Guest Wingnut Guests Posted 18/01/08 10:09 PM Share Posted 18/01/08 10:09 PM I live in the act and im looking at spending about 2gs2gs might seem like a little, well it is compared to what some of these guys are spending on their toys, but you can get a lot out of your car that’s why we love them so much. Like some have said previously, do your research by looking through old threads and make your own decision. If you are looking for a step by step of what to do with each dollar you are not going to get it as there are far to many different avenues you can take. Also don't be afraid to pick up the phone and call one of the forums sponsors they are all great people and love talking about cars no matter what your budget.Good luck and keep us informed!!!

Aspects too often forgotten by too much focus on dyno graphs and numbers.Remember also that despite their best attempts to tell you otherwise there is neither one tuner nor any one system that is the RIGHT solution; horses for courses. A really good point raised by big Mick (MS700) some time ago is also relevant - you can have all sorts of power figures but how many other 'features' have come along from those tunes. For my money I have a conservative looking, extremely capable 'GT' with no unwanted 'features'.Enjoy! - the journey can be as much fun as the destination!Dingah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
