well, post here for your impressions...

the guy himself was very knowledgeable, talking to him gave me confidance...

after a two hour drive home, I can report, the difference in the car is quite suprising.... feels like it has enough power now! feels like it IS a proper hot hatch, instead of a warm one! performance is stronger in all the gears, and it has a deffinate turn of speed, that makes it much more enjoyable to drive. This is how they should have made it from the factory! lol...

MPG on the way there 43.5 - on the way back, 49.1 !!
(exactly the same type of driving, I didn't go overboard thrashing it at every oppertunity....)

to angel tuning....

[Alex_gregory_uk]

What can I say???? Thanks Angel Tuning. Performs fantastically now. The grin on Sharkriders face after he test it post remap said it all!

The car really does pull now. Second is a fun gear!!!! Although I feel tyres may well need replacing sooner now, especially since it easily spins in second now.

Would recomend this to every 1.9 owner.

Any further info required ask away and I'm sure we have 4 very happy angel tuned GP owners after today.

Nice to meet you as well.

mine has 3,800 miles on it now.... 1st still feels weak, but it does in every turbo diesel! I reccon 0-60 in 7.5 seconds is about right........

forget 0-60 though... the mid range (a-road overtaking speeds) is fantastic...

you won't regret it

[Alex_gregory_uk]

I have just over 11K on my car. Not sure about 0-60 times, 1st gear seems a lot more useable now as before it was useless. But i would reckon it's taken a second and a half off. Think 7.5 would be aceivable Definately recommend it.

[DannyWestwell1986]

sweet lads, cheers for that. defo getting it done. let us know if it gets better and better aswell. give us some weekly updates or summat.

[RichC]

Agree with the other guys, im very pleased with the results. As has been said already, first gear still isnt great, but it is very short intentionally so that cant be helped.

The 0-60 time you quoted is what i got out of a performance calculator, which before having it done, i thought was a little optimistic. Since driving back, it definatley seems possible.

Thanks again to Alex for arranging it all, and obviously to Nige. Nice bloke to talk to, have a lot of faith in his work, will certainly be recommending him to everyone.

Good to meet some of the FF members as well, even though it was only for a short time.

Nige is a top bloke Had both my Fiats done through him.

If you want more info, take a look on their site:

We were told that it would take around an hour per car including pre and post testing. However, it was done in much less than that. I got there at about half 10 and by 12 3 cars were done and gone. Really was good service.

The more smoke, the better

[Bob in disguise]

Some smoke i aint bothered about but i dont want the smoke screen marks old mk2 JTD used to do!

[wolfracepunto]

Why not?? Its funny leaving people in a cloud of black soot

But yeah I agree, too much is a bit embarrassing.

[sharkrider]

well the 1.9 sporting has a partical filter so shouldn't smoke at all! I've noticed the odd tiny puff if you floor it from less than 2k, but its as good as clear.....
