@ luke : damn, thats a hell off a story u got there! thank god indeed u recovered very well!
and it's prenounced Mechelen but i won't sue u for that
a small world indeed!
i work on cars for a living so ya the whole "shezam" is abit in my blood i guesse
and u landed very well indeed, i would love to travel for my job!
@tom: thehe, well how about that, u see, sometimes the best locations are right in your backyard
and yup, the guy in londerzeel, it ain't that far for me, maybe half hour so it's ok, and i would not focus on the numbers u see on sites "this is towards luke also"
i've heard a lot off good comments about dvx because he's one in a few guys who doesn't really put a number on the horsepower when u bring your car, he is known to find the best balance off the engine between performance and durability and the HP/torque number is just a suprise, thats what i'm looking for, i don't want to bring my car to someone who tells me he can give me 160hp no problem, cause thats just putting the max. it can handle on it and so destroying the engine in time. u mentioned powerboxes, in my opinion those are the worst u can get and i would never consider putting that on my car, it's like u say, it's a boost u give to your car without considering your sensors and all the other stuff so again destroying your engine in time.
if you meen Heinz with the HS Tronic i wouldn't go there, i got some mates that live in maldegem that went there and they aren't really happy, like u say more black smoke and not finetuned properly.
I've also looked into ZIP tuning with the warranty, but again like u say it's abit to shady for me to even ask for some info. and also it's true u'll keep the warranty, but like luke said your insurance will go up then cause they have to let the insurance company know.
@ luke again: i know it's itching but if i was you i would consider waiting abit with the mapping on a brand new car, like u and i mentioned, it's best to let the engine run smoothly "around 10000km" before boosting it, it won't damage the engine if you do it early but it's also logical i guesse that u don't for example take a brand new ferrari from the dealer and get it to it's max speed on the first road u get to
if you know what i mean
so, today i made the call and i'm getting myself a supersprint exhaust system, center pipe, rear exhaust and endpipe, i want it to look as OEM as possible so the only diff. with my stock one will be that i now have chrome endpipes and that the exhaust flow is much better offcourse, including a bit more sound.
i've also asked to remap the ecu, and he mentioned that i would be suprised with what result i'll get, cause apperently the 1.4 122hp engine is a very nice engine to fine tune so he said.
if i wouldn't have the exhaust it would be sheduled for begin march but now we just have to wait untill the exhaust system arrives so it'll take abit longer but thats ok
Luke.
