hi guys havent been on in a while my cars finally gave in and is going to the breakers yard...for three years i have been the proud owner of this

the breakers are coming to pick it up tomorrow i got a company car and the suspension needs too much for the mot..is it worth my while taking anything off and selling it privately ie said ecu with rica remap is it possible to just unplug the ecu like it was in old vauxhalls etc...im only getting 160 off the scrappy so if i could sell a few easy to remove spares it would make me feel slightly better..

hin graeme thanks for the quick reply...i work away from home and the cars 150 miles from my tools and where its parked isnt ideal for breaking the neighbours would crack up lol im resigned to taking the easy option and letting the scrappy take it off my hands thanks anyway

There are companies that can clone the map to another ECU for about 100 - 150 quid so worth keeping, even if you only get £50 for it.

But how many 2.0t owners are going to bother?

there might not be on the p1 stuff but ive had stg1 and 2 on mine and i can tell you that both are terrible. hlm/autotech stuff blows rica away

ill have graphs somewear but ill keep it for another topic some other time. but rica map 1.2 bar made 312 bhp hlm map 1.2 bar made 356bhp. same mods and only 2k inbetween rolling roads.

You may need to check the terms and conditions of the Rica map but I don't think they would be happy with the ecu being cloned for another car........thats if it would even work.
