Felix W, good to hear from you. i go to Nurburgring for the 24 hr Rennen every year. have come 2nd in class last two years in a group A Honda and in a M3 BMW.
the ecu wires in by cut and splice to the original loom at the factory ecu and we then house the new one in the battery box. but it has a plug at the new ecu end. you could run the wires if lengthened into the car and conseal the wiring from the factory loom,as i have and it is hard to notice.
please ask any further questions.

165.. eek.. that explains a lot actually..

what does your piggyback do for that then out of interest?

I want th 187 that the car maker said it's capable of, what happened to the bloody gap I ask you.

I love the car, it's zippy enought for cruising around, but I can't say that it gives me that kick in the **** sensation I thought it would after the first test drive a long while ago now.

and I still have to slip 2nd gear to get it to step out in corners, and have the old 8 second button push at start up time to boot - crap.

sigh..

The only way mine steps out in 2nd gear corners is if it wet, or I am going too quick (or more quick than I would want to). I suppose I am a bit used to V8 punch.
