Did you realise that there is practically NO room to uh 'tap' in the FTO...at all....anywhere
But i guess at the time brain #2 was thinking not #1 - real shame we can't think with both at the same time...

I took it to a shop my mate works for...Used to take the V8 there before track days etc! No idea what they did (I really am clueless with injected motors) but they fiddled with something because when I took off, my throttle response was enough to make my heart skip a beat, and I can now actually reach 100 (and beyond shh) on an uphill freeway...Pretty stoked!!

Any FTO shouldnt have any problems reaching 100 in any circumstances, probably just gave it a really good service, changed fuel filter and a few other things that probably havent been changed in a while on the car.

Hahahahaha! Like I said...NO, I AM NOT A DRUG ADDICT.

Well I now have an evo fuel pump installed...Maybe that has something to do with it? I'm getting a free-flowing air intake done in the coming weeks to accompany that pod...Hopefully that works in sync with the new pump and I can take on a corolla at the lights!

Possibly tightened the throttle cable, they loosen in older cars if not checked ;)
I fix cars.
