Club auto insurance do driver training so I going to give that a go first up.

hi steve, loads of people can tune your car for a lot less than $2k

mine was road tuned for about $300 by a friend of mine who has also tuned my previous cars. also ST hitec do it for ~$800 on a dyno. not sure where you are, these people are in auckland. but there are others e.g speedsource up north or stm in wellington.

$2000+ is what people used to pay for ECUtek before ecuflash came about and made it accessible for the masses lol

We get those here too, badged as Nissan Stageas, we have a few over here. They're pretty much a Skyline wagon and most of the parts are transferable. Over here we've got several that have got R33/34 GTR running gear in them which basically make them a GTR station wagon.

I'm not sure, the Club Auto one is more driver training than race training so I might keep looking around.

That's awesome! I am located in USA and we don't have any cool wagons here.

Have any of you EVO wagon owners ever corner weighed the car? I'm curious if the wagon is any less nose heavy than the sedan.

Haven't actually done that myself, but in reviews it's been said that the wagons are approx 150 lbs heavier than the sedan and that is all in the rear. Which led to them not adding the active yaw control to the wagon as it is not as prone to understeer.

There wasn't much they could do with the rear other than use the cedia wagon because of the big hatch. It's a lot more subtle than the wing on the sedan, draws much less attention from police and thieves etc.

Thou i wish they had the The other version Ralliart roof spoiler as standard,i had this rear spoiler on my 1.8 ralliart cedia car.I much prefer the aftermarket roof spoiler which adds more rear downforce and stability,but thanks to ralliart i can't get my hands on one and also the front splitter aswell.

And it would have been to costly to incorparate into the rear tailgate in someway,and shortening the cluster.
