Well I have the Megan street series on my car and for the price they are hard to beat. They are not as good as some of the other more expensive ones but they really stiffen up the suspension and are fully adjustable. To squeeze a little more power out of it your should look into a tune and the E-85/Flex fuel conversions they seem to be getting some hp there without having to go force induction (obviously not nearly as much but it's also 1/8 the price).

haha aw man really? you have those? yeah im looking at them right now and i was debating between the street or the track. they are both about $900. ive read that the street was a little bouncy when driving around. yeah i figure the track is more stiff cuz its track duh. but yeah the street you say is pretty good? yeah some of those high end suspensions are awesome and i always day dream about getting them. but they are on another level. im not anywhere up there. i just want to do this for fun im not trying to win drift formula lol. but i also want something i can take to a car meet you know?

and i was also looking into the fuel system upgrade. looked at some DW 900CC/min and the 65CC fule pump i believe. those were the two that came up together. i want it but some day i would like to slap in a turbo or supercharger into the car when the time comes that i have nothing more to add to the car lol.

So...let's get this catch can thing going. I was reading more about the Radium catch can and it seems promising (gotta admire the engineering). I'll try contacting them about group buys, but I want to get a rough head count before asking.

Who's interested?

The track series are great if you have perfectly flat roads. People blow them all the time on speed bumps because they were not designed to handle that type of abuse. The street series can be bouncy if you don't have them dialed in correctly which is a lot of trial and error unless your really good with suspension. The only kind of tune I ever did to the car was having a dealership (Scottsdale Ferrari) try to get the flat spot smoothed out. @Yruyur would be the best to talk to about tunes he seems to read the threads religiously and has had the E85 tune.

The guy from ebay said if we got 5 he could do 210 shipped for the new cusco. Not much of a break plus I think you still need lines.

Hey all,

my ECUTek cable/tune package was stolen off of my front porch in Tempe (thanks USPS!). If anyone shady tries to sell you one, I would love the opportunity to reclaim it and have a chat with them. Just thought I would try this forum just in case.
