Hi All!
       I am thinking about a remap for my edition 30 and would like to know which is the best one to go for!? I have had a price from superchips at £540. Also looking to get some 19" BBS CH with 225 35 19" tyres! Can anyone point me in the right direction for the best and cheapest place to pick these up?

Cheers John
Are your 19's purely for aesthetic purposes? Every inch in diameter will make your car less responsive and ultimately slower round corners.

Despite popular opinion.
EDITION 30.
I couldn't eat a whole one.

www.starperformance.co.uk is right on your door step and they supply GIAC switchable maps which can have 5 programmes.

Keith on here is getting his new Ed30 done there sometime soon. Maybe Jim would do a discount for 2 cars?

Going to forget about the wheels as Spoke to Awesome today and the wheels alone are £1399 with Vat on top of that price! Will spend my cash on the Remap and Milltek! Asked Awesome about there APR remap and by the time you pay for the switchable program you are talking £700 and then an extra £55 + VAT for a power run on the rollers! I think I will be getting the Superchip remap with the ability to put the stock program back into the ECU for when she needs to go in for a service. I was thinking about Star Performance but have been put off the place since I was there in December with my R32 as Jim was not really interested in chatting just wanted my Cash!

Probably got him on a bad day then! Still not sure what remap to go for! I understand that the GIAC Remap done by Star is the only one that does not put up the ecu flash counter!

How much is the APR remap? What price have you been given for the milltek?

APR remap is £499 + vat. Full Milltek is about £1200 inc vat fitted
