Just thinking about an ECU remap
rashg60:
Thanks for reading the thread - I didn't want to go over-board with lots of engine modifications. After much research I felt this was the route for me, with the maximum amount of gain in the budgeted price. And I was not disappointed! Love driving the car.
I got the tyres in December and since then the roads have been pretty wet! To be honest the wheelspin has been reduced considerably and the car corners much better. I'm looking forward to the next few months, when the weather turns better (fingers crossed) and then I can comment further.
My previous tyres were a mix n match so can't really compare to anything before. I've just gone by people's reviews on here etc. and the price was too good to refuse.
What panel filter have you got? And what is the spec of your car?

I have a pipercross panel filter & spec is 60K manual 2005 5door, no extras from factory, unless cruise control is an option? Very basic spec but I really enjoy driving it, just needs 4 tyres asap as I too have a mix n match, makes for a pretty rough ride, hopefully some F1s will sort it out!

The lights make a big difference on a red car as I find the standard ones blend in with the paint too much... That's if I'm being picky :happy2:

Yeah that's exactly how I see it too. They tend to look a bit 'standard spec' when it's red on red.
Can't wait to get the exhaust on, and then it's back down to R-Tech for a map tweak a fortnight later.
I really should start budgeting for some bigger brakes before I carry on with cosmetics though...!

AJP:
Excellent! Cheers Nige.
Keep hearing new noises from the Powervalve the more I drive the car. Is it possible to 'have feelings' for an exhaust.? It's so damn good!!!
(Ps, the car has had a wash since..)
rashg60:
You finally got it done!!! :smiley: Good man. Amazing right?
The noise is just awesome. Did you also go for the sports cat?
