So, I got a new RX-8 a few weeks ago. I've only managed to get 620 miles on it so far and some a-hole ran into it when it was parked on the street last night.... and didn't leave a note or anything.
Man, I'm pissed. |

Kevin,
I'm pretty fearful of chips in general and the "tuning" they talk about when they re-flash... I don't think I would touch much of the aftermarket stuff out there, and I specifically looked for one that was very stock.. but I've heard so many complaints about the traction control and the people on the internet claim that the car is better without it. I did not know about the bi-mode traction control... I mean I did know that it inhibits the motor and the brakes at the same time, but I did not realize that the switch only defeated part of it. That makes so much sense. Thanks for educating me. I promise to stay away from re-programming the car if it helps you sleep better. And Ironically, the car came with really fresh blizzaks on it and I've been shopping for summer tires this week. |
