Re: Sprint Booster - A "Must-have"!
Got mine today.
First of all, a technical disclaimer. I know it doesn't add horse-power. That it's just removing the adaptation/non-linearity of the pedal range.
Basically, it feels like a completely different car. It's hard to describe, but the basic feeling is that the power is in your foot - like you have authority.
It was really easy to install, but a bit freaky the way the whole pedal assembly just kind of falls out, but it's easy to get back together. I have to check mine out again because when I turn the wheel lock to lock, something in there is taping/touching the extra cable. Have to do something with that - any tricks/suggestions, or just let it hang in there and hope it's all good?
Anyways, best mod yet, took less than 10 minutes, used a 10mm socket on the nut and a screwdriver to pop off the nut-cover.
The car just feels farking FAST. Like I expected it to be when I first got it. Feels like a big V8 in there. A lot more controllable. You WILL notice a difference and if you always felt like you were waiting for this car to go fast, you WILL like it. It's more like it wants to go, and you're just holding it back - it feels like a fast car.
THIS is what I always wanted this car to be.
edit: First of all, forgot to say Many, Many Thanks again for arranging this - everything went VERY smoothly!!! Secondly, the install is pretty easy - I'm a completely novice, mechanically, and I found it pretty easy. Just go slow, don't force anything, if you feel resistance, just nudge and let the parts guide you - it kind of just 'falls' out after you get it loose. Getting it back in was the only hard thing for me. Any tips there TimeLord?
