Reducing weight would cost me prep points in the MCO Autocross series which might bump me up a class. I'm fairly close to the C-class limit right now.

Hmm, I guess it's time to start thinking about autocross tires for this year...

Rubbing it in!

So I am on Merivale being trailed by a car which passes me and turns out it is an ultramarine with buddy club taillights and aftermarket exhaust. I'm envious. Nice sounding car BTW, Anyone on here?

Running stage 2 now but I can vouch for the stage 1 tune being a noticeable difference to drivability. (I.e it feels more responsive and bogs/dips less) Stage 1 sounds good too.
