saweeeeet! definitely worth the cost. My moonroofless (there goes 80 lbs.)C32 with pulley/ecu/plugs/wires/filter/battery and wheel weight reduction has beaten many cars, including E46 M3(on highway, not close), SVT Cobra (low speed roll, pretty close), Mustang GT (paaaaaleeeeese), EVO (on highway, not close), RX8 (from a stop, Is that a car, or a piece of dust on my rearview mirror?), older NSX (just when I thought that the Mustang GT was slow!), modded Mach 1 (at dragstrip, close).

However, wins are not as instructional as losses. On this note, I lost to a Z06 by a car from 60-110. Towards the beginning, I thought that I had him. He started to pull me harder around 80. At the dragstrip, I have lost to various cars, most of which are not street-legal, or should not be. Throw a big enough turbo on an Integra or a Neon, and it can haul **** (low 12s). Had a nice race against a Z28 that had to "detune" so as not to trap above 140, or below 10 seconds. Actually, I got him out of the hole. Then. . . UUUUUUGGGGGLY.

Evosport does some nice work.

Had my stage 1 for 2 months absolutely no problems runs like stock until you stand on it. =)

Raced a modded TA before my chip pulling away from him very slowly until he hit the nitrous, that was it for me.

Raced a turbo golf fwd at the track 550+ HP plus nitous on top of it but no slicks lucky for me. I won...barely but he was pulling like crazy on me without the nitous . The golf running slicks and wheelie bars now runs 11.7X.

2 e46 M3's handed their butts to them on a plate =)

I have had the EVO kit (not chip) for ..... ever.... over a year maybe two-ish range. IMHO its the best kit for the C32. Small issue long time ago, Vadim took care of the issue rite away.

A friend's C32 ended up with a problem intercooler pump that was not noticed before he had the Renntech kit. The car bogs down on hard acceleration.

Seems to work properly now after the dealer replaced the unit under warranty (for the last time). Be warned however that his car ended up with an 888 ("warranty voided") on the engine components after getting his car back from service. The diagnosis revealed the enlarged Renntech pulley which the dealer did not like.

Wow, it's sad to hear about your friend's warranty. Could he get the warranty back by changing back to the original components for the time being and have the dealer check the car again, then tell them they made a mistake?
