Cool, I'll speak to Christian in the morning....might as well get it all done in one go.

Is your ECU standard Gerry?? As far as I know you can just plug in an Evo 5-7 ECU and then you can ECUtek it, if you wanted!!??!!

I don't think it's exclusively a 4 thing Russ. They all have crank sensors, turbos and the other stuff.

Logan, it's supposed to have a 6 ecu and Gary reckons it has too so may be ecutek'd already. Apexi would be nice, if I can find a used D-Jetro at the right price. Does yours still have a MAF?

Not like it's major issues is it Gerry! Few teething issues and then you should be good to go!

Sounds alright! I have the MAF Apexi, if you sign up to the MLR there was a bloke selling a new D-Jetro one for circa

Remember this date Gents because in a years time Gerry will be sitting in a monster track focussed EVO lol

Good on you Gerry. I have always like the look of the IV. I'll be watching the transformation closely

You know i`m only messing! I do think you`ve done the right thing to be competative.

Having driven the car, for a good few miles and over some 'challenging' roads, I'm amazed at the dyno figure. I certainly didn't extend the car and was careful with revs and gearchanges but I will say just this; if the car is as quick in real world terms as it is with 297hp, when things are sorted, you guys in Gerry's class need to make sure you're up to the challenge.

Does the car 'feel' as bad on the road as the dyno suggests Gerry?

I was rather embarassed because I said it felt like high 300s

On a light throttle it picks up and pulls very well. On a harsher throttle it coughs & splutters. Road holding feels very positive and it felt great on the snow & ice. I had to give it a few stabs on an icy road one night just to check it really was slippy.

BC suspension looks nice
