Broken spark plug :(

Is it worth taking it to a neutral garage and getting a printout of this info...you know just incase when you take it to TMS they don't ahem...accidentally put back on the standard map version and claim it was there all along? Call me a pessimist if you will! :cool:

That sir, is a very good call.
 
No idea if these ecus would do the same, but I know the one onmy old clio when plugged up to some software it'd show the map history and when it was changed/reflashed.
 
Princey, not wanting to put you down at all but... how did you not notice that your car was still rather rapid after asking for a Stage 2 "aggressive" (whatever they hell that means) map to be removed?

Surely the difference between this and stock should be night and day?

because judging by the mess the spark plugs were in, the car was running like a dog.
 
because whats "agressive" about a map? with your car, princey, couldnt you hear the "agressive software" barking and growling at you when you got in the car in the morning?

or does agressive mean that "even when its put back to standard i couldnt actually tell whether there was any change at all" meaning either youre a doper or the software is utter pap
 
It's called Aggresive for a reason.

Question: Who is the target market for mega tuned super fast Astras? Is it Oxbridge graduates? Mensa candidates?

YO MATE GOT ME AN AGGRESIVE MAP ON ME VXR INNIT.

So which of those relates to a remap? Sounds like a marketing term for all the boy racers who want to make their car look "angry"
 
I think 50% of my sexuality is caused by the utter irrationality of the female of our species. It's a no-win situation... with everything ever ever.

I think she emailed that map to my wife today. I decided after a long hard week to watch the BTCC package on ITV4 today and seem to have done something wrong I can't quite work out. Odd breed.

Tell her to meet my wife at lakeside and waste a few quid together, that always cheers them up.

She's an odd one, she's Scottish and doesn't spend money. I had to take her shopping for a new outfit last week because 'there is NOTHING that fits'. Took about 20 minutes and out we came with 2 outfits, shoes etc etc etc. I wouldn't mind if there was loads to do but it's just 'stuff' that really doesn't need doing. Garden is perfect as I a pay a man to make it so. Paintwork is perfect as I just finished paying a man to make it so. Reed bed, it needed work but just paid a man to do it all and that now is perfect. House is clean and needs little doing and the only stuff needed is washing and ironing and that's only because she hasn't sorted a new cleaner out. She is washing her car at the moment, my job apparently....well "you bought it" and that's how it works I believe...

Ah, well i know what my crime was, im afraid i got drunk yesterday while she was out and we were supposed to meet her mate and ****er husband for dinner.

I had to get drunk so i could face listening to the boring ***** waffle on about whatever was last nights topic.

My bad :)
 
you got away with 20 minutes to get clothes?! wowzers

as for maps. ive played with the software on our 1.8t golf. run the timing a fraction of a degree too far forward and you loose pace with the knock sensors doing their job and putting the timing back

add 0.75* and loose 4-5 degree of timing. win???

the car feels a touch more responsive when you step on it, but the power bleeds off seconds later. get the timing right (is right agressive and the rest of their software pap??) and youve got a belter
