I think the cars good for a 6.9 sec pass.

Im not after 0-100 but flexibility actually and I have tha nowt. Im using this just as a base line to measure the flash, so you guys can have some idea of what Im talking about. I dont drag people of course the cars not made for that. Not to mention its for lancer riceboys.


The 80-120 3rd gear passing acceleration is improved by a decent amount. Theres no difference til 5000rpm when the vtec shimmies ( read not kicks yo) in and then you get a constant surge to 7000rpm.

My review later. I got to drive the car some more. Sux to be me today :) :p

Sounds good.Do you reckon the reflash is worth the money?

sounds pretty good

How would could someone go about accurately measung the 0-100 and 80-120 (in 3rd) other than going on the track? I'd like to see stock and flashed times for comparison, but they'd need to be accurate, as I'm interested in how this mild flash pans out.

Has to be done on a dragstrip. It is not safe on the street and streets are not perfectly level anyway. Same thing with the circuit track, the straights are not usually dead level like dragstrips.

Thats a great idea :thumbdwn:. Order and install the flash and run the tests at your own expense and time. Instead of waitng and expecting others to do it for you at their expense, so you have an easy and risk free run. Sounds pretty straightforward. I'll look forward to your results so i can compare against mine. That is unless your full of shit which I suspect you are.

Dang thats harsh... I wasn't getting personal there - you don't know me, and I don't know you. We're all on the forum to be productive here. I don't think it's the place to make personal judgement on others like you have. I was only asking a question. I was NOT asking anyone (including you) to do these tests for me. I was asking for a method to do it accurately. I think you've mis-understood me and taken a swipe at me for no reason. Not very nice.

You kinda are, suntzu was giving his review on the mild flash of what he believes.

And you comment on how could someone be accurate without going on track or strip.

Suntzu also said approximately not exactly. He went out of his way to write out a review for all of us in HIS opinion of what he thinks it turns out to be so be greatful he did.

And yes taking it to the strip would be a good idea but maybe he didnt have the time yet to go with another stock euro owner to compare. Give the guy time he only got two days ago.

I'm planning to take my euro with the extreme kit to Willowbank next thursday night, so I'll have some accurate times.

Does anyone know if they give you a printout of 0-100k times as well as
400m times?

Has the exhaust noise been fixed yet though?

oh and I do agree with Cranial, he wasn't asking anyone to do it for him, just how to measure it more accuratly. Well that's how I understood it anyway.

The harmonics within the car are way down, it appears it was the header pipes vibrating against each other underneath the crossmember. A lot better outside too now, must have been also affecting the sound level at the mufflers.
Should be heaps better with the final production headers which are 15mm longer on the vertical to clear the crossmember more, as mine are vibrating occasionally depending on revs and gradient.

Just did a accurate check of a tank of mixed highway and town driving, averaged 8.2L/100k's.

Thanks for your review of the mild reflash. To me, the subjective experience is really important as I never drive my car on a racetrack for time.

Are you still going to do a more complete review later? I'd be interested to hear about the low-down torque response and also the difference in engine noise - especially with vtec at 5K...
