Default The Mod Bug

Hi folks.

Been looking at DEV kits this evening. Can anyone running a DEV 3 kit on their AU I6 give me some first hand opinions of performance, etc? I'm looking at spending approximately 2500. Would my money be better spent elsewhere?

I've also read all the bad press on JMM... do any other businesses sell packages similar to the DEV kits? Is it cheaper to buy components individually?

And finally any recommendations on businesses I can speak to doing this kind of work around the Perth area.

Cheers,

ian

Definitely, G&D Performance is the way to go. Mention that you're a member of AUFalcon.com and you'll get 5% discount. The team there will look after you

As above. G&D are sponsers of AFF and also individual sponsers of aufalcon.com with a 5% discount.
I've tried both JMM and G&D and there is no comparison, G&D are the best by a mile.

Narc, I will only recommend G&D Performance to you. You will not regret working with those blokes! And the fact that you're in Perth is not an issue. It's always best to give them a call but since you're in Perth (very long distance call LOL) email or PM them.

You have PM by the way

You are one lucky guy to ask right now.Before you spend one dollar wait for the Vic people to have their drag day this weekend.There will be several cars running with various packages. Some will have JMM gear ,some bluepower cars and of course site sponsor G&D. The track is an unforgiving and decisive judge. All these cars running same day same event. No lame excuses or hype just real results. It wont matter how long threads go for,how colourful the banners are or how good a sales people the all are.

Id recommend you wait and see.
