Emerald installation

[anonymous-user]

Hi guys,

I am looking at getting the car remapped once it is out of the paint shop. Looking at the costs it invites the question if it is worth swapping to an Emerald and be done with it?

For those that have done so what are your opinions? I had an Emerald on my Caterham and thought it was great. The standard ignition system is working so it's not like it has to be changed.

Thanks.

The old saying is, "if it ain't broke why fix it" especially if you are going to sell.

But if you were considering keeping it, then I would seriously consider Powers Performance MBE Upgrade. Which is more costly, but you only get what you pay for considering the amount that you have already spent.

I get that, but it's all about adding value, plus I have this thing with making things 'right'. It's not top of the list, just interested to see what others have found. I did speak to Powers a while back and it was over £3K to fit the MBE. That just sounded like a lot of money to be honest.

Thanks for the info.

Will give Joolz a call and see what he thinks....

Blimey, some very different views Originality I guess is one thing, but where do you stop? I’ll be speaking to Joolz and having a think about it all. If the standard Lucas system is worth mapping then it does sound the most sensible option right now.

I can’t see Griffith prices going ballistic any time soon, maybe holding firm and slowly getting better but everyone has been saying the same thing for years?

Mine is a way off totally standard but I have tried to improve it in every area using what I hope are suppliers and parts that are deemed to add real value to the car.

Thanks for all the responses!
