Default Anyone running MODX ?

Afternoon gents ! [and possibly ladies :P ]

Any of you running MODX on your ST? , currently running DSCi on mine and love the kick in the back it gives me - but have MODX on my stratagem racer handset , been thinking of switching over , vehicle is also running -

DS 3" Downpipe & 100 cell race cat
Piper Cat Back
Airtec GEN3 cooler
K&N Panel Filter
RS Clutch & Flywheel...

Just wondering what to expect ..., I know I could just go and "bang it on" now, but thought id get a little bit of advice first ....,

I changed from dsci to modx just recently mate. It's not the same ....wait....boost! You get from the dsci but it delivers it in a way that's more progressive and will take you higher into the rev range before the need to change. First thing on a morning or when cold though you will get the red arrow "change up" light so just go with it for a few minutes til it's warmed up and you won't be disappointed pal. Takes a little getting used to but it's definitely worth it. Anyway you have a handset so if you don't like it just revert back. lol. Good luck with it

Shite !! - could kick mesel now lol , never mind - someone will have it off ya

Or keep it as a spare for yours

Gonna get mine straight on when it arrives then try MODX I think - although im a little aprehensive about running MODX daily without an RS oil cooler :/ ....

I always run the car up to temp [especially oil temp] and allow it to idle for 2-5mins before switchin it off like, so should be ok [fingers crossed ]

If you want to reset the ECU memory, just pull out Fuse 26 (K.A.M. fuse (Keep Alive Memory)) from the engine bay fuse box rather than faffing about with battery terminals.
