Benny Member 1,869 Member For: 21y 2m 20d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 26/10/12 08:40 PM Share Posted 26/10/12 08:40 PM Z2TT,I assume the car isn't brand new. I would suggest disconnecting the battery over night to clear the cars memory. This will make it forget any previous driving habits. Reconnect it the following morning and go for a drive. The car will learn all your habits and you may find it is more responsive. Another quick thing to do would be to complete some maintenance on your boost solenoid by spraying some WD40 in it. This will ensure the solenoid is opening and closing correctly as they can get a bit sticky over time.A few mods and tuning will make a huge difference to the car regardless of the above, you'll have trouble getting traction anywhere under 60kph I'd say.Benny.
