    Pre ME7 means you dont have to wait for a computer to tell your car you want to go faster - you just hit the go pedal!! LOL

    ME7 ETMs are now free to replace. BTW I am certain there is no lag in pedal response with mine? Sometimes it takes a little longer to come down in RPMs but not up.

    IMHO after being out in Wobbleys car, i would not get a 19t/stage 2, too much to go wrong, more wear and tear on parts and if you are unlucky enough your licence wouldn't last too long,
    spend your money on Hid's and jewel lights.

    Best thing is to drive one and compare it to what you have.

    I thought it was quick before with a Superchip (unknown to me) and now I know it wasn't.

    Was it down to Rica, 19T or downpipe/ sports cat or a combination of all of it (probably)- I don't know, had it all done in one go. That's the problem.

    Your more than welcome to have a go in mine- as long as you don't break it. lol

    I just think that she shouldn't pay the money for that sort of power, as the cars are fast enough, Yours is crazily fast Dave, and i would lose my licence in no time if i had that sort of power.
    Better off getting the car to look better IMHO.
