Thanks to Hamish, Adam & the team at VT today for My Remap & other work done on the car, was nice to meet you all, top blokes (and ladies!) (sorry about the wife trying to steal Mirk!). Had a fab drive home, it's like driving a totally different car, can't think of a better way to have spent my birthday!!!
Nice to have met you as well Stu and Wobbly Dave. Stu, i noticed you posted about Bob's experience at halfords!!

Cheers
Darren

Hi Darren

Glad you are enjoying your car - If your wife wants Mirk she is welcome to him, (not)! and I hope you enjoyed Webbs and my little loan car! - we upgraded 8 cars today so I am glad it was all done within a reasonable timescale as well. Look forward to seeing you soon.

Makes you wonder why you didn't do it sooner doesn't it Daz?

On average the MPG improves by about 5%.

Nice meeting you and your wife. Glad to see you got home safely. Try and make the meet at Manchester on the 25th.

I know its early days, I had mine done at same time as Daz t5. Looking at the MPG following a 120 mile run home, it looks like being somewhere between 7% & 8% better MPG.

Stu
Not sure about the mpg stats at the mo (didn't reset computer), but what a difference, like moppy says, why didn't i do it before! just feels so torquey and pulls like a bloody train!
I think next mod is exhaust and strut brace. By the way Stu, your pipes look and sound ace!

Mines got the RICA 280 and a combination of M62 commute (50>60mph) & slow city has given 26.8mph over the 2500 miles since it was mapped.

i find that the fuel consumpsion is a lot better because its such a lovely smooth power delivery with the 280 rica that you dont feel the need to thrash it as much ,but its also nice to know youve got the power when you want it.

Was nice to meet you too.
