I report back if any obvious difference
I'll be at Sebring on the 5th with Chin... We can compare if you are there the same day.

I'll try to dyno the .2 3RS at multiple Miles... I haven't seen any noticeable difference after 500 miles... but who knows. Clearly it's possible to limit these items slightly in the computers... so could be.

Best Regards,
Dave

I'm guessing it is 2years. or 20000 km's.
There is a separate interval for track usage.

Thought you drove a manual .2 GT3 or do you own both?

I traded the .2 GT3 Manual in earlier last month, now awaiting the .2 3RS, scheduled to arrive end of December, with PECLA Delivery scheduled for 1/25.

They were also going to replace the front lip spoiler for me. When I called to make the appointment, they said they were going to do a software update and a TSB on one of the brake cooling things in the bumper. I didn't really question it.

And you're sure the "software update" wasn't anything related to the PCM and was truly a DME reflash? First I've heard of this, although I haven't had to take my car to the dealer yet.

I just picked up my car from fixing an oil leak and there is no software update available on my car according to the dealer. What is this TSB on the brake cooling, can you share the description on the receipt?

No, I'm not sure. I can look at the paperwork.

Sure, I'll take a look at the paperwork when I get home from work.

Any update?
I just turned 1000 miles, changing the oil.

I heard from ACI the same thing about ECU.

Heading to Barber on Friday!!

Hoping for good weather!

Not to insult anyone but this is hogwash - zero changes to ECU mapping.

I’ve had mine since 11/17, 3500ish miles so far and had two oil changes done so far and haven’t had a software update nor did I notice a power difference
