They are basically asking everyone "what car is better" ? Very American to ask that, and all that does is instigate the stupid posts on the you tube comments section. Why do we need to compare them as the 32 and 34 in the video are completely different, and have very different build concepts. Both are very good in different ways, but not really directly comparable.

Well done to Dahtone on the electronic throttles, but I still have to ask, "why" ? Just to be different ?

DBW allows for idle control without the AAC valve, cruise control without a lot of extra plumbing, traction control, etc. You can also control transients a little better in theory.

I personally don't trust aftermarket ECUs to have good DBW code though, failsafes become much more important with DBW, if the throttle can fail open that's a big problem.

    • I thought about ditching it but I was worried my bonnet would sound like a 90's Swift GTi sub-filled boot. 
    • Have you found that you have to tighten your alternator belt once in a while? Mine has started to squeal again after the mechanic tightened it roughly a year ago and the engine starts up slow if I don't start it every day (think the starter motor is going out). It used to be if I don't drive it once a week I'd get a quick squeal on the belt but now it's every day or every other day. I might make a post of the start up sound.
    • I spent the entire of the long weekend going through my garage and I'm now, after 3.5yrs in this house, able to fit a car in. The garage is quite long and the back half has a high enough ceiling for a 2 post lift but it's going to just take too much space and I don't think I'd be able to get around the car if it was in the air. So, in comes the quick lift. It looks perfect. High enough to do most things, I reckon even getting a gearbox out would be doable.  Does anybody here have one? They're fairly cheap (~$3k) considering...  https://www.dtmtrading.com.au/product/quick-lift-portable-vehicle-hoist-3500-kg-worksafe-approved/ I'm also a bit of a non risk taker so I'd probably still use stands when under!  
    • Well now we all see it! I did the same. Then cut it out. Then melted half of it. Then discarded it entirely. So... you're in good company.
    • I just replaced the god awful, sagging, crunchy bonnet insulation. It's something nobody but I see but it's been at me for a while.
