Wheel spinning and 4 MPG more

Post by Powercat » Thu Apr 07, 2011 7:17 pm

I took my car to Jasons workshop on Monday morning and by the afternoon it was ready for me, so off I went down the road taking it easy at first, got to a set of traffic lights where I was in front and as soon as they went green, nailed it to the floor
Wow I was wheel spinning and was doing over 60 in no time :o :D I don't intend to do this very often but it's nice to know i now can.

Normally my average mileage was showing 27.2 if I do regular resets then it can show up to 36 now I am showing a 30.7 to 31.2
without doing an more resets whatsoever, though to keep it at 31MPG on the motorway I must keep it at 70.

I should've had the remap done earlier, I think in about 20 fill up's I will have my money back in fuel savings :D :D :D
Jason even got my X Bleaping when i lock and open the doors, a good feeling to know you have secured your car properly :thumbsup:

Thank you Jason and your team at chiptune especially for fitting me in at short notice :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Snap, i have pretty much the same comments regarding Jason and his team fantastic service, dropped the car off first thing and went off for some brekfast and a bit of shopping and came back to a beast, the throttle response is massively improved and power is much smoother all across the rev range, now i was expecting to get it back and to end up paying Mr Shell even more money but amazingly when i dont drive with lead feet my average mpg has actually improved, not something i was expecting from the big v8, but once again a big thankyou to Jason and his boys, Top service highly reccomended!!!!
