FCuK yeh! Just got word that my MIVEC is working.... car is revving past the 6k Mark ... can't wait to go pick it up from Joe & Ricks

Had them check a few other less pricey things first off, solenoids etc.. but it turned out to be the alternator as I thought ... big Thankyou to Sam for the alternator

Awesome stuff.... sooooo glad to finally be rid of the nasty rev limiter!

Now Time for some performance upgrades

Air Intake parts will be arriving in a few days.. then for the extractors & exhaust

i've never had it working in my car pretty much since I bought it ... which is why I'm so psyched to finally have it running properly

Bah, Mivec is over rated

FtoSam · Post by **FtoSam** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 11:17 am

pfft.. Typical GR drivers comment....

Even after a turbo, im still sad to loose my mivec engine for a GR...

Mivec FTOs are the only way to be... they sound horny as!

Ben I must admit, Mivec is pretty sweet, mainly for the sound it scares a few people when they hear it. My old GR had a sweet sounding exhaust but my GPX sounds so good with Mivec. I must admist though I can't really feel much a performance difference...but that might be because I drove a R33 for a couple of months in between the GR and GPX.
All in all who cares if its a GR or GPX, in the end they both have the best badge of all......FTO
