General 1.2 ecu remap

[Scorg]

Just had the ECU remapped on my Brava today, alfaNige came up and done this.
Havn't had chance to give it a good go about in yet, but will do tomorrow, but there did feel to be a difference in say third gear where it isnt as lack luster now.

anyhow, will see how it goes tomorrow as well.

As a side note, something im going to have to get checked out, Nige plugged the hand held ecu reader into the car and it listed a throttle pot error

Had that problem on my rover where it managed to kill the Map sensor on its ecu, dont want that again.

I must be the only person who thinks third gear is OK in the 1.2 (I hate fourth myself). Ho hum.

Well it wasnt bad, but ive got a big nasty hill to get up, when driving into my town. it starts at a roundabout and is a 60 limit road. I need to rev up to 5K in 2nd before dropping into 3rd or the car will just not pull up the hill at all.

Think wimmy hated 2nd gear which that to me felt fine.

 

[Helz]

I do that anyway

 

[Scorg]

lol, oh well, on that bit of road there is no choice for me, maybe upto the rev limiter if you want to try it?

 

[Helz]

I did once accidentally, forgot I hadn't changed up

 

[Scorg]

I done that once on a motorway, in 3rd, car stopped pulling, looked down, was at nearly 90

and revs at 6750, oops

Lol, 2nd was fine for me. I used to skip 3rd before the remap. rev the arse in 2nd then change to 4th. 3rd was useless prior to the tune.

How do you forget to change gear? Take your cars back to the dealer and get a refund!

the cars so damn quiet compared to my previous Rover. hardly much engine noise in comparison. was also rather busy on the motorway with a few things happening at once, I guess I thought I was going slower

ahh, 3rd wasnt bad for me, but i'll find out tonight how it feels on that hill, will drop down to third at 4000rpm, see how it feels
