm sti is the shortest. i test drove the 2.5 STI 5DR in SS mode 2nd gear hit 100,by the time at 4th gear already 160..no chance to even slot it into 6th gear.like this consider short ratio?should be no problem getting to 250.

Cwinedine 1st Gear January 7, 2013 Share January 7, 2013 R u fully stock? In the past, I drive on eco mode..averaging 13km/l then XB asked me try switching off eco mode. Initially not used to it but over time I got used to it. Eco mode - rpm changes at 2k but it doesn't dropped at certain speed hence u press more on the throttle to compensate Norm mode - rpm changes at 2.5k (but if u're light footed like me..it will learn to change at 2.1k) but dropped gear instantly at the speed u're travelling I'm mostly on 50/50 traffic. If you can change gear below 2.5k..easily hit 13km/l bro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
