Second'ed.

Useless piece of metal. Great for the first 1500 miles. by 3000 miles it's useless. By 4000 miles it has come apart in your transmission and you get to rebuild! Hooray!

I have no experience of mileage post a couple of thousand miles, however those miles were harder than most road cars will see.

It worked well in speed events with numerous hard competition starts etc.

I guess you pays your money, you makes your choice.

Cheers

You mean the instant understeer/oversteer solution?

Really, it is a band-aid fix and makes for a point and shoot car, only the lack of power of most 924's causes this to not always be the fastest driving style.
