Wouldn't be too sure about that. You car will push under power. If you were trail braking to rotate the car, I don't think the tsc will be active. I am assuming you don't have a massive rear bar.

The tsc might actually be able to help, depending on your driving style.

i am not terribly offended by the announcer.

i had mine off and i was understeering like a ****. i was playing with the sawc setting (i.e., on vs off) i did one run with the asc off but sawc on and i felt the abs firing in the front right corner when turning hard. i turned it off for all my other runs.

No, I drive a silver VIII. I was working waivers when you two came in I think. You were with your girl and she had a dog correct?

My car always understeers mid corner, I think a trait of all these cars (maybe the X are different?). I only get oversteer when powering out of a corner or when braking getting in and you have to catch it.

Just got to work. I drove this morning from VA. The work took longer than expected but the result is absolutely sweet. I managed to put in EVERYTHING and go for a test drive by 9:30 last night. No check engine light or any power delivery problems. Sounded really good. Did not turn on the radio at all for the whole trip back

I've also overcome my fear of bridges, so I think I'll be able to make it to the next meet without hassle.

Hows your butt dyno feel with the upgrades? Not sure on the x, but with the ix, any cone filter upgrade throws off the maf

it's probably still a dog until it is tuned. i am sure you feel like it is super fast. wait until it gets dial in.

All intakes on the X also throw off the MAF readings with the exception of ETS and injen to some extent. The one I have, the ETS intake, comes with an adapter/flange to the stock MAF housing, so MAF readings are still on target. Restriction and soft pipes are the only things it gets rid of.

I can feel better power under acceleration in high RPM, lot less stuttering, but I guess most of the perceived enjoyment comes from the exhaust sound . Its so much more fun now. But I agree, once its tuned, it'll feel much better.

It amazes me how poor mitsu diagrams are... I went down to Slambrosio to order my new camber bolt and the guy can't gaurantee I'm getting the right one. I couldn't find the p/n on here, although I know I've seen it before. I had him order me the top bolt, pretty sure its right... Any of you happen to know that p/n?

Did you try asking JNZ by calling them? Their website even has a mitsu parts catalog up for browsing. Don't know if I'm allowed to post links here. But the option should be right on their homepage.

EDIT: sent you link by PM.
