I do have a good value of a pound note, but also respect the time, money and effort involved in being a successful mapper, hence why I DID go to Harvey (so
to Bal
)
If I had the time, spare engine/car then I'd be prepared to have a play as it's the only way to learn more, but not on my daily driver.
i was refering to the MAIN point of this ecu is home mapping,,,,,, well then the diy people will choose the after market on average as then they feel they get a new ecu ( secs being a example here) BUTthis product is gonna be not far off autronic,,,,,,,,, but we know that autronic is what all the big cossies have now,,,,,, so why not just have that then ?
AND we also know that the MAJORITY of people going aftermarket for there cossie will get someone else to map it otherwise wheres the benifit if your mapping is gonna loose you power
THEN theres the FACT that autronic/dta ect can be used on other cars, meaning you get fed up with your cossie and decide to buy a evo then the autronic can be moved over and mapped by the persons mappper of choice for it
can the rp labs have that action just as easy do ypu think
im sorry but i love messing with cars but mapping is the same as setting cars up,, but much more complex and i dont even set my car up as i get stu to do it the i know its done proper
for this product to take over the market and compete its gonna have to be cheaper and thats a fact
what you are doing it looking at pectel and saying its cheeper,,,,,, but ignoring the dta market as thats DIY, emerald is also DIY too
i know you all love to have a dig at secs BUT say that this convices him to rethink proper and get his arse into gear,,,,,,,,, he releses his 600 quid new ecu,,,,,,,, your gonna be bolloxd aint ya
also this product is only gonna sell based on the aftersales promise,,,, using mike and harvey as marketing tools, selling there names on it, giving us there nod for there approval just like gary lineker does for walkers
if it was a product like the secs board then id agree its the bollox of a product but this seems to be a ecu thats just got the ability to be self mapped,,,,,,,,,, that to me sounds like buying a cosworth with the ability to have others drive it,,, not the reason why i bought my cossie and aint gonna be a reason for me to buy this product
infact it sounds almost like its been reconditioned
fact of the matter is i can buy a l8 ecu and get stu to map it and firt a coil pack board for less money than me buying this and live mapping it blind with the help of a busy guy at the other end of the phone,,,,,,
good luck wioth the product, maybe i dont uinderstand th point of it
its just i have no interest in learning how to map a car,,,,,, cheaper and easier to get a pro to do it
just like spraying my car tbh,,,,,,,, apart from thats alot easier to biodge and the car will still be able to drive,,,,,,, as i said though, i could be looking at this wrong
