Wow i just got back from ford. me and a friend removed the balance shafts off our cars, quite a difference it makes. quite a bit more vibrations but great engine response. so if your car has one rip that bitch out

Question: Does your car do over 200 MPH??
Answer: No,
Response: Then you dont need a spoiler!
Anything to improve throttle response is worth it. Just makes the car so much easier to drive, both off the line and blipin it down a few gears.
Now, for example, if I was a 1.8t owner, first mod (if it can be done)... Good by electronic throttle. you dirty piece of sht, rot in hell. I have driven two stock 1.8t's and I felt distant, very distant, from the motor.
But I hope you enjoy the engine vibration, you should get some urethane motor mounts too, it will help with digestion.
And to wrap things up, I have to say your car is coming together nicely, (Cosworth=bling) now its time for some Gainesville test and tune.
