Think I'm going to pull the trigger on this myself. Get the Euro tune for my headers at the same time. The powerchip tune I have now seems a little rough to me. My sim is keeoing the O2's off but the SES light is still on (O-chas working on it). This tune should eliminate that and maybe give me a few more raw HP's than the PC tune I currently have.

it's much more linear.
Almost feels like a cabled throttle.

Congradulations!
I was hesitant too but in the end I'm happy I did it..

I'm actually not sure what happens in sport mode now if anything. I can't feel any difference.

Really? Wow. My Powerchip flash still changes a lot mode to mode. Wonder if Powerchip even did anything to mine?

I still find a noticeable difference in sport mode.
It's much smoother though and normal mode is so much improved that the difference isn't nearly as great as before.

it's not that simple & there is a definite difference.
Both have improved performance, no question.

Have a good trip and fun with the install.

Yeah, I'm kind of preoccupied with a small business venture lately.

I've waited long enough now too before unveiling some of my stuff to my better half.

I stand corrected regarding the Sport mode with the ESS tune. There is a noticeable difference!

I'm in suspense to hear what these goodies are!

New front rotors and Cool carbon pads f&r.
Turner wheel stud kit & spacers.

The suspension setup looks awesome there. Still looks relatively stock, but definitely wider/lower.

Is your front license plate...screenprinted onto your bumper?

Inpressions of the Dinan components vs. stock? (Or anything else you care to elaborate on.... )

Had a pic of the plate p.shop'd & printed onto a reflective vinyl label.
Not strictly legal, but I've been doing it on my other cars for 4yrs now.

I'll hold off on that for now.
I'm still doing some experimentation with different springs.
