    I'll typically run about a quarter degree of negative toe, it helps with turn-in.

    Quite a bit after driving all day using the power on the controller and then going to my wife's 2011 and use her actual power mode button you can really see the difference

    Wow now that's not bad. I'd actually consider it for that price. Will have to see how it affects class rules though. You have a link or pic of what I'm looking for?

    Nope, neither. Not allowed in class I'm competing in. Well actually I could change exhaust from cat back but the cost doesn't justify the reward. I'll have K&N drop in filter, TRD rear sway bar, and tires. Koni FSD'S are on the list but need more $$.

    Have you ever tried your car out without the baffles on your intake if not then you should try it just as a test run

    I've had it off before but not in autocross. Not allowed in my class to modify any part of the intake minus filter. Also with that removed you actually draw in hotter air. I plan to eventually install the Injen intake and plumb it under the headlamp for true cold air. But that will be when I move to a different class.

    Hey. Do you still have an inverter cooler? Is it necessary for autox? Do you upgraded break pads? And what sticky tires do you recommend for 15 stock rims?:)
