Economy sucks.
Just about everyone is hurting in sales - the uncertainty of tomorrow keeps people sitting on the cash.

No really a great thing, we've had numerous restaurants close around our area in the past month. Places where you'd always have a 20minute wait to get there no matter what time of the day - they were busy.

As for STi vs. X sales.... I have yet to see an STi off the the suby lot in GA.
I have seen a couple of other X's and quite a few active X owners on the forums.

As MrFred stated, there is a dedicated topic in the EcuFlash forum (in fact I think there are more than one). But for the Noob's:

You cannot change the target AFR under closed loop conditions (light load / cruise) without changing the output of the narrow band 02 sensor or simulating the narrow band 02 sensors output (I believe both have been done on 8's and 9's at this point, the latter via rom patches, the former has been done many times on ecomodders)

The other option is to modify the tune via reflash tools to drop the ecu into open loop under cruise conditions and tune the afr directly for lean cruise.

Once the shop X reaches a stable configuration I'm sure we will explore both options, starting with open loop cruise.

It's much preferred to adjust the closed loop operation than trying to tune the car to run at a leaner AFR on partial throttle. Less parameters to mess with. In any case, as Dyno4mance stated, there currently are no OTC options for the X.

You do have a pedal for your left foot. It's called left foot braking. Use it wisely.

Show me the stats to back that up, Ive looked them up and the 8-9 is outselling the X by about 50-100 cars a month.

I haven't been able to find them...Mitsu doesn't list any Evo sales for any other months than the ones I have in the original post. If you can find the other months, please pass them my way and I'll edit the first post

Um did you not read the article or past articles? Every month of EVO X sales have been up 120-140% over 2007 which were EVO IX sales.

umm evo 9s were pretty much sold out(If not completely) by july 2007 so that should answer your question. 2006 was evo IX sales.
