This worked for me. It will only get the recursive directories, because I can promise you, you don't want what is in the parent directory.....or maybe you do. NSFW

Are these the commands in MS-DOs? If so, my vista doesn't respond properly.

no "problems" so far that i am aware off.... except for the rev hunt issue at 1800rpm that maybe 50% of cars seem to get. which we can't fix and don't know what causes it.
it's just luck of the draw

I've been using S-Sport on my RA for about 6 months now. No problems, but I found you can't really use S-Sport for extended periods when driving "spirited". Creates too much heat.

The side effects on my car were that when using normal/Auto the gearbox won't change to up 6th gear until you reach 70km/hr (previously would change up around 58k/hr)

Also I get a rev "drop out" at 2600rpm, 4th gear on load, part throttle. But it instantly corrects itself.

Just wondering if you're 100% sure that your sst cooler is free of mud?

Just asking. Coz, I don't get it why you would get too much heat from s-sport mode if the clutches are clamping hard which prevent them from slipping which results to less heat.

Somebody clarifies it for me...

haha no i still have a muddy SST cooler, will fix that soon.

As for the heat. It doesn't just disappear, instead of it slipping and your clutches bearing it, the heat is transferred into the SST fluid.

You really have to be going for it though. I'm talking 20mins of straight up thrashing.

I see. I still wish that I would be able to flash mine.

If you shift at 3500rpm with probably 50% load, does it still jerk or smooth?

Sounds like there is still some mystery to be solved and room to improve this. Here is something to think about. Not only is the trans fluid getting heated up but engine oil too. Has anyone bothered with an oil cooler yet?

We're discussing that very thing here: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/09...ested-one.html

HI sorry i didn't see your post until now.

no I don't get any jerky shifts or low speed jerkiness. But my car is fully tuned on top of the S-Sport tweaks. All my shifts are awesome every time.

Actually i'm not sure if my car does any low speed jerkiness now, I haven't had that since I started re-flashing my ROM. But maybe I'm just used to driving the car.

One thing I did notice is don't change to S-Sport while on a hill. It doesn't engage properly and can sort of leave you hanging for a sec while it thinks about changing mode. It's not a massive problem, it's just I held up traffic for about 2 seconds while wondering why my car wasn't going any where. It sorted it self out once I got down to the flat part of the road.

So-Cal RA's can now get SSport

If anyone is interested in getting SSport (you can have your pick of B001 or B151, I went with B001 personally) let me know. I can forward your contact info/email.
It's done at a tuning shop in OC. Just letting people know it's available
