Just an FYI that the warning light has not come on for 4 days now. Doesn't even flash anymore.

I'd like to check that out. Are you coming to the Ottawa meet on the 26th?

I am running on the 91/93 octane Visconti tune now and I gotta say it makes quite a defference. The car has noticable improvement in throttle response, power output, engine sound, and fuel economy(when driving like a nanny of course).

I love the extra 400 RPM too. Flogging the car, bringing it up to redline and shifting; when the car hits the next gear (2nd) it is in a better position in the powerband and you notice more of a jolt forward when dropping the clutch.

the change in engine sound was surprising to me. I didn't expect it, but now it sounds much more like I have a cold air intake (which I don't - not even a drop in filter)

I love this tune so far. Now I gotta try e85 soon!!!

Yep, same here. Could be due to my OEM wheels sitting right beside the car in the garage at night.

Also, car was dropped last weekend on Eibach Prokit. Wheel gap is much better now.

How does the Eibach Prokit affect ride and handling?

Sorry about all the questions, lol, but I'm very curious.

I ran the new wheels/tires last week to get a feel for the grip on the stock suspension. Loads of grip with the new tires, hard/impossible to break traction unless trying to be a hooligan.

Since installing the springs I have noticed a much firmer ride, but not harsh at all, just has more "feel". Very planted, corners very flat and the back end is a bit more tame as the ProKit spring is 50% stiffer overall but less-so on the rear, so more front bias than it previously had. Plus the wheel gap is just right. It only dropped average 7/8" on my car, but will measure it again after alignment.

My wheel/tire combo is square, not staggered as I am running 245/35s all around on 18x9s.

But looking at the clearance inside the rear wheelwell, you could easily run a 275 wide tire with the right offset. Would be too much tire for this car unless FI, but would look incredible from the ass-end.

Shhhhhhhh....!

you're making me want to spend money I dont have on the EcuTek license and Visconti tune, and I'm not very good at stopping myself from spending money on something when I know how good the product is....

Thanks for the tune update CBR600RR. Nice to hear there is a positive difference. Still have 10 months to wait for mine unfortunatley. Was it easy to install?

I will be calling in sick. So it's all good. Will not be driving on summer tires in the snow. Pretty amazing how winter refuses to let up.
