The truth is: as anyone here has said it - these mods will give you a “new” car.
In what concerns to the extra rear bumper section (the twin silencer is much more pretty – go for it!) I think you can choose for the manual cut of the bumper. In the Fabspeed homepage they have a video with the right instructions to do it. If it is well done, you won’t notice at all any difference between both holes, and you will save a consider amount of money. It was what I did and I don’t regret, although - I must confess- the black colour helped.

Well, I usually order from design911 and from FVD. The prices are ok, but then we have to add the taxes and Shipping costs...on the other hand, they are very professional and reliable.

Hi Pete,
I wasn't sure if the Autothority MAFS w/ custom programming will adapt to the LWF setup I was going with, so I decided to switch back over with a different custom chip. With the current setup I don't have any stalling problems even with A/C engaged.
BTW, I just ordered a Euro RS DME, we'll see which feels better.

GP: Did you order from Gert or some other source? Would you share the cost? I know in Adrian's book there is a nice comparison of dyno results from the same car but different ECUs and the RS ECU was by far the best. I'm debating the RS ECU vs a different chip for the existing ECU to go with a LWF install on my track car.

I was unaware of any differences between the C2 ECU and the RS ECU, I thought it was just the chip itself that was different.

Hi Tom W.
The current custom chip I have does a great job in controlling the idle with a 9 lbs flywheel and plus it offers a "fun" powerband to drive around in.
When I get the RS DME next week, I will let you guys know.
