Will take some vids on Sunday if the weather is good.
I can give some brief impressions with the short time I have had it. First off the negative - I think I got my first speeding ticket in ages after only getting the car back for 5 hours :P
Ok not a real negative, just my stupidity.
I babied it when I first got it to try and get a feel of how the extra power kicked. But after a few runs showing a few of the local club members how it ran I have a pretty good feel for it now.
Its everything you are used to in your fa20, just more. You put your foot down at any time and it goes... and keeps going. Favourite part is the 5000rpm+ were it just keeps pulling and the whiiiiiiiiine. Especially me with the scoop and vents of the seibon hood, its extremely audible
Example was me on the freeway where I may have been flashed. Sitting on 100km (62mph) I had the guys behind me sitting in fifth, foot down and just screamed away from them without down shifting. And with the way the power is delivered I really cant see going much past this level being fun as DD.
Also another good point I have found, and dont know if this is because of the kit or auto, but have spent a bit of time in a car fitted with the AVO unit on only 5 psi and that sometimes loses a bit a traction during gear changes. No problem at all in my car. But again not sure if that is because of auto or the SC.
It does chew more fuel though but that is to be expected.
But only done 100ish km in the car so far so gimme a little more time, and certainly a chance to hit the tracks again, and I should have a better write up
