At a first glance its quite expensive to get tuning done here in perth so i've still got to look around a little bit and see what else is available. based on how i feel with the initial uploaded map i'll go from there to see if i need to do a dyno tune. i should know by the end of september if i'm getting flashpro or notQuote:

From my research, I found that all intakes fitted on the FN2R will produce a very rich AFR, even the base map on flashpro (group N) is fairly rich but with its convenient live datalogger it should be fairly easy to tune the AFR. If you intend to mod your car definately get flashpro, ive heard great reviews about it. For now, im going to revert back to stock airbox before i have enough funds to change manifold and catback and pay for a full tune.Quote:

Anyway, if you do go ahead with flashpro, please keep me updated on the progress and results!
I thought about buyin an intake but I decided to just get a K&N panel filter for the mean while. Ive just bought a set of 18" re30 volks supposed to be very light so should help with some of the weight. I had my car at weight bridge the other night and totally standard it is 1315kg. That is seriously heavy.Quote:

Think after that I will get flashpro and maybe get etune. Guy civicrsa is doing it on other forums. You send him your datalogs and he sends you a map. He gets great reviews.
If your doing track days you should look into a light bucket seat and strip out them heavy seats.
thats good to hear..i'm planning on getting it through joel at drivencrazy and he said he can upload a map for me based on what i have (just need to pull the intake apart to measure the diameter of where the MAF sensor is)Quote:

The driven crazy intake sounds very promising, i am going to singapore on friday so i will be speaking to joel about this issue! Hopefully he can give me some solutions, it seems that with the intake running stock map the car gains 10hp.Quote:

:thumbsup: I'd be interested in the group buy if that includes the scoop and filter
might be interested as well depend on the price
Well DONE JYH! excellent work mate shaving 5 seconds, but i thought your PB was 1:20 for the first time? but yeah man your car was so fun to drive, I was astonished at how poised it was in corners. For those who don't know the STi that Jyh has mentioned is mine, I had done maybe 1300km on the rotors bedded them in doing hard stops 80km/h to 20km/h. I think the mistake was actually running the old pads which obviously had gone past there heat range hence the crumbling. But yeah for all those who want to upgrade the brakes on a DC5R or FN2R dixcel rotors and endless MX72 pads are a must for these cars as the braking confidence is just fantastic
I can supply the scoop'in, pod filter kit and flashpro from driven.
Let me know how low you can go with the price and I'll see if I can beat it.
Good stuff getting out there with the FN2R mate,
I went down to wakefield with my mates and drove his fn2r for a session to see what it's like. His car was bone stock with 20000km old RE050s but I must admit it was quite fun to drive. Very predictable through corners. The short gearing is awesome around the track. I think your best upgrade would be front brakes though, whether it be rotors/pads or an overhaul has I had to brake extremely early, especially at turn 2, fishhook and turn 12 coming onto the straight. I clocked 1.16.5 in it so keep driving mate, plenty in the car.
