mikeyb13 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Hi All Went to see Andy Forrest on Friday to have my new ECU fitted and the car mapped. Was a bit nervous as the car is new to me and I had got the Apexi ECU for a too good to be true price on E-bay with cash on collection. But things went fine he had it fitted in no time, followed by 15 mins of Laptop Black Magic then we hit the road. Apologies to anyone who was held up in the area when out on the road, certainly got some strange looks. What can I say? It feels like a new car, well not quite but its certainly a lot faster. I no longer have to rev the engine as hard for maximum pace, it feels like it has a lot more torque. Hoping for a second less on the quarter mile (maybe a bit optimistic?) Where Im noticing the biggest difference is cruising on the motorway and traveling slowly. Where as before it was a complete pain in the @rse its now almost smooth. Would never have known about these things were it not for the site, so many of these type of sites seem to be full of people looking to knock newbies. But not here. I fancy it would have cost me a lot more to get the car this good, so thanks all for advice on various things. Cheers Mikey

Think I am now on a self impossed internet drinking ban thats just one dumb comment too many Not that I stick too anything.I swore to my pals the car was more than fast enough when I bought it and I would never Mod Story so far V3 TypeR (280bhp), Full Decat, K&N, PFR7B Plugs, Apexi FC+ Commander. Dont know about the BHP or Torque figures, He didnt tell me, I would be guessing at 310-330bhp. Should be enough (for now) Fancy some whiteline goodies next
