Right this is the Latest:
1. I can go for Andys SMT6 Piggy Back system, Which I think is probably the Daddy of systems because it will cost £600. Which Im not sure is worth it on my car for the extra 1/2bhp I get onto top of an off the shelf chip, But not entirely out of question.
2. I have thought about R-sport chip alot as it is the cheapest of all the chips as is designed by R-sport, However r-sport themselves have said it makes hardly any difference on the mk1 172s and is not worth getting, Plus Nick at HP said there is a price increase but doesnt know how much yet was supposed to be £252inc Vat.
3. I have been told by quite a few people (and I have rung everyone I can find a number of that do ecu chipping/remapping etc for advise) That the Superchip is really good on the mk1 172s. So this leaves me with two options on this one. 1. I can travel Ilford and have a superchip done, and then tested on a rolling road, £375+Vat which is about £440, But this seems alot of money for a superchip really. Other option is with this Guy in South London, which is also near me that will Drive the car firstly to feel where the flat spots are, then download the mapping from my ECU, and Download mapping from the Superchip ECU for my car compare them, Upload the Superchip ECU and then make addition changes where he feels neccessary, He also said he can increase Rev limiter etc up to me! All this for only £295inv Vat and Fitting etc, Am tempted by this one at the mo.
So if anyone has had bad experiences with Superchips please let me know, Before I get this done, which hopefully will be tomorrow unless Andy finds away for me to afford his one!
