Then we would like your car. lol

As this car is likely to be the big thing in Performance Fords this year, we want one to develop a full live on teh road mapping system for in the near future whilst its a little quiet in this industry, the only requirements are as follows:

1) It must be fully run in already.
2) we will need it for around a week ideally.

Any takers? :

Stu, you had much experience mapping M3`s, if so what they like, how well do they respond to a bit of tweaking

Done plenty mate, see my websearch for more details.
http://www.motorsport-developments.c...data/index.php

They are far better mapped on Shrick Cams ad manifolds though, much more pleasing.

Simply because im affiliated with PassionFord, love the place, and would like to keep teh developments here if possible, its good for me, good for teh members and good for the customer relations it can generate...

I already have one firm offer of an ST for a week but the car isnt available for a while due to other developments with it, so i am still open to a 2nd suggestion.

Thanks for all your kind offers and advice so far, its much appreciated.

Its a valid concern, and one that a LOT of people will quite rightly share.

All i can offer is my word that we do NOT thrash cars to death, we modify and live map 600+ BHP cars for a living, from Audis, through Cosworths to Porsche's, we do this 6 days a week 48 weeks a year and have 1 car EVERY week here for live mapping that is staying a week, so thats approx 48per year that do a weeks stay here. We have absolutely no desire to thrash cars to death or drive like a loony on teh road, we NEED our licenses to stay in business.

Also we have NEVER taken a customers car home with us, crashed one, or blown one up. Fingers crossed the record stays this clean. lol

What more can i say? I hope people can leave their vehicles with us safe in teh knowledge we will treat their cars with respect.

Woah nice offer

Still can't help get the feeling Stu may want to "borrow" one for the week for an extended test drive (kiddin!)

Good luck with it chap, good on ya getting in early on it as there will probably be a lot of demand for this work in the next few month and being one of the first people to custom map one will put you in a really strong position!
