This past weekend I took my car to RSB for some long awaited enhancements. While Jill and I spent the weekend in Philadelphia, Pete was busy installing a catback system and a few suspension mods including M030 front/rear sway bars, new castor blocks, strut brace and control arm brace. When we got home to Toronto last night, I couldn't stop myself from taking the car out for a few "laps" after the kids went to bed.
The suspension upgrades have really transformed the car, just as Pete said they would. The car is MUCH more stable at speed thru long sweeps and corners. Gone is the front end "drift and wiggle" and need to always correct. The car simply tracks more true and goes where you want it to, and all much faster. What a difference!!! As for the catback, it's a bit quieter than I thought it would be but it adds a very nice tone on hard acceleration. Combined with the Stage 1 chip and air box mod I did last year, the whole packge works very well together. I've finally got the car where I want it to be..... for now.
Anyways, a special thanks to Pete at RSB for all his help with the car and the drop off/pick ups at the train station. It was our pleasure!
