Have any of you tried the full trottle shifting feature yet?

Discovered it the other day, it's a little addictive!

I dont know I haven't driven my one yet

not the lauch control, there's another

If you keep your foot planted when you change gear it does it again at 6500-7000 rpm depending on your setup. Lude-dude, we had the same tuner set ours up so it should be a similar config

so I can keep my foot to the floor and shift?

that would feel odd

My ECU was tuned by PAW as well. It sure is a quick way of burning through your clutch

So with full throttle shifting does the ECU set the revs to specific level?

Do you two have the CEL enabled as a shift light?

Yep, it's set to a specific rpm but the hondata limiter seems to bounce around a lot, it does the same with the 'launch control'

& yes, the CEL light does light up when it hits the limiter.

I've only done it a hand full of times, haven't had the stink of clutch yet. Did it on the bypass on the way to work this morning, 2nd - 3rd, got the bang from the unburnt fuel in the exhaust from hitting the limiter too. Good times

How are you 'accessing' the launch control? I'll be honest, I had no idea that the S300 even had these features

I only found it when revving my engine at someone in rage the other day. The s300 has a full throttle shifting feature. So, above a certain speed with WOT, when you dip the clutch and keep the throttle planted it drops your revs to what ever it's set at which will probably be about 6500rpm.

So you don't lose as much speed from a gear change, as Merlin said tho, your clutch probably won't like it much
