You're right of course, but I think that time has come... My main
competition is a couple of guys in a GT2 that has also gone to
Upsolute, and they have the budget to do stuff like carbon clutches
that they replace twice a year etc. Their car is probably 400 lbs or
more lighter than mine, stronger anyway, and they run as wide a
tire on their front as I can run on my rear, so I'm way out of my
league now. My plan this year is to run in a true street tire class
(wear rating > 140)... That's more my style, where I just show up
and race. They do the full-open-exhaust+trailer+motorhome deal.
I'll miss the tremendous stickiness of the Kumho 710s (which I *did*
drive in the street ), but I will have lots more (and more equal)
competition in the new class, so it'll all be good.

My god Joe, i remember seeing that a while ago on the Auto-X track, your car is SERIOUS fast, driving too!!!!!!! I cant wait for the Spring/Track seasonnnN!

 

It's a small world so I know who that pair is They've come to me before "fishing"... At least we know who the better driver is. Oops did I say that

 

You are too kind. There's not much to count on there either. One of
them is a national champion, and the other guy has driven just as
well or better, and has beaten me in equal circumstances... If I
could co-drive their car with them I'd jump at the chance to learn/
compare but that's not a likely invitation .

 

hey i had a uni chip it was great changed to giac for the race gas program it really makes a dif... if you want a uni chip cheap ( 900.00) rob at s cargo had one or two he is in san rafael ca.

 

Mark, I thought you still had a little warranty left!

 

Cool so , the cheapest way is upsolute$500,kn filters$100, zerotek exhaust with headers$1800.. wow what a savings not even enough for stage 2 quiet europipe

 

After becoming good friends with Todd and Cynthia @ Protomotive I can contest that not all programming is equal... Todd has taught me so much and there is a difference between programmers...
How come some after market ecu's blow MAfs and some do not...I heard alot of horror stories... including from owners that use upsolute.
If one lives in a warm climate I noticed that the Usolute has less tendency to blow maf and throw ABS/PSM.
Why would you want to buy a software for your car and not have the ability to discuss it with the programmer... nor have the means to make changes if need be...
I never had any of the above mentioned programs... but I did have 3 other ones...

Markski! I say you quit your day job (actually its a night job) and dedicate your time to your hobby!

Good post! +1 rep for that. Although I have to say you shouldn't have to have to talk with your programmer on a stage 2 let alone do adjustments. A PROPER software done by a TOP Porsche tuner should drive just like factory (no lights, no hesitation, no hot/cold weather issues, no BS) end of story.

P.S. I need to find the original "plastic dreams" by DJ J.D. and have it recorded on a CD followed by a Green Funky Dogs song... can you help?

 

Thanks Kiko,
I agree with you as well. Stage 2 is entry level.
Ill check if I have that song at my store...
