I getting cherry1809 t5 at the weekend

[thesoundcriminal]

Will do it up as required and was thinking about chipping it. They are doing a deal at the moment for £150 ( cannot remember the name of the company.) I know its well used but I thinking if I blow the engine up I should be able to get a another lower mileage one cheap and the same for the gearbox. So I might just do it.

Good for you mate :D

The company is well known on here, its HLM tuning

[thesoundcriminal]

do you think its OK to do it or will it really shorten the life of the engine

Ive had my T5 Auto chipped by Hamish @ HLM for the last 14 months without issue.

It still goes like a train :D

Thanks mate cool I do mine in the post because hes miles away from me.

[cameron]

I drove the 100 miles either way ;)

The drive home was much quicker and big fun!

[thesoundcriminal]

mines 189 each way bit too much.

[cameron]

IIRC you send him £250 then he sends you an already chipped ECU and you send your standard one back at which point he refunds you £100 :D

So very easy, and its Plug 'N' Play as well :B_thumb:

[thesoundcriminal]

OK thanks cannot wate sooooo excited

[pjaystar]

i have got a hlm chip well worth the money

[t5 pete]

its well worth the money at the end of the day your engine life will depending on how good its been serviced and if you knock the balls off it every day it will shorten the life if you drive it as normal it will be fine just make sure every thing is in good running order like plugs leads etc

[thesoundcriminal]

You would be as well taking the car to HLM.

Hamish can give the car a once over I expect, and highlight any areas of concern.

That way you can be fairly sure the car will be ok in the short term.

Yes I seen their stuff fantastic, but have you ever tried to stop a discovery, man you would have to spend fortunes it to make it go and stop. Anyway Ihave sold it already. They are great cars but I cannot afford to have it as well at the moment all my money sunk in the band, and recording equipment now that stuff is really expensive. last month we spent £500 on two mikes ouch!!!
