+1
I am not a fan of reviews that are overly exaggerated either. It makes people buy a product with unrealistic expectations.

im waiting to be driven in a ,helix and jb2HHHR(or HHR) car.

i have been in most other popular tunes and i have to say they are all very smooth. that goes for AA Xede, Vishnu Xede, PROcede 1.47,v2, JB2/JB2HR
the power is still very smooth in all of these, i think the 1.47 the most different compared to all of them.

headsnapping NO, powerful,pulling,rush and quick YES. that goes for most tunes out there right now.

get into a AP tuned STI, ull understand backbreaking, necksnapping terms, but would at the same time understand the difference between them in quickness, rush of smoothness, and speed.

Is there anyone with an "xi" who has tried the SSTT? Please..anyone? I 've been trying so hard to find out...anyone?

Day 2 SSTT:

Ok it's definitely coming out it's shell. Definitely noticing better throttle response. I was able to break traction in second, this was after shifting from first. I think I powered shifted. Either way I can see the potential for this tune. Not much else to report.

Day 3 is where it plateaus

when you take off the sstt and re-install it a few days later, does the ecu need to adapt again? due to the canadian winters when i installed it the first time, i didn't really push it as hard as i like...hopefully, i didn't subdue my sstt because of this...

Meet up with Jeff this afternoon and got my SSTT, great guy

Power is power, I went in with realistic expectation, so overall I am very happy with results. Taking a long trip tomorrow, should get better hopefully. Jeff said the difference would be even more noticeable with race gas. I am really looking forward to the SSTT stage II add on Jeff mentioned.

For the price and gain. Really worth every penny, most hassle free mod I have ever done in any car.

Fast is all relative. MKIV Supra used to serve as my daily beater, even on pump gas, it was dramatic, on race gas setting easily 600rwhp. I have driven R34 GTRs here in SoCal, and countless fast cars. All my friends have seriously fast cars. Even my NSX is no joke either. Same power as E92 M3 while weight in at 700+lbs less.

With addition of SSTT, IMO, this is more like what I was expecting for 335i from the factory. I admit my expectation was unreasonably high. However, for under $50k, IMHO still the best brand new car money can buy. Very happy with the car overall, just wish it is a few hundred pounds lighter and more top end power.

nicee^^^^ Jeff is a really cool guy.

markymarc1979 · 03-14-2008, 07:15 PM

Don't see too many Skylines up here in Canada. In fact I've never seen one in my life. That's one car I've always admired. What has to be done to those cars to bring them into North America?

Day 4 SSTT: Mission accomplished. I was able to break traction in second at about 5000RPM. When I saw that light come on the dash, you should have seen the smile on my face. I couldn't be happier with this tune.
