I certainly felt a big change - primarily in the throttle response. It comes with two levels of aggressiveness - do you know which one you it set to?

Glad you found it - I had trouble locating it as well. Look forward to hearing what you think of the DBW, I love the change it made on mine.

I don't know that this addresses all the issues you are having but regarding the valve: I had an issue with the car not starting strongly after refueling. Once the engine caught it would run weakly briefly before returning to normal. It turned out the valve was stuck open so we replaced it and...

Hi Simon - would be happy to let you do a test drive with mine but I am in the wrong country. If you ever come to Southern California though, you are welcome to come by. :)

Just installed the FD drive by wire and took a short drive. The change has moved me from slightly disappointed with the car to very happy. Most noticeable change for me is the throttle response - it's so much more responsive that it feels like a much faster car. The gear changes also feel...

That's interesting. I've driven them gransports both with and without the dbw and felt that those with were much more responsive and enjoyable to drive. I'll know later this week when i install mine. Personal preferences as to shift style and smoothness also play a part I imagine.

Assuming you mean the formula dynamic drive by wire, basically it is supposed to make gear changes faster and improve throttle response. I say supposed to because I've just purchased it but not yet installed it. Plan to this weekend. It is an electronic box which is wired into the existing ecu...

If you go for the gransport, the radio is not integrated as in the other models and can be pretty easily swapped out.

Sounds like the I've found the right part then. Thanks!

Do you happen to have a part number for the black wheel centers? I'm thinking of changing my wheels to black and those would be perfect. The ones I found online though are listed for the QP. Want to be sure that they will fit the GS. thanks!

So today I was out driving and got the "E" again. Best I can tell it is heat related. Had the car parked in the sun for a while. Got in and the temp read about 93f. AC fans started blowing slowly then about 4 minutes late they started blowing hard and about 5 seconds later the E came on. Maybe...

This mysterious E is very interesting. Mine came on again yesterday for no obvious reason....

Certainly could be that there is anther sensor that the ECU uses - maybe the mirror sensor is only for the dash temp display? In which case, it would certainly be likely that it doesn't output to the OBD2 port. Regardless, it seems to be a temporary issue, probably heat related as the CEL is off...

Had an interesting issue the other day. It was very hot (95f and hotter) I noticed the display showed 'E' instead of the external temp. Then I got a check engine light. I used an OBD2 reader to discover it was caused by a code for the ambient air sensor. I reset it and found a fairly...

Thanks for the report. I'm looking forward to trying mine out sometime soon.
