Yellow lamin-x fogs
17" Fiat alloys prof. refurbed in Anthracite with a hint of purple in direct sunlight
Red abarth centre caps
Red front and rear callipers
Chrome dustcaps with red Fiat logo
White LED side lights
Halfords HID equivalent headlights (did have 6000k HIDs but kept blowing and got a refund. they wasnt even a standard fit bulb was faaaaaar to big)

been looking into remaps and a local tuning place says theres 2 types of ECUs one can be plugged and played and the other needs some soldering to the ECU which obviously costs more. is this right?
thanks :)
 
My mate had his soldered, the company was rs tuning in leeds, one of the best around here, they had to wire a resistor in as some Ecus are tuning protected apparently, his was a 59 plate, so I'm guessing the older tjets won't be protected, just a guess but that's what he was told, his car got 194bhp at the fly and 220lb/ft torque :) was a monster

dont really want to mess about with the ecu! minea 57 plate so wonder if it will need soldering :/
 
I don't think it will do. As I say my mates was a 59 plate. It was nerve racking for him too but they know what they are doing, they tune full race spec cars including drag/drift and track cars really good guys too, if you have issues or want the map tweaking they will do it, fully custom mapping.

cheers for info pal! what happens if I try a plug and play map on it and it doesnt work?
 
By plug and play do you mean generic? It should work but you won't know the figures unless you get it on a dyno, this is also included when rs tuning map your car they do a before and after rolling road to prove the gains :)

Did he tune down on torque for the safety of gearbox mines 250lb/ft on a tuning box but was going to go to rs once intercoolers on
 
Yeah he can tune it down mate, the guy is called Paul. Really spot on guy and he knows about cars, as in he will talk to you about what you want and the dangers of certain figures, so he will take into account what tolerances your driveshafts/ gearbox/ clutch can take etc :) I'm going once I have the money to do it
 
I think it was recommended by paul due to the shafts mate, as far as I know anyway :) baring in mind my mate josh blew two shafts to bits once it was mapped lol
 
installed a pipercross panel filter last night courtesy of TangoMachine91...
and when I say installed I mean he put it in haha!

wanting to get better airflow to the airbox now tho so is there anywhere that do silicone intake pipes or bigger ones or anything like that?

thanks :)
