I chose the S200, mainly because I liked the idea of launch control, full throttle shift and the shift light. As well, living in Tassie, if any problems occur I can employ the S200's datalogging capabilty, and then send the data to James to have a look at... The S200 is basically an S100 with a few added features...

$750+GST is the standard price for an S200. With my car the stock ECU was modified and then it is basically plug and play. However, from memory the stock ECU can only be modified on cars pre 1996. So, with cars from 1996 onwards the ECU must be replaced, and I think the package of ECU + S200 is around $1200. I am not 100% sure of the change over year, but its some time around 1996. As well, you would be stupid to simply plug and play, the tuning is a must, and thats around $650.
