could be time to tell your g/f to GTFO. Cheap weight reduction. Not only is it free, but it keeps $$ in your pocket from spending on her. Now you can get real wheels.

Some days my car feels a LOT quicker than others. It's actually quite substantial where one day my car feels very quick, and other days I wonder why I bought it because it feels kind of sluggish and I don't even feel much of a vtec kick.

I'm no genius on this issue but wouldn't temperature and humidity play a factor in the performance of the car?? Just a thought.

maybe the computer constantly adjust to your way of driving so it feels slow when you want it fast but has been driving it slow for a while.
