Thats pimp! They made it for the PSP in japan and i can get it, but i just cant imagine it being as fun as the arcade... Enjoy it though!

P.S. The D1GP game that they are bringing over here sucks. I have the Japanese version and theres either all angle or no angle... I know most ppl dont drift Evo's but thats FYI. Anyways... Back to the Reno thread!

All I can say is don't go to Gruppe-s for any installs. I would check out Speed Element in Freemont for your installs.

Speed Element, EIP, or Full Function. Avoid Gruppe-s because they suck at life and don't go to WORKS because they're a rip off.

Hahhaha.

But how about just ordering parts? They seem to have great deals, but I don't want to get ripped off with problems and such.

Speed Element is located in Fremont, which is in the east part of the bay. Probaby about 3-4 hours away depending on how you drive. I think EIP is in San Jose which would take 4-5 hours from Reno. These two places have decent prices for both tuning programs. EcuFlash is $500 cusom tuned, Ecutek is around $750. I still cant decide if I should go to Vishnu, EIP, or Speed Element because they all have good tuners. I wouldn't go anywhere else IMO.

Damn... Thats one thing im gonna miss about Atlanta. Topspeed has tuned a few 500+ HP evos and i was gonna get tuned by them, but its not worth it to get tuned on 93 octane and then get retuned for 91. 500 or 750 isnt too bad. Is Ecutek worth the extra 250? Thanks for the help! Cant wait to get out to Reno!

If you wanted you can get tuned down there for 93 and just add a few gallons of 100 oct. unleaded when you're up here, but a custom tune on 91 would probably be better. As far as Ecutek being worth the extra money I really don't think so. Plus you can tune your own car using EcuFlash if you wanted to.
