    172 vs. SRi Turbo

    depends which SRi? there's two or three engines and petrol or diesel a re-mapped 2.0L (petrol 230bhp or diesel 200bhp) would be close to a 172!

    Rims,rims,rims!!!

    ^^ NOT true - actual overall diameter & circumference for 185/55x15, 195/45x16 and 205/40x17 is almost IDENTICAL - just proportionally more rubber, less rim with smaller wheels!

    Whats the point.....

    stoopid, but comes on with about 9.9 gallons gone, so loads left Tank holds 50 litres + (altho officially 45 or 10 gallons) I squeeked 100 miles on orange in the fuel strike - I bet you'd get almost 50 from a petrol if you dared :-O

    1.2 16v wearing thin (SSLLOOOWWW)

    my D will do 60mpg all day long @ 65/70, 50mpg @ 80/90 :-) and it's group 3 insurance, but matches a 1.6 16V petrol in performance (same 110bhp, but nearly double the torque)

    Is it worth having an ECU remap if everything else is standard?

    P.S; to answer questions 1) - NO only risk is clutch, but not till MUCH higher torque levels of 80 and 100 cars 2) - only re-sets a 'tiny' section of ECU (fuel), so NO unless someone plugged in diagnostic and searched fuel setting only, impossible to spot AND even if they did, how would...

    Is it worth having an ECU remap if everything else is standard?

    go for it - think its 68 to 88? be quicker than standard 80 then AND prolly much more economical ^ ^ mine went 53 to 60 almost overnight and it still gets a good whippin'
