Perfect tourer
I started a thread of my perfect tourer and my MGZT-T auto +SE is almost that. The only - is the fuel consumption. The best would be my spec car as a CDTi remapped to at least 160, preferably 180. I understand from mikeyboy that the manual diesel cars cam only be remapped to 160 whereas the autos can have more. Something to do with the BMW’s crankshaft is a weaker Rover substitute. As I only want auto I would want a big remap.

A remapped CDT is a much better car. I have a CDTI and if it is standard then with my style of driving and without the caravan in tow don't feel the need to have it remapped. My CDT, wow yes it needed it, a CDT is a dog, standard. CDTI is noticeably better macafee2 |

So any witness, using a modern car as a yardstick, is unlikely to say "it flew away" even if it had a remap.

You would probably know the difference from a Rover 75 flying away (by Rover 75 standards) from the lights and one that isn't. macafee2 Last edited by macafee2; 15th April 2021 at 21:04.. |

I doubt my Car would pay off the kind of debt you speculate a Re-Map doesn't put a Car in the position of being any more likely to cause an accident than any other Vehicle - an unprofessional/Bad Re-Map may potentially make a Car Dangerous...a Hazard even - likewise an unprofessional/Bad Tyre/Wheel change. what grounds should we Pay More for Insurance ? r.e Performance Mods - should we Pay More Insurance if we Pay More for Better/Safer "Performance" Tyres ? lol..... some folks must have Too Much Money they want to give it away I Don't have a Re-Map Paul. |
