The car was pretty stock when i bought it but who knows could of been tuned and returned back to stock half assidly?

Just wondering if anyone has any kind of outlook on this.

Car is being driven with ABS removed as well so its not a traction control related thing or anything, had a pro driver hop in for some fun runs and he noticed it too and then drove around the car avoiding clutch kicks.



Also after quite a few hot laps got a flickering oil light, oil level ok but also hard to judge since im sure it can read high on the stick from sloshing around.

Any kind of thing I should be aware of on that? Assuming I may of just gotten the oil really dang hot and she was low on pressure, I killed it and parked up after that. Car seems fine now. I plan on dropping the pan this week.

If car is ecutek tuned I'd say tuner has activated flat foot shift feature, whan you clutch kick it won't let the rpm increase of current rpm.


Fix will be to disable flat foot shift feature in tune or at least disable it on one or more of the map me des if you want to clutch kick to get wheel spin


FFS is engaged if throttle is over 85 percent and you press clutch


Flickering oil light is a worry it means oil pressure is dropping below about 3 psi.


It's just a simple pressure switch it doesn't go through ECU. So if that's real and pressure switch is not broken you oil pressure is dangerously low


I'd assume your running an oil cooler and at least 5w30 or 10 w40 oil and you oil temps are less than about 120C max if not I'd check that out asap before you need a new motor
