It's all about perspective! I feel like a rally car driver in the SX4 and racecar driver in the BRZ. Should take me forever to get bored of either with this selection combo.

You say Visconti tune and I need to ask...

If someone were to have a stock frs/brz and you only visconti tuned it, how much 'positivity' would be added to the stock car? If you could please explain that would be great! thanks!

Throttle response was better, midrange had more pop, idle seemed steadier. The engine also sounded much better.

it doesnt matter who you tune through, just get a tune. it literally makes the world of difference.

- my torque dip is 90% gone
- I have a manual and driving in traffic is much easier. I can easily drive up to 20mph in 1st gear before i feel like i need to shift.
- its hard to explain but the car feels more alive
- rev match is on point
- I can be cruising down the highway at 70 in 6 gear. if I need to pass, I can shift to 4th and punch the gas making passing easier.

people ask "why get a tune", I tell them "why not. next to buying the car, tunning it was the best desicion ive ever made."

If I were to get a tune, will it breach my warranty on the car?

I assume it is very easy to flash back to stock if you have to bring the car in for an oil change or something like that?

Worst advice you get from anyone is this. It absolutely matters who tunes your car...

Yeah I researched EcuTek's website for dealers in my area. There are 2 about 1 hour away, but I am sure it is worth setting up an appointment.

Perhaps you could help answer these questions

It doesn't void your warranty, it allows the dealership to void any warranty claims resulting from the tune.

I don't know, I don't have a tune.

civicdrivr · 04-09-2013, 02:36 PM

It is easy to flash back to a stock tune, and I doesn't trigger the flash counter so the dealer won't be able to tell.
