Yes, the performance is close to the Aero after tuning. I did some other modifications as well. * Replaced oil pan with Aero oil pan as it is sturdier and attaches to the gearbox. Guess this is needed with the higher torque. * Upgraded gearbox to Aero level. (needed on model year 1999) * Use Aero sparkplugs. (expensive PFR7H-10 with 0.85mm gap instead of cheap BCPR6ES-11 with 1.00mm gap) * Replace coils, dampers, and anti sway bars with Aero versions. The standard suspension is too soft. * Kevlar brake pads. Not cheap, but the Aero wasn't available in early 1999... -- G–ran Larsson hoh AT approve DOT se
