Hey bud, i asked Cobb Performance the same question a while ago and this was their response (keep in mind that my question was whether or not it's worth it for me to buy their $2000 catback exhaust or if i was better off buying just a downpipe. "Honestly, the real restriction is in your downpipe, so I would definitely start there. Once you do that, your cat-back isn't really going to cause any restrictions unless you have well over 300hp, so it would mostly be for sound in your case. If you're looking for power only, I would suggest saving getting a cat-back until later and doing all of the other things you were talking about."

I don't really have the know how to tune myself, i've got a friend up north who's tuning it for me remotely.

Yeah that's the plan, I already have the OBDII dongle and ECU flash on my laptop and use that to swap maps. I'd love to eventually have an E85 map too lol

well lets put it this way, my NZ NEW 2011 STi has a sticker stating to only use 98 in it on the petrol cap. I'm currently getting it reflashed so that i can run 95 in it as well since i travel through south island a bit and 98 isn't always available. If you run it on anything lower than 98 than it might knock and it will pull timing and power to a certain extent.

lol you can jump in next club sub cruise you don't have your car at.

Might as well join in the fun.

Thanks Thorpy!!

Hey, I was wondering if you guys knew any anodising specialists in CHCH. Would like to anodise some some parts but not too sure on who\'s good in christchurch. If you have experience with any workshops please let me know and thanks in advance!

Awesome, thanks for your inputs guys, I was considering sticking with the RE002\'s since i\'ve used them before and they held up pretty well. Are the NT05\'s still cheaper the the RE002s?

nope I\'m open to other options. Used for day to day spirited driving as well as the odd trackday.

Hey all! I\'mlooking at buying a new set of tyres for my car and was wondering what your opinions were regarding these tyres? I can get them both for the same price so that doesn\'t really play a factor. Any input you guys have would be awesome!

Thanks for your quick response! I\'ll get in touch with Richard and see from there.

Hey Ladies/Gents, I was wondering if any of you knew of a reputable engine re builder in Christchurch, I\'ve had my engine rebuilt and it\'s making some odd noises i\'d like a third party to have a look at. Thanks in advance and hope to see you on the cruise this weekend!

Could be interested, how much per car?
