Yes, sure why not.

He left me the manual so when I'm halfway bothered I'll read through it and figure out how to graph my revs etc...

the apexi RSM handy piece...

removes speed limiter but also keeps track of 0-60 20-80 speed times,
and then distance times too

It was only kept secret for a week! Wasn't telling anyone till I actually had the car in my posession which was only last Fri night.

You never gave me a taste of Mivec, you only drove me over to my apt. in a 30km zone in UL! :D My first taste of Mivec was when I bought it :twisted: No, what I said was I probably wouldn't buy one because you said I'd have to go over a certain speed to achieve it, and I'm not into speeding. But I know realise you can still achieve it while not going that fast.

I won't be using it much, and to be honest, I love the sound, not the speed it puts on the car. If a 1.8 had a mivec engine, then I would've bought that.

No nothing much done to it at all, which is the way I wanted it. I can do my own stuff to it. Very loud :D Apexi induction kit, RSM kit and stripped out boot, fancy gearnob and radio, that's it really.

Yeah I totally agree - when I got mine I was like "wow, this is kinda cool - but nah I wont use it much"

that lasted 2 days.. keeping in the mivec zone becomes like a sport, mind you we don't condone speeding, so keep it on the track.

Oh I dunno guys, I actually can't afford to mivecing it all the time with the price of petrol nowadays... :roll:

Thanks soc and misterbishi, I'll brag at show and shine! :lol:

My sunburn is very sore to lie on, inconvenient, because it's on both arms, and also I have flip flop shapes on my feet! :D

Thinking about it, but doesn't that also mean it eats up more petrol when driving her harder?

You don't need to a remap to get decent consumption figures, driving style will largley dicate how you use fuel. I recorded 37MPG (95 RON) over the weekend - I haven't seem better from any FTO I've owned. I got 11MPG from the last tank of fuel in the VR-4 so the FTO figure was a nice surprise.
