Talking Diffrent moods for car :)

i noticed this before i had the charger and i wonder if anyone had this problem. some days my car would feel light and strong...and pick up reallly nice and quick...then somedays it will feel slugish...like it had a couple of beers lol

i know it has to do with the temp and enviorment, but is there a way to prevent this from happening? will a tune take care of that?

i found that it happened more with the TL than other cars i drove.....


it doesnt happen any more....well you guys know why

Our cars respond hugely to climate differences. (temp, humidity, ect)

You could make it run cooler with the Mugen Thermostat, Mugen Fan Switch, and Mugen Radiator cap.

Out of curiousity, where do y'all shop around to get these Mugen items? Ebay's an obvious choice, but I'm just wondering if there are other places I should be looking at as well.

Thanks

This is the one car that I haven't really noticed this with. My previous Integra's and RSX suffered from this. With the TL only a little when it's really humid out otherwise it feels the same.

Hot Alabama summers suck for the CL, CAI didn't help much.

yeah but i found that our cars did it more....like it use to be reallllly good for a day or two then all of a sudden boom it back to a beer belly lol......other cars do not do this as much.....maybe some sensor of something....i am wondering if we get a piggy back system if that would of changed it....

i think it may be because or engine bay gets to hot? what u guys think
