Is your FD the same?
Hey guys, today I was driving my FD and noticed at low RPM, my FD seemed a little rough, and stiff in relation to gear shifts and the engagment of things. But at higher RPM such as 3-4000rpm everything is so smooth! I know the FD doesn't like to be driven slow, just curious to see if anyone elses FD does the same?

I dont own a FD quite yet but to me it sounds like you may want to check your sparkplugs....maybe their starting to go bad or just carboned up. When have you changed your plugs?

my tuned FD doesnt like to go slow one bit, if i put too little on the accelerator it'll hop a bit or hiccup, if i put too much well im gonna launch into the guy in front of me. i have to apply enough to where she runs smooth and tranquil, nonetheless i ordered new spark plugs this week for this reason and because its been a while.
what gear do you drive in slow traffic? i keep it on 3rd
