ECU Dilema......help....
OK you all now know i have ceased to use the S8 as basically its crap or maybe it was just my one...ok it was just my one
So i got a choice of AUTRONIC SM2 or SM4......now you may say its fooking obvious BUT i want traction control which is gear selectable...it looks as if SM4 may not get it...so if it doesnt i am tempted to just go SM2 after all it does Rodneys car ok
....Obvious SM4 has more features...but do i really need em on a road car?..I have looked and feel i dont as i am used to S8 which has nowhere near the features of SM2
...TC on its own is around £500 but this ECU has it already in it
Mark obviously says you wouldnt buy last years when this years model is coming...but i want TC
Fook of saying its crap Rainbird...

You are a Madette, so no harm in sounding like one
. Go along with what Mark says and at least you'll have a fast car that works instead of going by your own (lack of
) wisdom and having a slow one that doesn't

Well I'm at Bedford on 19th Feb, why don't you show me?

You are forgetting, my own car had a proven 180mph top end - my Escort would run rings around it in ANY scenario other than a straight blast from 90-170mph. However, in any real world situation, it would destroy my Sapphire, and I know my Sapphire would destroy your car (which hasn't got the traction / handling / braking set up that my Sapphire had/has - as it is still alive
), so ipso-facto

i'm in the same boat ,sm4 is not realeased yet iirc , i was waiting for sm4 just cus it has knock control , but am thinking i can get a stand alone knock device for less than the cost difference between sm2 & sm4
don't know what other features there are ?
another point for me is mark will not have mapped one before although its probably well within his capability i don't fancy being guinea pig.
any cost info out for the sm4 yet?
so looks like sm2 for me
