I think I'm going to wait until mid-late May when there's a big JConcepts race and a lot of the factory drivers come out. I used to race with them (and beat a few) when they were just sponsored drivers.

Gonna discreetly ask around for a discount/deal and setup tips.
sounds good.

electronics are the stuffs cost the most initially.. it'll be great if you can get a good deal on them...

mr.alcheng- there is a vsa (kinda like VDC) software re-program recall on my '12. the issue is the slip threshold is set too high for when cheap dumbarse mofo's buy junk tires like falken, and the car slips too much before the system is triggered.

with my DWS in the winter, and RE760's in the summer, VSA RARELY turns on. i dont want honda lowering the threshold as it will interupt me while the car is going through a fast turn or something. i have no tpms in my summer set and this prohibits vsa to be turned off.

so im going to hold out as long as possible. unless ofcourse, honda wants to pay for my Z's steering lock.

That's crappy to hear, Ken. Very strange and lame that you can't turn VSA off if you don't have TPMS installed (did I read that right?).

See if you can get Honda to install one of their ESCL that won't crap out on you

It's not installed yet. There was a scratch in one of the side pieces, and when I ran my thumb over it, a piece fell off leaving a hole. She is getting some of that putty you recommended so we can fill the hole before painting that piece. The install will then follow

yah, vsa can not be turned off when tpms error light is lit. it's very cumbersome cause most folks have winter sets that dont run tpms due to extra cost. fit folks are mostly poor. i see threads that make me sad sometimes. but anyway, yah, it's a stupid safety feature.

sounds like ms.pints all for this weekend!

I hope it's not Honda thinks the OEM tires is too cheap for the value of its VSA...

Sucks that the VSA cannot be turned off.... less fun for motoring...

hahaha, the dunlop junk that comes with the car isn't too nasty. it's no performance tire, but they work better than some of that falken crap people buy.

cracks me up when some poster complains their tires did not last 40K miles. im like holy f-king hell, if any of my tires lasted more than 20K miles i'd be like and i can't dance. this is how i dance lol

yah, the good part is that my current setup doens't activate vsa unless im launching the car. i hardly launch in my dd driving so it's okay.
