last week's addition.... pivot 3 drive....

i've been hearing good comments about this little gadget....... one that does nothing to the vehicle's power output except to sharpen or to mute its throttle response..... 

this is akin to a quarter-turn throttle for race bikes.... where a little goes a longggggg way

being the impatient kind, i was trying to get my hands on one..... albeit at the right price.... cos when it was first launched, the market price was more than S$500??? recently i've seen prices hovering around S$420 (with installation) and S$398 (cash and carry).....


before this, there are other similar products out in the market.... but those were mainly non-adjustable...... 

one advantage of the pivot 3 drive is that drivers can choose the throttle response they desire.... i.e. economy, normal or sport ......why though? well well if your mother were to drive the car during the weekends, u certainly wouldnt want her to be using the SP7 setting right? 



so over the weekend, i took the chance to try it out...... i think although the price isnt really that cheap, it does make driving more fun in a certain way..... especially getting wheelspins when trying to move off the line.....
