Driver's skills are essential, guy! I know of a Zed owner with AT, who humilia-
ted another Zed owner with MT. Many factors are involved in the racing bu-
siness--whether for $$ or for plain old fun.

For what its worth some of us that want F/I live in areas where emissions and smog laws won't allow it. So why spend 10K and then have to take it off every year to smog it? I'm sure F/I is awesome on this car but I don't wanna bribe an guy to pass my car.

I just noticed the OP was in UAE. Just go all out and build it with a tt setup and embarrass some of those lambos and ferraris rolling around there.

If you can't beat a GTI, there's something wrong with your car. Plus your mods aren't exactly what I'd, personally, call quality or worthwhile. With the exception of the MD.

I'm at that stage now where i'm bolted up enough for a tune, but have lost intrest figuring the extent you have to go through to have it done. Not like getting something in the mail and putting it on
Have to drive across state and wait. two things i dont enjoy much lol

I honestly haven't been in a NA tuned Z but from what i hear it's night and day from the stock configurations.

I was N/A with Intake/Exhaust/TP/spacer/pulleys/Clutch/Flywheel and dynoed @315flywheelhp dynopak..
When we raced from either stand still or rolling 2nd, I was always ahead of him by abt half a car length and only started pulling away at 5th..the GTI has a launch control std and that DSG is real quick.
Now when I have twins, he's just a disappearing image in my side view mirror...

But you seriously need to get a reflash or tune on the car, the factory ECU just will not adjust to make the most out of your mods. With UTECS running about $750 theres no reason not to, plus it can easily carry over to FI.
