@KiwiCarLife hey first I want to say love the videos! Secondly I want NZ kflash to tune my cl9,I see that they do tuning no matter location,but was wondering what's the best route for getting it done being a live in the U.S. ? Thanks
Sounds very nice, happy new year! Can't wait to see what videos you'll make this year :)

I live in the UK and I had a ep3 type r what doesn't come with an lsd. Then I got a fn2 championship white edition what comes with the lsd and cornering difference was insane. It was the difference between understeering into a bush and being slingshoted around the corner.

Great video as always. It would be interesting to compare the difference between the performance of this tune to the one you can get from Spoon. I think the only difference is Spoons tune is 5000 VTEC engagement, with a raised 8800 RPM. Im still trying to decide which tune I want for my CL7R 🤔

@@CL9k24a3 yeah, I know but that is not the problem... The car pulls strong and throttle response is very nice. I want more, of course, but understanding the limitations of my almost stock engine (only reflash and intake) it actually have a very nice punch. The problem is that is not always the same response like in a throttle cable. Like 10-20% of times, the car responses laggy, like if it would be a turbo engine, especially when you floor it. If you are refined driving, almost always response like it should, but it piss me of when you want to be a little hooligan and the car seems is having an asma attack for a moment . It really feels like an ecu/inyection thing
