g4 is basically the same hardware as the vipec so still a good choice

Well, you DID by cheap Chinese coilovers :P

The best upgrade path in my opinion is the suspension -> brakes -> power. but removing the AFM is also a good idea

January... a great month..

- TKO Tinting on my rear window to fix what Tint-a-car fucked up last year (Stripping the tint and then deciding they couldnt replace it)
- STechnic Service
- TurboXS TBE
- Vipec ECU with Tune
- 3x Defi Gauges (Boost, Oil Pressure, Exhaust Temp)

Cam,

I would go Boost, Oil Temp and Exhaust Temp for the defis.

Oil pressure isn't worth it.
By the time you would notice that there is no oil pressure on the gauge it would be too late anyway.
Get Oil Temp instead.

Who is doing the tune?

So, after the RallySprint (which was great fun! Thanks to mutch for epic Coaching skills) I can now see the value in the handling upgrades. It was good to get out onto a real track / real event to really understand how the car is performing and where I should look to make up time. It may not be the most powerful GC8 around but we can work on it bit by bit

So, I am entering again for the March RallySprint with Mitch once again. Before it I hope to have some better brakes, and front and rear sway bars, and to replace my 2 shitter dunlop tyres with RE002 Bridgestones to match the fronts.

My times at this stage were 3:16, 3:12, 3:09. Waiting on the last time still, but I predict about 3:04.
