Nice one DB! Yep I am using the lazy mans unplug the connector in the boot method, as I like to put it back in place on longer runs etc. The one feature I wish I had was the JB4 ability to stwich it 'on the fly' Well re the vacum, I had a though it would be this, but its so funny watching it as so rarely in daily driving do I get properly into the boost. |

I've given it a thought to acquire a single mass lighter flywheel, but in the end decided against it as the car is my daily driver and I'm pretty sure the chatter would get on my nerves after some time. You certainly get some performance benefits out of a single mass FW, but at least for me they were not worth the diminished comfort on a daily basis. In any case, the car has more than enough power, and now with the Öhlins suspension I'm also really happy how it drives (and brakes with the Performance Friction BBK). Alpina_B3_Lux

With a little research mate. Try searching for the numerous threads on here about both.
Much is written on the US side of the forum aswell. I think it boils down to price difference (JB wins), flash vs piggyback(Personal pref), ease of install (Cobb wins)... |

However, what I can already say is that the Öhlins is far better than my previous Bilstein B16 RC. Ride height can be configured in a far wider range, there are no clunking noises from the front dampers, and above all it's substantially more comfortable - while still being just as sportive and with minimum roll as the Bilstein at its best. I'll have to see whether the other factor that annoyed me - a vertical movement from the rear axle at high speeds on bumpy motorways - has also been eliminated. Alpina_B3_Lux

I'm having it run at AMD in Essex, I've used them before and their readouts were always pretty spot on for stock numbers on previous cars. |

Whereabouts are you in Surrey? If I recall,did you not buy the car @ Vines of Redhill? Have you not considered Surrey Rolling Road? They are surely nearer than AMD. |

Yes you're right, it was a Vines car. I'm from Reigate and as far as I know Surrey RR is passed Woking, somewhere near the Top Gear studio, right? I've been there before on a Subaru day if it's the one I'm thinking of which makes it about equal distance to AMD which is Thurrock. I use AMD as they do promotions for car clubs, £35 for two runs so despite the toll charges at Dartford I'm guessing Surrey RR can't beat that, not that I've asked. |

SRR is not far from Woking over in Longcross next to the M3. TG Track is further sth not far from Cranleigh. I'm guessing there's not much in it in terms of distance between AMD & SRR & £35.00 for two runs is good value. |
