Forget anti-lag. Heel toe, left foot braking, change gear between 5 and 6000 rpm. Rear anti-roll bar, polly bushes and Geo set up by a subaru specialist. Decent pads, discs and fluid.

Anti lag that actually keeps the car on boost between gear changes is going to destroy your turbo in about 3 gear shifts.

Heel and Toe is the best skill you can learn for making quicker progress

Id be leaving anti lag well alone if you arent sure about how to drive it properly. The best mod you can do to the car is a driver.

Get some proper driving lessons and learn how to drive properly and you will be faster.

I think im a great pick up and learn driver. Never been on a track before but planning on it this year and also go to a few rally lessons...goin from mastering a rear wheel to a 4 wheel im guessing is alot of diffeence, i can handle a rear wheel when it kicks no problem but not sure how a 4 wheel kicks im guessing they kik like a stallion.

You learn to react to the car, proper driving lessons will teach you how to be in control of the car.

They are two very different things. Reacting to a situation and surviving does not mean you are in control.

Control is bringing it to the limit and knowing exactly how the car will react. You cant really "self teach" this.

Everyone "thinks" they are a good driver, its not until you get into a car with someone who can drive that you realise how **** you are. I cannot stress highly enough how much good a few decent driving lessons will do you
