Thanks for the reply boys! Am i looking at a lot of work/expensive job or is it something pretty simple?

As above really! Whenever i lock my car with central locking, the passenger door doesn't lock! i have to lock it with the key. I know it's not really a massive issue but i've had central locking on cars for so long i forget to check the passenger door sometimes! Any help or advice would be...

definitely agree with this! ^

the only thing that worries me about high miles on a car is when you come round to sell it.. we won't get a penny!

^ still running sweet?

34k :eek: ...mine's approaching 100k!

£900 + my fiesta shed for my RB 182 :approve: 92k but FSH. thought i did pretty well!

jesus that's cheap!

noooo don't have a cat. if i'm only going to be running the 98ron map, it's probably a better shout to just get one second hand, unlock it, map the car and sell it on isn't it? suppose it'd save me quite a lot of pennies! £200 total cost new compared to £50 overall cost second hand (after...

good point! i'll probably leave it on then. i didn't realise the 'popping and banging' damaged your car though! - (naive) - to what extent does it ruin it? is it going to be a replacement every couple of months jobby or more like every year or two? sounds like the 98Ron map is the one to...

i don't mean on a regular basis like every other day, i mean running the 98Ron map for the majority of the time then every 2/3/4 weeks change it to pops and bangs for the weekend. for funsies!

And to quickly summarise the thread so far - there are no main disadvantages (if not any disadvantages at all) to mapping your car and remapping on a regular basis? Jeez. Why have i not done this already? and why has everyone not done this!?

really excited to buy one now by the way boys! i run my car on either Vpower (if i get chance) or the premium fuel from Total. i'm assuming it's okay to use anything other than basic fuel & supermarket fuel?

this'll be a quality thread! great to see how different peoples tastes define their cars physical outcome!

so the 5k kick doesn't exist after mapping, and the 'kick' just happens all the time? (when putting your foot down) speaking simply of course..

are you on commission for these Chip? i'm well and truly sold, ha! i'll be looking for one as soon as possible really. i know everyone normally buys second hand, but buying brand new doesn't seem TOO much more expensive. do people buy the maps or just get them emailed?

Ha!

Overrun is the pops and bangs map as far as I'm aware mate! Do you lads recommend it for just day to day use too..? Because I don't technically NEED the power benefits as I won't be doing track days etc.

Thanks Chip. think I'm sold boys. Looks like i'll be adding that to my list to Santa! ha.

is there an OEM/return to standard map? (for if i can't hack life without cruise control - lol)

see that's the kind of thing i don't want happening to me! i use cruise control on a regular basis so losing that would be a little annoying. so theres the 98ron map (performance map?), pops and bangs (overrun map) and whats the 95 ron map? n00b over here!:clap:

haha! i want to! but i love my car more than my left bolluck.. (that's the bigger one) so i don't want to rush into something and ruin it.

thanks for the reply mate :) so there's no real disadvantages? i'm really hesitant to do things like this, i'm too in love with my car ha ha because from what i can see - you map your car, it gains power (sometimes), runs smoother, and sounds better (again, sometimes haha) - all round Pros!

Hiya guys, I was looking into treating myself this Christmas (& Birthday!) and getting myself an RS Tuner. I know all the details regarding buying second hand and unlocking etc.. but the main things i was wanting to know are what're the Pros & Cons of mapping your car? It just seems a little...

Chip, i know you know your shiz.. are there any disadvantages to remapping your car on a regular basis? i was planning to get an RS Tuner, run the 98 map or performance map and maybe change over to pops and bangs every couple of weeks for the weekends.. when i go out to play. everything...

has anyone ever done a 'Pro's & Con's' for the RS Tuners? i was looking into getting one but i wasn't sure of the good and bad points of having the motor mapped!

:o Love it.

always wondered why everyone kills their cars in winter. surely a car is for life.. not just for summer? ...metaphorically speaking.

Without a shadow of a doubt.

P.S - Daniel.. Commission?
