During testing we identified a firmware bug, the firmware being largely the same between the two models (as you all probably know, since people swap them). While a firmware self-update isn't particularly difficult, it's easier for us to do it here.
We have been working with several autocross customers on this specific need, and will hopefully be putting out an extra autocross-specific tune that emphasizes handling just a little bit more in sport +. Controllers will come preloaded with the base file but you will all be given access to any...
This is the primary goal in the Sport mode! We work on controlling weight transfer in every application, and we are very satisfied with the results so far. Dive and body roll are two factors that contribute the greatest amount of discomfort, so we work on remedying that first.
I hope you appreciate the difference! If you have any other specific information on the current feel that you'd like to relay to us, let me know! While we do have data, every driver is different and more data is always better.
If anyone thinks they might know someone local to our shop (Jessup, MD) who would be interested in contributing to the ongoing tuning, please reach out! (You can tag me here or shoot us a message through our website). While we have done local work on the ITS tune, we have also done a lot of...
Wanted to pop in with a quick update, now that the engineering team is back from SEMA and has been working steadily on fine tuning. If you've kept up with posts on Civic forums, you might see that we've been working with a few customers to improve comfort of the tune. We learned that while our...
Unfortunately, our engineer on this product was out this whole week for a medical emergency. I hope to have an update for you once he’s back in the office! We have shipped out the Civic equivalent, but ran into a quick final tweak for the Integra, which was sidelined with the engineer out. I’ll...
A sneak peek into our development process:
As you say here, it's something we have toyed with, but it is true, our goal is always to create a system in which tuning is possible but largely unnecessary. In fact, our founder created the concept of DSC controllers while racing early Porsches with...
It's something we have talked about quite a bit (and the main engineer put a good amount of testing time into). We are unsure of the interest in the market, so this is useful info! I'll pass the interest along. Definitely a future possibility.
I would argue the tuning software is largely user-friendly! The "tuning academy" is also very robust.
Just for everyone's reference, we hope to ship before the end of the month (hopefully much sooner).
