You really should go out there! Take it easy first time. I sure did... It's very humbling

sharkster,

Now imagine PSM with no throttle body shutdown.

Hehe I know what you mean. I remember driving up there I kept saying to you "OK man, I swear I'm gonna do it one more time"... Then it would make some other funky sound and I'd do it again and again.

Hehe. My garage is hella' ghetto. Tires all over the place. Bits of Porsches. Exhausts... **** everywhere. Interior trim and bits... Sound deadening. I've taken over....

Yes I do have some Rejex tho!

That's the ticket eh? I do wish it was an "on"/"off" switch you know? Instead of being "on" and then "off" but still "on" when it gets PMS and turns the PSM on again...

Hehe no kidding man. I think everyone saw us as red meat. Two powerful cars that had to be "beat" down on... It's ok though, we're n00bs and one day will become drift-kings like Tarzan.

I plan on doing so. I figure at least for me, it's better to be timid than gung-ho

You're so right about the PSM. It's great on the street and during nasty conditions don't get me wrong.. but with AWD already, I didn't enjoy the PSM kicking in and taking over....

Sil's car with a few more tweaks is going to be even more geared for the track. As it was, it's basically been set up for massive HP and straight line speed so it was really good to see him get out there.

PS Hunpin, that was nice of you to set me up with Chris!

Can't wait to join you on the track Alex!
Ah no worries man.. I was hoping you'd come up with Joan. There were plenty of digital rebels and 10Ds out there hehe

I'm so darn timid out there. It's going to take me some time, that's for sure.

Hehe thanks Andrew;P

When we went off, my other instructor was driving and was like "Ah **** I'm sorry, the damn PMS". I know it has AWD but damn it's not good off road, that was one rough ride lol...

Alex,
Ain't it great!!!!????
I have been tracking forever and I love it! I was very interested to see that you got "Low Brake Fluid" warnings as well. I kept getting them even though the fluid was topped up.
What is up with that? I couldn't figure it out!!!

It sure is Ken! I wish I had as much experience as you.. but I'll get there some day

You got it too eh? Well we have two things in common then... we both have upgraded brakes. What fluid were you using? I was using Motul, which has a higher boiling temp than the stock stuff. I keep thinking that the sensor is set to go off at a certain temp with the stock fluid in mind but other than that why are we both getting the warning? My instructor got it in his car too with his PCCB's and Motul...

Guys, I think there are old posts about fluid sloshing inside the resevior and sending a low fluid level alarm. Most said to ignore it.
