[doo0T!doo0T!]

Chucked the bonnet on tonight, fits pretty sweet, much better than the one on the crx.

Also put in the S300 out of the crx and uploaded the stock ITR 2001 tune from SManager again. Instantly threw a knock sensor code, turned it off and cleared CELs and all of a sudden it's a different car.

It has made a world of difference, I think the knock sensor code was retarding the shit out of the stock ecu, now it's responsive, torquey and sounds crisp where as before it was a bit dull, flat and unresponsive.
Now it's behaving much more like the b-series-R I hoped for from the beginning.

I just hope the cold start issue doesn't show its ugly head in the morning, I am half expecting to see an o2 heater primary code so my fingers are crossed.
