    DSC Off - Some Observations

    I have never had the problem with jerky or bogged starts. Maybe a few times, I understand why everyone says it though, its a lot different then all my other cars (2 Honda accords, 1 Acura integra) but for me its nothing unpleasant. My friends do though have the problem when they drive it. hmmm.

    Another hella fast fly-by on public roads. . .

    Ok, after watching it like 100 times it seems to me that it is fast fowarded for a couple frames and then skips a few frames but continues to play the audio as if it were passing. The poor frame rate of the video seems to prove my point as well. (blah) anyone else think the same or is it just me?

    Check engine light over boost 1K miles!!

    Well, I figured that the misfire had something to do with the overboost problem. I just installed a boost gauge, and notice that if I get on it in a high gear the boost will spike to about 17- 17.5 and then drop to 14 and hold steady. I have not had the problem happen again since then, but I...

    Check engine light over boost 1K miles!!

    well it blinked when it first came on and then went to solid. my honda did the same thing, I thought that was just because it was throwing a "new" code and just to let you know. I may stand corrected though. does that clear things up? or is it still bad that it was blinking just for a minute...
