Hi does anyone fancy this z and f re-map day its on the 18th of august. Were getting the re-maps done at the gaydon motor museum so going to make a real day of it
I'd quite like the pop in the exhaust that they can apparently provide, I'm looking at getting a nice new exhaust (any idea's where to go would be great btw) and think if I got a nice pop to go with it that would be sound
Plus it's my birthday on the 8th so I should have the doller
sorry guys been busy its 200quid a map for certain as we have four people confirmed. From what fat head said these maps make a fairly big difference so sounds like there well worth there money. Also will be a great day out!!

its a "1.4 ZR", small mods like exhaust etc make no difference. its only if you were to change things like cams, ITB's etc that you would need a different map.
Ah cool, I knew engine mods affected the remap somewhat, but I dont think im likely going to do anything down that route. At most a custom exhaust hence the query.
It's definitely worth it. I can't say I've experienced an increase in mpg, although many say consumption is improved. Mine hasn't got any worse; but the throttle response and power curve is awesome. Perhaps my petrol consumption isn't any better because I'm using the car more and making full use of its potential It's a different car, and only for £200.
I didn't go for the pop-and-burble overrun because I would rather have a Q-car which doesn't flaunt the remap (and I've never really liked that and now I'm getting too old for that sort of thing anyway).
Matt, you'll need it done if you're going to keep up next time!

TBH, I have kinda resigned myself to never keeping up! :lol: I stick to the limits (unless overtaking) and have the smallest engine so kinda realised that! I'm still trying to come to terms with £200. I know its a good deal for a remap, but I just dont know what im getting as such, not sure how much difference I will see.
In summary all remaps from 1.4 to vvc add around 8-10% power, as well as noticeably enhancing throttle response and fuel economy..
There is also an option to take a superunleaded recal which will maximise output - for example there are quite a few 1.4 race cars running this who have commented positively..
Anyway, it's still unclear as to whether the Gaydon session is still on - can anyone interested add there names in the thread..
Thanks for the information. I would love a remap at some point, but it may have to wait until I can get the "insurance cost" side of things in to a reasonable bracket for me.
I've not been advised of any official bookings for Gaydon this Saturday so I'm now assuming that the group visit isn't happening..
For info discount remaps will be available at the South mids Autumn Weekender Northampton on 1st Sept and now also available at the TraxSilverstone event on the 2nd!
Cheers
