[ukshaun]

has anyone used these ? i was thinking of getting one of these instead of a remap so it doesnt effect the warranty and insurance

You would still need to tell your insurance as it is a mod. I had one on my astra and didn't make any difference. You'd be better off with a remap that awesome gti are offering for £150

+1

still need to inform insurance

yh but the insurance dont need to know as it can always come off.

i seen awesome had that offer on but id still be better off going to r tech as its £200 but wouldnt cost me much on fuel

This really grips my s***.  If you can pay for the mods you can pay for the insurance, if not dont bother.

What happens when you crash into someone, the car gets recovered as its a right off.  Next thing you know, is after you car gets recovered, your insurance company inspect the car, see ts modified, refuse to pay out on insurance

What does that mean, well the poor unsuspecting innocent person that you have hit, loses his no claims despite the fact he has done nothing wrong.

My insurance went up a whole £50 for a remap....

Totally agree with the above

Totally agree with the above

me too. Dont modify if you cant afford it. a remap isn't £200 its £200 + insurance + more fuel + more wear and tear.

if your injured during your crash how do you expect to remove the box? god forbid someone else is hurt and is also left with a massive bill.

i know what your saying, but when i had to pay £100 extra to declare tints that cost £150 it became abit of a piss take tbh.

im just thinking out load, it was more of an intention for track days if i was to try one in a dirty derv. ive declared all the mods ive done on my old astra and spent nearly as much declaring as modifying. i dnt see how some companies can justify that

thanks anyway guys

I had a 58 plate Toyota Auris SR180 2.2td. 180bhp 400nm it was a monster specially on front tyres. I bought a plug & play box & found the car became more driveable with more power where i wanted it. To try this out properly i had it fitted but didn't tell my partner i'd bought it & had it fitted. She said she almost crashed the car lol. Commenting on how much power it had. I then explained & got shouted at as i should have told her. However if i told her would her mind think its quicker because she knows theres a box fitted?? When really there's no difference. I think it also depends on the car some take to them some don't. As the Toyota had a Denso ecu which is ni on incrackable! That was my only option! A re-map would be so much better!!

ohh thanks, good to hear some feedback on the boxes. looks like a remap is the way to go

Just go to awesome, had mine done there for £150!
