That's what I thought. I didn't see the volk engravings around the wheel.

I see that you are supercharged, nice! What are you running for an EMS? Car looks good so I figured you have MoTec or something.

Only platforms available and successfully useful to the 2IS are Mapecu3 and hks f-con, I am running neither. Stock ecu, nothing else fancy besides a Procharger blower, intercooler and some shiny piping! is it running at full potential on stock ecu...? No, but it's my daily and she does exceptionally well at that. Only future plan is adding meth/water injection and if I get bored and can find a mapecu specialist, I may add mapecu down the road this year.

Ah. I see.. I must have been dreaming when I was looking at the GT spec 2IS running MoTec.

I wish you best of luck with the stock ECU, but speaking from experience with a few aftermarket boosted cars, even the piggyback systems are a band-aid fix that the stock computer fights against. I am not totally versed on the ECU in the 2IS, but I would not imagine the stock ECU has any mapping ability outside of vacuum(99% of stock NA ECUs are setup this way, as they ideally never see positive pressure). Glad to hear it is running well for you though. I guess I just like LOTS of boost... I feel just a little is like a supermodel with one breast implant.

Why? I dont get the big deal about camber. I run-3.5 front and -4.5 rear and ive put over 10k miles on the tires. Im about to flip them and do another 10k...make sure u get a proper alignment and set ur toe as close to 0 as possible
