Cinq Sporting Performance Chip

I recently purchased a Cinq Sporting Performance Chip from mckcrich and i must say it have made a huge difference on the drivability of my car. The flat spots have gone and now the engine has a very good rev range which is very smooth.

performance and torque has gone up and the car pulls stronger in all gears.

i must confess for £40 its the best mod that i have ever brought.

I have got a gas flowed and ported head, performance cam with an induction kit and a remus exchaust and i must say it makes a huge difference with these mods.

My advise...... buy one!

Excellent, always nice when a mod goes to plan

Did the insurance company load your premium by much?

Re: Cinq Sporting Performance Chip

Then they contact the previous owner and ask them if they fitted it!

I'm thinking of getting one of these chips.

Re: Cinq Sporting Performance Chip

I used to work in a garage and being the tea boy I had to go and take the insurance assessors to the pound to inspect cars that had been recovered and they were pretty thorough.

Re: Cinq Sporting Performance Chip

David,

Glad to hear that the chip does the job, with the mods on your car, I wasn't as certain of the gain as on a standard car. I must say your car is really quick. It was good to meet you on Friday,

All the best

Regards,
Michael

Re: Cinq Sporting Performance Chip

More words of praise; i bought one of these chips of mckcrich a week or so ago but have only just had the chance to take the car out on some roads i know and give it a bit of welly.

the difference is amazing, more power there, smooth delivery, no flat spot, makes the car easier to drive and has more kick when u tad the loud pedal. worth every penny, liam - stop thinking about buying one and just buy one already!

Re: Cinq Sporting Performance Chip

I'd appreciate some help to further test the chip.

A couple of people have been enquiring if the Chip will work with a 1242 conversion. Is any one that is running a 1242 on a cinq IAW 16F ER ECU prepared to test out the Chip?

I would be prepared to let the person that tests it withn a 1242 have the Chip at half price i.e. £20. usual moneyback guarentee applies. If the tester is prepared to meet me to run some dyno runs, I'll do these for free (whatever the result).

email or pm me if your interested.
