South Aussie. Are there any other SA-ers that use this forum?

OK just to clear up the confusion: 1. Car is cold, rev limiter kicks at 7200 (I thought it was meant to be 6200) 2. Car warms up .. 3. Car is at optimum temp, issue starts happening after hitting lift twice 4. Switch car off. 5. Car is at optimum temp, issue starts happening after hitting lift twice 6. same as 4 7. same as 5 etc etc Im in SA by the way.

OK cool. Will mention all these things to the service centre. Hopefully this time they will fix it.

Got a service coming up this week and I have reported the issue for them to fix. I just took the car for a bit of a spin. To answer your question northy, the limiter kicks in at about 7200, doesnt seem like the hi-cam has kicked in yet. Correct me if I am wrong, but I remember that it used to kick in at about 6200 when the car was new.... Something is not working... could be a sensor or fuel. Sometimes, it is not until I hit lift twice that this issue shows its self,andit isnot until I turn the car off, andback on again that it is ok again, for two lift hits only, then the issue is back again!

OK, will give it a go. Where do I find the instructions for that?

Hi Guys, Seached but couldnt find my post a while ago regarding issues with acceleration,mainly when the car hits lift it doesnot always surge forward as it should, also, there is a 'hesitation' as lift kicks in, almost like a stall. This only happens when the car has warmed up, on the way up to optimum temperature, the car functions normally. I have just noticed one thing in the last week, the rev limiter that stops you hitting lift when the engine temperature is too cold is not working! I am starting to think that there is simething seriously wrong with the ECU, what do you guys reakon? Enyone heard of anything like this?

G'day. I'm another one from SA. Not many sportivo's around but I normally get a smile from the driver if I see one. Australia day I saw a sportivo at the start of the Australia day cruise. not sure who it and hoped meet them but missed the opportunity. Do you guys belong to a club, might be time for me to join one. Regards.

Hey OZ, Yes that was me on Park Tce on friday night. I saw the thumbs up. Cheers! As for the other Red Sportivo, was that you parked on the western end of Davenport Tce at wayville? A friend of mine has an XR8. We are pretty even up to about 100 Km/h unless there are hills or the weather is hot - then I am toast. The XR8 is not good on the twisties though. A meet sounds like a plan, i'm in. Organ

Hi all, Oz_viking, have not seen you around yet. Seen a couple of sportivos getting around, another red one like mine in the eastern suburbs and a silver one kicking around glenelg. Thought I would let everyone know that if you line up a new hyandai Tibrion or the new XR8 or Mini Cooper S and think twice, don't.

Silver? I have seen one frequenly travel west down Henley Beach Rd from town after 5pm. Will keep an eye out for you, I will probably go for a run down Anzac hwy on sat night so I will look out for you.

Excellent. Not so many around in SA, but when you do see one you always get a cheeky smile back from the driver.

Hello, Any other South Australian Sportivo owners out there?
