Clarkie172 · Jul 21, 2005

GarethM · Jul 21, 2005

hopefully theyll sort it.

will you be getting another one?

cli0 172 · Jul 21, 2005

very surprised they wouldnt exchange tho

badinvincible · Jul 21, 2005

I dont know, I just dont understand that sentence. I think its the question mark that is throwing me.

Could it be you were sent the wrong one?

badinvincible · Jul 21, 2005

Possibly a Mk2 one with FBW?

Day · Jul 21, 2005

That was Dr Days diagnosis

badinvincible · Jul 21, 2005

Great minds blah blah.

McBunny · Jul 21, 2005

i think millitant badgers were involved !!

Clarkie172 · Jul 21, 2005

lol. the q mark was a confused question mark! why couldnt i have another? why would they offer a refund and not a new one? they asked me if it had cruise control b4 i got it?so i presume they new it was not a FBW. i still want one though! im a bit curious now though, i might just go to bb and get theirs?

GarethM · Jul 21, 2005

yeah i would be cautious of the rsport one

try BBPT chip see if thats ok. whats the price difference?

Day · Jul 21, 2005

Not all Mk2 172s had cruise control so if thats the only question they asked then I would of been hessitant on making the purchase.

Hope you get it sorted soon Paul.

Clarkie172 · Jul 21, 2005

it will cost 60 more but includes 2 rolling roads. gareth u say try BBPT chip so easily lol

GarethM · Jul 21, 2005

thanks dude!!! lol

Clarkie172 · Jul 21, 2005

what would ppl do if in my position? regarding the ecu

GarethM · Jul 21, 2005

you already have my suggestion!!!!

Clarkie172 · Jul 21, 2005

give it a try lol u make it sound like im buying a new flavour packet of crisps!not over £300 worth of ecu!

jph172 · Jul 21, 2005

I know i have a bias opinion but ive now got the bb tuning ECU on my car and im so impressed.
Car idles the same but revs to 7.8k and i had it rolling roaded at santa pod where my car was hot through doing runs allday and with pipercross open filter and cat-back exhaust pulled 181.7bhp at the flywheel

At Surrey rolling road day which was a hotter day before the chip i only managed 167bhp at the fly AND my car had beeen left longer to cool down

Not saying the ECU gave me an increase of 14.7bhp but its how everything works better together on the car.

Clarkie172 · Jul 21, 2005

how much can i get that same chip for then mate?

just trying to make it sound as appealing as possible.!!

Day · Jul 21, 2005

Will you not still have the same throttle setup issues (if thats what the problem was) on the BBT chips?

badinvincible · Jul 21, 2005

If I was you I would buy Mike172sports reflashed Group N.

Clarkie172 · Jul 21, 2005

dunno mate, the rsport just wouldnt start?

Its the same as what he had I believe.

badinvincible · Jul 21, 2005

Yeah, youre right. Come to think to of it, it was the Mk2 one he had as well.

Day · Jul 21, 2005

Indeed it was, came out of Niks 172

jph172 · Jul 21, 2005

Taking it out of a another may give you the same problem clarkie cos its not use to your car. the bb ecu is new so it will lock onto your car and work perfectly as mine did-they just took out my normal one then replaced it with it and it fired up straight away.
I reckon your looking at about £300 for it but you would have to call them up and ask them cos im not entirely sure.
But REMEMBER for that price you get the assurance that if anything should go wrong they WILL sort it for you.

Clarkie172 · Jul 21, 2005

ye thats what i was thinkin!

GarethM · Jul 21, 2005

clarkie if you decide to get one let me no an i might come down with you.

Clarkie172 · Jul 21, 2005

ok mate. next week?lol

GarethM · Jul 21, 2005

lol, you like that flavour crisp then?!!!!

i need to find a new job first but am ringing a few 2mor.

my credit card has taken a battering!!!!

Christopher · Jul 21, 2005

ive heard good things about the BBPT setup Paul.

pity you had to find out about the Rsport one like this.

I might be after one soon, so let me know how you get on with the BB.

lawrence · Jul 21, 2005

clarkie and phoenixy let me know if and when you go bbpt ill come with you guys and get my car chipped aswell, was supposed to get it done this week but money is tight

Clarkie172 · Jul 22, 2005

ok mate will let u no!

IsvenII · Jul 22, 2005

will the bbpt gp n ecu cause the rpm to be higher like that of the rsport? both of these are plug and play ecu right? you do not have to get a tuner to mess around with it like a piggyback yeh?

BBPT · Jul 22, 2005

In response to questions raised in this thread :

1) The GRP.N ECU retains the factory RPM idle speed

2) It is a plug and play ECU (no splicing of wires etc)

3) No messing around required, V easy to install
