Yes. After I made the above post I considered that. In the beginning I thought the light spring tension on the gas pedal made it more difficult than usual to co-ordinate my launches but your suggetion holds a lot of merit. |

The combo of DBW, Denso DBW voltage settings, soft/high clutch engagement, and non mechanical clutch all lead to that "vague" feeling you describe.. Throttle controllers may help a bit but id say a custom tune + clutch pedal adjustment would minimize most of the wierdness.

By nature, despite the response, there is a very small amount of movement before the controller actually moves the throttle plate at idle.
I've observed this during logging with the EcuTek software. |

Am I the only one who finds the throttle way too sensitive for normal driving? From a standstill I sometimes spin the wheels inadvertently, especially when taking a turn.

Adding the Perrin Crank Pulley helped that out quite a bit for me (though I may have also gotten used to it a bit too). I noticed an immediate difference after I put it on, the engine feeling like it can rev up quicker. I am sure any of the crank pulley's out there would likely give the same thing.

If you're any thing like me you've driven a lot of manual transmissions in your life. What I've had to intentionally do these last several weeks is get out of my comfortable old habits and go back to basics in driving and work at it instead of doing it "marginally o.k. I've noticed a marked improvement. In fact I just got back from my evening drive and since I've made a concentrated effort I'm much happier with my performance. I'm thinking I just allowed myself to get a little too relaxed and sloppy. |

That clutch take-up point is extremely irritating at times especially in a quick response situation where your muscle memory remembers a particular clutch takeup point and nothing happens in this till the last few mm.
I am giving myself time to adjust but someday I might just go ahead and change the take-up point. @akyp: Do you think the reason you find the throttle too sensitive because you end up giving too much revs due to the odd clutch take-up point. |
