    just touch the positive and negative together.
    does the same thing in 2 seconds.

    or disco the + and turn the key on.

    it really makes no difference electrically.

    How much adaptability is there really?

    People are talking about shift points changing, but my current mystery is that sometimes my 530A will only shift at redline.
    Fun when out playing... lots less fun when trying to not wake neighbors when leaving for work in the morning.

    I suspect something else is going on with my car, but if I've trained it to be a race car full time, I guess its a possibility?

    the 530 auto will shift at higher rpms when cold in an effort to get everything to operating temp sooner...as for redline? you have a problem indeed.

    Default Shogun reset

    Gave it a go today. Changes did seem slightly different and I didnt seem to have to push the go pedal as hard. What I can say for sure is before I disconnected the battery leads, the OBC said 18mpg. I did a 60 mile roundtrip with mixed driving and its reading 22 now This may have more to do with fuel supplier, outside temp or humidity. Maybe its just karma.

    Yikes, mind you in traffic I used to get 16-17 out of my M50 after it'd thrown a piston.
