Now been remapped by Kmaps of K-Series tweaking fame. The plan is for them to dial in a few more pops on the overrun but straight away the map has improved things dramatically-the low speed throttle response is wonderful, mid-range torque improved and the top end better-it no longer feels breathless above 5000rpm. Definitely an improvement I can recommend.

With regards to the videos-I'm awaiting a clear, dry, quiet night so I can pop out and grab some recordings for your aural amusement.

Looking forward to seeing it again Iain! Glad you got some positive benefits from the remap too! Unleash a bit more of that V8 fury! smile

We will get the photos of the ZT and my R soon too smile

how have missed this? Lovely bit of kit - I liked my 190+, except on long journeys (IMO it revved too high for long trips). I suspect that this could be epic

Did you ever get the car rolling road tested after the remap ? Sounds epic with the X-Powers and Kmap

No-I ended up selling it to a friend of mine so I could buy a brand new Elise. Must admit I do miss it-seeing him driving it is like him sleeping with an old girlfriend...
