off the shelf chip did fek all for my car. runs better on standard chip believe it or not! shame cos its gonna cost me £600 now for a proper one ;)

cheers. piggy back is the best bet then me thinks!

they are the same :)

prob better off buying a new car, ull have to change looms etc if u change the lump!

prob best of cleaning the iscv first, someitmes they stick.

is it not worth running a new ecu now then rather than going for the piggy back chip?

im thinking of going for this with Andy at GDI over the unichip. Has anyone had any experiance with one? also would this be suitable for possible TBies at a later stage?? Iv emailed andy but awaiting a reply, just wondered if anyone else had any info about them? cheers...

i got it my dad for 330 inc postage!

my rebuilt box lasted 18k! although it was probably my own fault!

origin B2. the daddy!

no, just bought a standard one! good job you told me the advanced one was causing you problems though, or id have probably bought an advanced one! cheers :)

:o coool, sounds interesting!

about 900rpm, but its lumpy as an old school porridge!

true. iv had a fair bit of work, and the car always produces good power, but its yet to be mapped! so should squeeze some more power out of it yet. hopefully be with Andy, iv emailed ya earlier on mate :)

was about £15 from BB tuning. was ordering some other stuff too. reason for changing this was very occasional starting problems, only ever had twice so thought id change it anyway!

whats the chance of them checking for internal mods such as cams, etc etc iv told them of everything else that is obvious!

Some of you will remember I posted a video of my dodgy idle, and cutting out last week. Well today I changed the Coolant Temp Sensor and timing sensor, and all seems to be well. Although iv not had chance to go for a drive due to no gearbox. The car now idles as it always did and the revs...

exactly, RRs are all out i reckon, but if you have another group of valvers to compare against then you get an idea of the sort of power your pushing!

iv got a bmc, pipercross and standard airbox. pipercross for noise, bmc for power, although no noise! and standard i havent tried yet. thats next!

i know someone who fitted a 172 engine in a 19 16v and it cost him about 3k in total with everything! a lot more than he originaly thought!

rollers were prob a tad high, seems a bit too much for those mods mate! did u get a second opinion on another RR??? a fair few people have them mods on here with a williams and arent seeing them figures. even ones with cams, headwork, etc arent seeing that high!:confused:

Exactly, wolf in sheeps clothing is better than owning something everyone expects to be rapid imo! unless its an evo 5 or somethin! :)

could be the magnesium ones, or iv seen similar willy prima replicas in 17" that look like that! probably them!

fuk me! bit pricey!

doesnt look like it fits right, check the gaps behind the rear wheel and in front of the front wheel! good effort though!

yeah, definately wont be driving very far, even if its full of oil. i drove like a right fairy today, even got overtook by a 1.2 nova with 4" exhaust. Not happy! hehe

well i could fix the crack but its still fuked inside, something must have given way to cause it to crack? although it seemed to drive as normal. think ill fix it, fill it up with oil ready to drive to the place to get the new box fitted. i.e Jayss house hehe in fact im getting pretty...

yeah, doesnt look major, just a 1mm crack for about 1 1/2 inches!

Managed to get to a pit today to have a good look at the gearbox as it pissed out all its oil a few weeks ago. The housing is cracked so something must have given way inside. It drove the 2 mile ok though, alhough i didnt touch the revs hardly all the way...
