Here's the car when I first bought it looking 'nice';

Note even my first number plate accentuated the problem, making the paint look even more creamy. Especially in full sun.

I am very happy with the result, but for the past six months I've been wondering about a splash of black at the back. Either black exhaust tips, black small spoiler or diffuser. Not sure yet.


mmm, I reckon carbon diffuser and boot lip spoiler would set the back end off really well :D

Brief up-date guys after the cruise on Sunday.


Unbelievable!

'S#' is so sharp now. Bottom end has increased as seen on the charts but also top end just keeps going. I tagged the redline in fourth at one point as it got there so easily. The car feels just so fit.

Economy also continues to amaze me with the car returning 10.2 l/ 100km for the day of a mix of cruise and enthusiastic hills driving.

I now use 'S' around town as 'S#' is too sensitive but ideal when you're going for it.

Very happy!
Michael.

...what's 'I' mode... :D

'I' hasn't been touched. Just in case wife ever drives it.

I've asked Sean re patch availability and just waiting on return email. I'll let people know what he says.

If I wanted to use 'I' mode I would have bought a Toyota Camry.

Yup! Got the Toyota Camry V6, or the Aurion as they call it in Australia. It's the weekend family car. But if anything at least it's not a remark I pulled out of thin air.

It is a good point about the drive by wire throttles after a tune, when tuned up they adjust the butterfly valve so it takes less pedal press to get power but this can make it a sensitive beast especially in peak hour hour or cruising as u can get a bit of power surging happening.

This is where SI drive is pretty cool as u can have a less aggresive tune for s mode so it is good for cruising but when u need some ray grunt s# comes into its own.

Cheers
