Did a comparison on the motorway against my mates valver, std apart from de-cat, against mine which has a Magnex cat back and panel filter. Started from 3rd and both cars seemed to neck and neck, when I changed into 4th my car seemed to pull away instantly and didnt stop going until it reached the limiter at 7500 rpm! This seems high, anyone elses 16v have the same limit in 4th, when warm she normally hits it at 7200rpm. When my car does hit the limiter it isnt the usual abrupt reminder to change its more of a gentle nudge.....is this also normal?? On previous cars Ive almost beeb thrown through the window! Ta

I dont suppose theres anyway of knowing if its been chipped unless you have paperwork to prove it? Ive had the car 2 years now but have never taken up to 7500, Im not going to make a habit of it though...even though it got there without any effort at all.

Who was this against then Paul? Shame I wont get to try mine on Sun now Ive serviced her.
Thinking about it now mate, maybe yours is chipped? It would certainly explain a hell of a lot!

When i had mine chipped it didnt make too much difference in first and second tbh. It was at the end of third, fourth and fifth. The difference being in these gears i could just pull away from my mates 19 16v unlike before.
Mine would hit the limiter 7k when standard but when chipped 7.5k.
Just had a thought on this paul, wayne had just filled up with petrol to the max i think, and both me and wayne are fat b******s so weight drag might have had summit to do with it.
Mind u Jons prone to a few pies aswell lol, just kiddin m8
I believe that they are 7k when cold and 7.2k when warmed up, as my valver revs to 7.k and my Willy revs to 6.8k, both standard ECUs...
Pauls valver was too smooth on the limiter, reminded me of 2 lives in that sense, as it dooes do the usual "smash the drivers head on the steering wheel thing when it hits it..." lol.
Think Wayne needs a full zorst on his, that standard system is gonna strangle the decat. Strangely enough I also have a full system in my cellar...
Going back to what Matt said about weight, I wouldnt have thought there was anything in it weight wise..if anything mine would have been heavier. I had a full (big) toolbox in the boot, 2 x socket sets, bag of spanners and a couple of other bits and bobs. If it had been the same in 3rd then perhaps it would add up but we were even stevens in 3rd.....strange. Just trying to find the ECU on the car to see if there is any evidence of tampering.
Maybe they made the silver ones faster than the other colours....LOL!

Mine has filter and same zorst as Pauls and its no way as quick. Im smelling a re-map.
Time to check whats in it paul...
Engines smeared with cheetah blood its for sure now.
Just recieved some instructions from 2 Live as to how to get to the ECU so Ill be having a look at the weekend.
