A little update

It's been awhile since I posted here, club202 is back up again for those who are interested. I've done a few things to the car since my last post. I have had a 2.5inch stainless cat-back made and I have made my own air intake. I can report that opened up the c230 sounds very good, especially the supercharger whine and that the car responds well to intake and exhaust mods. I'll have some pictures made and make a video so you can hear it. Future mods include suspension work and fitting a better intercooler.

Sorry about the wait guys. It was a borrowed GoPro so I had to wait to get the files from my friend. Here's the video. I'm running stock tires and suspension in this run.

Plans for next season are better tires/wheels and this koni spring and shocks kit.



I have also learned from other 202 owners that Upsolute has a chip tune for our cars that is pretty good, and they can also do custom tunes to suit other mods such as supercharger pulleys or what have you. The advantage being of course that you don't have to shell out all the cash for a standalone ecu just to get a light tune.
