I thought I would give all of you an update on my drive by wire throttle from Formula Dynamics. I also have installed the springs as well, and lowered the car around 1”
I have posted about the spring earlier and raved about the transformation in the handling.
The drive by wire throttle is a very cool up grade. It makes the car much more responsive. I have tried the two programs and found the more aggressive one great however; you almost need to turn off the traction control on hard acceleration because it keeps interfering. The second program is much more progressive and better for street driving. It is still way more responsive than the stock set up. The power comes in smoothly but so quickly, the car feels faster and easier to drive. The car is easier to get off the line smoothly with out slipping the clutch as much. It was a lot harder before the upgrade, with the clutch engaging so high on the pedal travel and the accelerator having what felt like a non responsive first 1/3 of travel.
I had the dealer do the install, and after a call to Jeff they got the job done after around two hours. We also did the pre wire for the ECU if I go for that at a later date.
