I'm headed out to korea for about a month this weekend. When I get back I hope to fiddle some more with my meth kit before doing my tune.

With an RMW tune, I think the "Sport" button works like it was intended. When I engage it, gas mileage goes down Disapprove but my car is fun and fastDrive . When I disengage the Sport button and slap on the cruise control, I am back up to 35mpg+  Thumbs%20Up.
 
 
My car is more fun then ever.
 
Thank you Jan Hug

Hey on the subject of your R56 tune, do you have any surging/bucking under part throttle acceleration before you're fully warmed up ? My car's been acting a little funny since the tune, also my boss asked me about flames coming out my exhaust pipe ?

Did you drop the cat?
If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

only a single high-flow/metallic cat in the downpipe, rest of the exhaust is almost as straight & unobstructed as a pee shooter, so it's entirely possible ..

Looks like my boss has the better poker face, I'd told her I paid extra for the flames, but broke down today & questioned her on it ..
As for the surging, I'll have to break down & hook up my laptop & datalogger to see what's going on.

Wanted to give everyone a heads up, the handheld flash tool (so you can go back to stock, or update your tune), is on pre-order from Jan. If you want to get in on the pre-order (low price), get on the list now !!
If you don't have a tune yet, you can buy the flash loader (not shareable/unique to 1 car), but you'll also need to purchase a tune as well.

It's been a long time coming, Jan had the prototype with him at our tuning day this past summer. I'm stoked, he's got the pop & burble of the Challenge/JCW's unlocked now as well Thumbs%20Up
