      That has nothing to do with the clutch. It has to do with the delay in the drive by wire.
      Oh, oops, I read further down and found the rest. I wonder if there is a way to tune the ECM to adjust that?

      Theres no guarentee they will do it. i asked who was interested, so i could give them an idea of how many people were interested. Im trying to be as "business" as posible, and appeal to their "Fiscal" senses, AKA bull**** till i get my way lol.

      Hi--wouldn't suprise me atall , I think the difference may be attributable to drive by cable on the E-TECH II and by wire on the ECOTECH , here's a pic of the E-TECH II , it shows the plastic intake manifold and throttle body more or less OK.
      Etech uses drive by wire.
      Not on the Aussie 2009 GM/Holden Barina TKO9 with the E-TECK II 16V it don't (Chevy Aveo5 body and trim).

      Interested, but need more info as expressed above.

      Would there need to be a Group pre-pay or will we buy when kits are ready?

      Dunno that they will , unfortunately with only 20 million people in total in Aus we're not a major sales target for anything much so we tend to get the left overs a bit.
      There's been some talk about a 1.8 and should that happen + if they keep the 1.6 I would guess maybe then , we also don't get the 1.4 or the 1.2 .
