Do you have to reset the ECU after installing the Ztube? Will it make a difference?

You don't have to reset the ecu after a z-tube, but it doesn't take long so why not?

1st Gen Coupe Vs Sedan. Which will win?

Sedan is lighter and slightly more aerodynamic, but more power loss in transmission. Same engine and all. Which will win in a real race? And can someone provide an explanation? Thanks. Im just curious

^Trying hard not to call you an idiot right now.

Sedan is slightly lighter.
IDK about more aerodynamic... where did you get that info???
More power loss in transmission??? How in the WORLD did you come up with that nonsense? It's the same transmission!
That is provided you're talking about the same transmission (assuming both AT)
AT coupe vs MT sedan, MT coupe vs AT sedan, or MT vs MT are all very different (the latter being very much a driver's race)

^ If they had the same engine and same Tranny the Sedan would win since its a bit lighter.

We expected the sleeker body slip into airflow more efficiently, but in fact the Coupe's drag coefficient of 0.28 (with spoiler) is 0.02 up from the sedan. We also expected a lower kerb weight, but in fact the Coupe is 40kg heavier than the sedan despite the deletion of 2 doors and reduction of rear accommodation.
Seems like the Sedan IS more aerodynamic

^I bet that .02 is almost entirely the spoiler's fault.

Interesting information though. I would have thought the coupe to actually have a better Cd

technically its oem brilliant silver .
but i told em to mix it a tad more brighter . cuz i always felt it didnt pop enuff ..probably cuz it was original old paint.... idk ..

i hated that molding sooo much and now its gone forever !!!!

^I'm surprised you've managed to pull off the chrome thing so well. Even the door pilar covers (which I normally HATE) actually work with what you're doing.
It's time for new wheels though! Rays 19s body matched would be nice, or even chrome (as long as it's not some big ghetto looking wheel)

thanks bro ..
yeah i think so too .
i think its because ive now gotten rid off most of the black trim
and i dont have or want tinted windows ..except what i have now .
a strip along the top of the windshield for blocking the sun .
i was thinking a wheel with hyper silver or brushed spokes. with a chrome lip ..

sort of like these but not this specific style wheel ..


and yes i will NOT be getting big *** ghetto chrome wheels . i promise . lol ..

but all that will be later after my move ..
