When I see a GT car with 18-ways, I throw up in my mouth.

Got some P1 Inserts in plaid. Love the splash of colour to go with the red accents in the car.

Also picked up Salter Aero risers which will be installed in the spring.

Very nice looking inserts and great photos thank you! I am about to pull the trigger on some inserts and have been researching and waffling over patterns. I was actually between the one you picked and another tartan but these images are really swaying me!

Oil change plus had the DME read. Thinking of selling my GT4 (searching for the right 18 or 19 CPO GT3) and wanted to know whether I had a clean DME. Zero overrevs on the report so feeling good that there are no issues that would prevent a top dollar sell.

As a recent GT4 buyer let me give you a piece of advice. The GT4s on Rennlist aren't selling for a reason; they are way overpriced. Don't look at the listings on Rennlist and think you are going to get that kind of money. Higher MSRP cars with fresh CPOs are selling for thousands less than what people on RL are asking for their cars.

You should start a thread comparing stock to DSC. The only one I really followed was a guy setting up a Carrera T for autocross and he ended up pulling the DSC in favor of the stock controller. Said the provided DSC tune was not working well for autocross. He didn’t have the time/ability to custom tune for that application.

The only other one off the top of my head was a YT guy that put one on his 997.2 GT3. He did a video about installing it and said he’d do a follow-up. He never did and people kept asking in the comment section. About a year later his comment was basically that he never really ran it back to back on the same roads so he couldn’t really say if the DSC was better. Not really a ringing endorsement.

I’m skeptical. If they were in stock and there was a good return policy I’d be tempted to have one of my buddies set mine up so I could do a blind test on my favorite loop. Or run DSC in the morning and stock in the afternoon at my next test and tune.

For me the DSC was a great upgrade to my 981 GT4 and will do it again on the 718 GT4. This module changes the stock suspension setting to a fully active system that gets input from all the sensors and adjust accordingly.
On the street the car is much better composed (softer?) but when you push it changes dramatically and fast. When I did the install took a short drive with my wife and she immediately asked if I did something to the car because it felt more comfortable...so it's a significant-other safe mod for your car!
On the track you can feel it working, specially on hard braking zones as the system compensates and eliminates front end dive. Going over curbs also is much better as the suspension copes better and the car feels more planted.
Also, the DSC combined with rear TPC toe links and a good alignment basically fully eliminated the hard braking rear end instability of the stock GT4.
IMO worth the cost.

FWIW, I was going to either sell the car, or replace the suspension after the first week or so I had it...too sketchy at "higher speeds" over bumpy/undulating pavement. DSC controller solved all that. It's taken a bit of trial and tweaking, but I've got a solid Normal and Sport modes.

Any interest in following/updating a DSC "settings" thread? I planned on starting one. E.g.:

1. This is what is important to me
2. This is what I was trying to accomplish, and
3. Here are my settings
