Yeah its worth having.
Does dick all in the wet above 4k in 1st and 2nd though.
Oh and remember to turn it off before you launch away from the lights otherwise you will look REALLY stupid!!
Might be almost the same price to get my battered bonnet filled and painted than it would to get a carbon one.
humm.......... I have always said if anything brakes on my car to replace it with an uprated one.
Pics anyone?
Just found that i have got a HUGE stone chip and dent from this moring on the motorway.
Do you think a carbon bonnet would look stupid un-painted on a Silver 172?
Actually the 172 DOES have traction control.
It just bugger all once you come on power (over 4500K) in the wet.
And I believe the banging noise is refered to as "Axel Tramp"
Hang on. Which bit of the ECU stops you from using it???
Could I just remove the Pic/chip whatever out of it and then solder it into my original ECU??
If you catch my drift..........
Bugger. Didnt think it would.
I really want some DIY laptop power (mapable ECU connected to computer in the car) but I cant afford (yet) for Andy at GDI to do it and I dont wanna risk messing up my original ECU.
Will this work on my car (03 172) or will it only work on the car it was removed from (imobillized thingy).
This would make a fantastic base for a Piggy back ECU project...
No there was someone on here the other day saying they could supply the unit for under £100.
Its a box that you loom to the pins of the ECU and then Plug a Laptop into the other side of the box. You use a gui which looks quite easy to use to set everything.
Gui can display all A/F and revs...
Find out where I can get a Dastek done in this country whilst your at it!!!
Have know idea for scotland, but i know that Sanspeed in bexleyheath are quite good. Not that this helps you in anyway!!
Ah, not the same one,
Mine was a 5k 5door one.
I suppose as far as sh*te hire cars go its not that bad!! Put it this way, makes you 172 feel EVEN quicker when you get it back.
