Having said that, I do LFB on both my MAZDA SUV's on the CX5 and engine management light popped up. Took it back to Mazda, they stuck their gizmo on and were stumped.... then eventually asked.."do you LFB? When I said I did, they explained the computer gets a bit confused when accelerator and brake function at the same time. Anyway the re set it and it hasn't happened again since. tomo and LeeM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 19September, 2020 Report Share Posted 19September, 2020 Someone else told me that happened to them in a Mazda or Toyota @Niko Bloody computers 🙄 I 'LFB' in anything auto, and when I drove that first 996 tip it freaked the owner out a bit when he noticed...or it was me driving it a lot faster than he'd ever driven the thing. Maybe I shoulda slowed down...naaaah 😁 I've tried it in my old manual coupla times but can't get the hang of it.

I spent so much time trying to transition this skill from karting but I couldn't make it faster than right foot braking. Congrats on the 996 @tomo , need some pics!

Pressure adjustment for each car required. I have pushed my missus into the dashboard a few times, jumping from the Old Boxster and into the CX7. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted 19September, 2020 Report Share Posted 19September, 2020 Tomo's new family addition. Mate, that looks sensational. Congratulations once again. Still think you'd look better in a Cayman, but that's a pretty good runner up. JWM, tomo, luzzo and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luzzo Posted 20September, 2020 Report Share Posted 20September, 2020 Looks in great condition @tomo. The best way to really get to 'know' your car is by hand washing it. Has a great stance. It looks like it is lowered. Sitting nice and tight over the wheels, I like that. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
