I have been trying to figure you what everyone been meaning by ICE mode now i realize it. I used to left foot brake all the time in my WRX to try and keep boost up. and some of my habits from that have carried over to FR-S and i noticed that too. I havent read on the forum yet but has anyone pulled the ABS fuse to see if that helped?

Pulling the fuse will result in brakes locking up and wonky distribution. It is not like driving a car with no abs, it's worse. These modern cars are just not meant to be used without it.

What about a cat back?

Simmons

Scooby South · 03-21-2013, 10:35 PM

maybe... didn't have one available at the time, plus the cat is in the header... and the overpipe combo is just a straight pipe... waiting for the final revision of Nameless's Longtube... and a Cat in the overpipe with a resonator... should be good.. for sound at that point..

Scooby South · 04-09-2013, 04:59 PM

on course shot.. Thanks Craig Wilcox

also got the mount ready for my Tablet so I can enjoy Solo Storm just waiting on my mounting disc for the dash with no vision impairment..

AX_FRS · 04-10-2013, 08:18 AM

Cool, so I guess you aren't planning to take video with the tablet? That seems like a fun app to use.

Scooby South · 04-10-2013, 08:23 AM

WIFI GoPro for that.. ^^^^ all integrated..

...or so I hope.. we'll see .. not the end all soltution right now..

How sturdy is the mount? It's hard to tell, does it attach somewhere other than just the suction cup at the top?

I just have mine in a case and stuck it the passenger back seat pocket. Surprisingly it stays very snug in there and doesn't throw off the accelerometer readings but a fixed mount would be better.

If you haven't talked to Mike at Petrel yet get the latest version of Solostorm, it has some more GoPro features and fixes. I'm interested to try out the video download feature and see how it works.
