they had a marked impreza and marked volvo and bikes waiting both directions when i went through at 5mph in queuing traffic.. they could have caught anyone on foot the traffic was so bad new flyover was clear though.. think most people were confused and using the old road.. lol Simon

sorry.. delete button put to good use

bit more time to type so will try and expand.. the Apexi is a nice unit.. you get the commander which has various uses for monitoring or even altering certain things if needed etc.. this also has disadvantages if someone alters it for the owner, by accident etc.. The board within the original ecu retains the knock control.. which means say you get a bad batch of fuel it will retard the ignition and save the engine../ with the apexi the engine light with flash and it is down to you to back off to save the engine.. with the apexi you know you have a bad batch of fuel.. you can drive gentle and refuel or add booster.. with the board you don't know it has retarded the ignition removing power.. both suit different view points etc.. the overall result is the same.. ie. there is no real reason one should end up with a quicker car with one over the other and the car should drive in the same way etc they are both a means to the same end.. the Apexi has been around longer and therefore the alterations such as z32 maf sensor and other alterations which relate directly to the ecu are more common and therefore solutions established.. if the car is going to be modded a lot (bigger cc, 400+bhp, etc) then currently the Apexi is easier to map.. but that is a short term situation.. The Apexi is still very well known and a lot of people buy the Apexi PowerFC and then get it mapped as it is a well established route and a lot of people have done that before asking me to map their car and therefore the ecu board is not discussed.

swings and roundabouts

600 fitted and mapped...

last year or so.. very nice to map

so you don't have to buy another ecu then.. can be live mapped with addition of a board. Simon

lol.. my excuse was soft tyres recently (obviously not at TDi ) but went on the rollers today with fully inflated tyres and it made no difference.. lmfao..

93~96 can be live mapped with addition of a board made but ESL Simon

thanks.. hoping it will slowly expand with even more info

depending on year a replacement ecu may not be necessary Good to meet some of you guys on Saturday.. sorry 20 I had to leave before you arrived. Simon

correct.... lol

www.slowboy-racing.co.uk or www.swautos.co.uk.. Simon

lmfao!

where's Walmer???

between ashford and maidstone

Green is the Jolliest

nengun is the cheapest I have seen for the nur spec R

posting to hopefully get notify email from thread so I can be reminded as I hope to attend the day to see what they have there.. always nice to have a nubmer of RR's to use whilst out mapping.. won't be running my own car though.. wouldn't want to break the dyno.. (joke!) Simon

possibly interested

Welcome! like that front bumper!

agreed

sounds good to me.. I am off junction 8 of M20

Thanks that is exactly what I set out to do.. I am trying to provide the service I would want to receive. Simon

if we were offering the same then I would price match.. if you check his and my Apexi mapping prices you will notice he is more expensive which could indicate something with regard to the openecu software in use? perhaps? I used to use the openecu software and switched to EcuTek for good a reason.. cost me thousands to buy the software and become an EcuTek dealer.. I don't regret it in the slightest.. much prefer the software and the extra features etc etc however I am not about to price match to something I am not offering, they are very different. The current pricing allows a decent amount of time to be spent mapping the car and getting it right.. I won't finish a car until I am happy or I will return to finish it off.. seen price wars in other industries and people think they are winning because the price is better.. but that means they have to do more jobs to get the same income, you don't get the same service.. I refuse to do that.. I would rather a car was right. You are right though I should perhaps offer a KS discount.. I'll give it some more thought but initial reaction is 10% off.. but I cannot do that on the powerfc remap price as I believe I am perhaps too cheap on that at the minute. I could perhaps also do a group buy if there was enough interest. Thanks Simon
