Depends who sees you. The very open to interpretation boy racer laws specifically prohibit "unnecessary exhibitions of acceleration". I think you mean PSM (stability/traction control). PASM is active suspension.

The Fanatec Porsche stuff is probably better. It's available in NZ via an importer on TradeMe. The pedals, at least, are miles better because the brake pedal uses a load cell, which acts and feels much more like a real brake pedal.

Hi all. I signed up a while ago, but haven't posted much. I'm starting to think about a few mods to my car, and was looking for recommendations of businesses who can help me out. I don't have any kind of garage or much in the way of tools at home, so I'm a bit stuck/hopeless in that department. I've ordered a new set of wheels from the US, so now I need to find someone who can supply tires, fit the wheels and tires, and do an alignment (possibly not all at the same place?). I'm also looking at upgrading to coilovers. I'd probably order them from the US as well, so just need to find someone to install and certify them. While I'm asking, does anyone know much about welding in reinforcement plates to lower the risk of subframe tearing on the E46? I'm in central Auckland. Recommendations? Thanks!

What kind of difference did the tune make?

GM's LS7 offers 2L additional displacement with the same HP and 90lb/ft tq extra for 32kg less than the S85 (still 5kg less than the S65, even). It's pretty good on emissions, too.
