(G) Had a remap today, results?

Today I met the boys from Angel Tuning. Nigel forgot I was coming but when I got there he was very accommodating and called Andy who had the kit. Within the hour the job was done. Nigel gave it a blast and asked me to have a go. Quite pleased about that cause he scared me a bit. Now, being a very sedate driver I took it leisurely but noticed the improvement immediately. It wasn't until I got nearer Birmingham (Chav Central) that I had chance to give it some oomph. Typical clown in a tarted up Focus right up my rear with nowhere to go. I have never notice that puff of smoke until today but christ, thats all that was there when I left him behind. It's not till you look at the speedo that you appreciate the speed your'e going. In all a great improvement on something that I already thought was brilliant.

People, for those of you with a JTD, pay these blokes a visit and find out what you are missing. Oh, and be careful out there.

Thanks to the yellow Abarth for giving me the flash/warning about the arsehole in the speedamera van.

Nice to hear it, bozzy

And remember, he can do more than just the JTD Stilos

Yes, but on a selfish note I wish it was only the JTD. That's bad isn't it thinking like that.

It worked a wonder on the 2.4 petrol as well

He remapped the Ulysse 2.2JTD ages ago

<cough> I didn't forget... I was merely seeing if you could remind me<cough>

Ah, sorry about that, you have to try these things out though ;-)

Thanks for coming over Bozzy and sincere apologies, it was a vey long week for us and Friday was a nightmare, no excuse though - it was entirely my fault as I didn't put you in the book. Good job the missus was dressed!

Very nice car you have there too :-)

It's really a shame nothing can be done to the 1.6

Of course it can, you just need an understanding dealer to take it in on a part exchange.

LOL. I've considered bumping up my HP and doing that.... not sure i'd appreciate the insurance on a faster motor though...

A JTD is only a group 5, not that high is it

Damn I wish I could get a remap!! NOT FAIR!

I was down the pub with Bob in Disguise the other day and I mentioned the Stilo JTD as a possible next car for me but was curious as to what the car is like before and after Angel Tuning have their fun.

Can anyone give me real opinions of the car before and after?

Is it true that the remap is untraceable except on a rolling road?

I know the remap and CDA take the car to 155bhp but how does it actually feel to drive? Is it very responsive?

Any bad points to watch out for? both before and after the work

Sorry for all the questions but the thought of a 155bhp Stilo for the same insurance group as a 1.2 Fiesta is quite appealing

My real opinion of before and after is well documented on this forum. There are no "iff's or butts", it's so very noticeable as to be a transformation. And that's on a JTD that Nigel from Angel Tuning said was a very quick example anyway.

From 115 to 155 approx is a big jump. I was most dubious of the results. Being a "glass half empty" kind of bloke I thought I would be asking for a refund which comes as part of the package. Take a look at their website and get all the answers there. There is some info on the traceability of a re-map but when I declared mine the Insurance Company (Zurich) had no method for rating a software re-map. Made no difference to my premium. However, they have seen an increase in these MTA's and it's activated a request for change to their rating method. They are gonna get me next year.
