You are probably downshifting properly. Try to accelerate at 5th without downshifting and enjoy the dip. You are welcome

Just gotta throw it on once a month and you're set.

Then again, most NA 4 cylinders do not have much to give when you floor the accelerator in a high gear/low RPM situation.

Changed the spark plugs, 57,000 miles, half of which has been boosted and on E85. Also installed Eibach sway bars...damn those end links, and the engineer(s) who design them and the horse they rode in on!

Are you saying this with respect to the gearing ratio changes? Since you've still got the zenki.

Like an idiot, I stripped the threads on my wheel stud trying to install new wheels and not properly checking the thread pitch on the cheapo lug nuts I got.


Hobbled down the road and replaced the stud. Luckily I was able to just hammer it out and install the new stud in about 30 minutes and also ordered proper tuner style lug nuts with the correct specs.
