I put the Stage 1 in today...
Was no big deal, no real issues. The worst is the auto learn. I was a little confused on it as the to 50mph and then come to a stop is fine, but the drive 40 and then 50% to WOT was a little fuzzy. Do you slow to a stop? How hard should you go I was at 90 or so on most of the 10 I did, did a few 40 to WOT and slowed to a stop. All in all other than my confusion it was about a 2hr job and about 30 miles of driving for the auto learn. I now can burn rubber in first gear, great new tires sooner LOL. I do see that the strut brace I ordered is VERY much needed!!!!! Torque steer is all but un-manageable under WOT. Was spookey at first, can manage it, but pray the brace shows up soon. If that dont do it, then I guess new struts and shocks, and lower the air presure in the front tires a bit. All in all a great improvement for 374.00. Had some fun doing it too! Did not use the new gasket as the old was fine (800 miles) and it is true there are only 3 screws holding the ECM (PCM?) on its mounting bracket not 4 as said on this list, or maybe the differance is date of manufacture. Anyway what I did today on my half day off. PepBoys has the G05 antifreeze so got a gallon of that and a gallon of distilled, 50/50 and used all but 1 gallon mixed. No problems with the radiator draining turn it counter clok and she runs. Well I am done for mods now, waiting on the strut brace and will live with what I have, at least till I change the oil at a 1000 miles...........
