hi folks,
I have not been around much lately (sorry)--too much work, crazy weather, and general b.s. getting in the way.

but, I will be digging my head out of the sand soon with a new and improved MCS (well, not really new but definitely improved).

I am having a series of mods done over the next few weeks so when I see you all at the Dragon, my car will be up for the challenge!

But, I have a question because I am not sure how to describe what I am having done in terms of stages.

I have a JCW CAI and I am having a JCW exhaust installed in a couple of weeks.

Dan at Grassroots will be installing a 15% pulley (his Grassroots version), a new belt, a new set of plugs and wires, and a K&N air filter, MSD coil and wires, and upgraded plugs (the same plugs used on the JCW package). This is a similar set up to what Alta offers as a pulley performance pack: (http://www.altaperformance.com/produ...e-Package-15-).

I also have an M7 strut bar (black chrome) and a rear wing extension thing (add on to the stock wing) that I got used on NAM.

So, here is my question: Will I end up with a Stage 1 or 2 car? I asked Dan and he said that there are various definitions out there so I am wanting to hear the collective wisdom of my local club.

The JCW stuff may not be as aggressive as some others on the market but this is my way of creating a JCW jr. car!
