the stage 1 on my car really woke it up. so much more fun to drive now. I'd have to say that I just went down there for everything since I'm local and the people were all really nice and helpful with all my newbish questions. Good customer service in my opinion. I believe you get what you pay for. Sure I coulda went out and bought everything I have for cheaper and saved money, but knowing how much testing has gone into my combo and that i had guaranteed concrete results sold me on the package. It definately lives up to it and the parts are of very good quality. The demo ride was super fun, I wish I could drive liek Shiv.

The high point is the demo drive by Shiv. I thought the comment (be careful about the test drive) by the guy in front of me was canny. But it is true. Shiv was driving the car like magic. Taking corners at speed that I don't think is possible. Glad I went there with an empty stomach or I would just **** in my pants!

Anyway, about my drive back to South Bay. My first impression was the car felt a lot lighter. I guess it is just a power/weight ratio thing. But going up the same passes on I680 at close to 100mph in 5th. There were just more pull after the reflash was done.

After a month driving, I think the money is well spent.

I have their stage 1 on my 03. I didn't notice anything. Also, I don't like the way he drove my car. I know he just needs to drive it to see if there is any knocking or pinging or anything else worth noticing, but there is a difference between driving my car and beeting the crap out of it. They are a little expensive, too.

now have they worked out the bugs with the sti cpu, cause i know its different than regular wrx

with domestics, i think, IMO, they come very DETUNED from the factory.

after all, how can a $300 device bring like 50-100 HP in about 10 min???

ask vishnu about their plug & play for the ecu... that is my point of no return...
