Curborough is good - actually run by my village motorsport club (Shenstone and District car club)
Put the Zed (and some fast metal) around there a few times. Scares the life out of me with it's 6' run off areas, but local, good to get close pictures, informal and fun ....
Def get together for a beer or tell me when you're next up at Curborough and we can have a mini meet

jeeper im a longstanding member of shenstone and district, i absolutly love Curborough, ive done 7 track days their this year but your right, go off at curb and your in trouble, ivery technical track and alot harder than it looks, plus its very tough on the brakes if doing 3 lappers like i got to do last year!!
jeeper/andy he track season re starts in marsh but........ we have a member track day cuming up when the weather gets better mid march, When im attending next ill pm you guys so we can meet up their, im hoping this year to gather enough intrest to actually hire curb for the day and do a z4 trackday!!!! how cool will that be!!! even more so if im charged!!!

update: sadly Only 3 kits have been produced so far, and all have been sold. GUTTED!!! Any how the next kit thats available will be mine thats a promise !!! ive definatly decided on going with the VT-1 kit which is rated to 440 i believe, also i particualrly like this kit because its only blowing a tiny 5psi. ill update you more when im actually getting my kit, but its looking like a long wait i think.

My brother inlaw is toying around with the idea of a Porsche cayman and a turbo chrager kit. Sooo jelous of big power upgrades.
Keep us posted
Im sure there was a feature in EVO magazine a few issues back, a porsche caymen with a tuning package which i think was around 10k ? which basically gave it 500bhp ! it sounded awesome from what i read in the article. If i still have it i will post the details on.

I did the ESS kit on my '06 M Rdstr last summer and have been well pleased. The only issue was a RPM limiter bug, which they have fixed. I track the car 1-2 times monthly and it performs very well. There was a gas mileage improvement with the Supercharger of nearly 20% consistantly. This was a big suprise, I expected the opposite. I have run higher octane fuels and find slight better performance, but hardly measurable. I had Good Speed Performance Labs in AZ do the installation and I would recommend them in a heartbeat, professional and thourough. I am a nutcase about things being done right at times and they satisfied me, that is saying something for them. My car dyno'd at 353 hp before (included some performance mods above factory) and after supercharger at 481hp on 91 octane fuel. I think the torque was about 375 ft lbs....you can tell it, too. I think the pricing may have come down a little since I bought mine, regardless I don't plan on going back to stock, ever.
