I HAVE OWNED A 2002 REG GTS-R FOR THE LAST 12 MONTHS AND HAVE FOLLOWED THE HSV FORUM. MY CAR HAS A COLD AIR INDUCTION AND VERY LITTLE EXHAUST TO SPEAK OF. I HAVE READ WITH INTREST THE POSSIBLE BENEFITS OF HAVING THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM RE MAPPED. WOULD ANYONE OUT THERE AGREE? AND IF SO WHAT SORT OF POWER GAINS COULD I EXPECT. P.S. THE CAR WILL BE AT GOODWOOD TOMMORROW AT THE GOLDTRACK EVENT IF ANYONE WANTS TO SAY HELLO.

titan - If you haven't done so already, I'd have a chat with Mark at Linden SV (see above links) who prepared your car when it arrived in the UK and knows all about the do's & don'ts of GTS-R tuning, having worked on most of them.

"Titan" I missed you today at Goodwood, but had a chance to have a look at the car.............

I see you must do a few track days as the front seats look a bit focused for road work!!!!

From the look of it the car is one of the last three GTS-R sold as it is VX1 and has the fabulous GTS (OZ) wheels like "v2hsv" and "HSVGTSCoupe"

Next time you are down I will pop over as I only live up the road and have data logged/tuned my car there a few times.

Is your car build No 001 ?

Mark did some work on my car earlier in the year and is the best person to speak to.

N2HSV

Mine's build No 002, with the good looking wheels.

N2 HSV - Saw your car at LSV having a new exhaust fitted. What else did you have done? The car looked great & it was the first time I had seen a VX GTS-R. Loved the wheels.

Titan,

I guess that's both XV1's accounted for.

Going to Santa Pod on the 5th and a run down the south coast on the 12th. May see you there.?
