I've received the chip from Nick and will hopefully be putting it in on Friday.

I'll post up how I get on with it after that.

Cheers

Paul

I have fitted a new R-Tech chip into my abf today.

All fitted with no problems. Car starts and runs fine, slightly differant exhaust note, and ticks over steady.

On the test drive the throttle response is a bit more instant and it definately feels to have more grunt above 3500rpm. Really wants to pull at the upper rev range.

I had some problems on the track before on some corners which were too fast for second gear but third gear was a bit too high and you ended up a bit bogged down in third. With the new chip it definately seems to pull better in third from lower speeds. Flat out the car seems to just want to pull all the time through all the gears.

Much better than the standard chip and better than the Powerchips on I have been running.

I would definately recommend the R-Tech chip. Nick has done a good job on this and kept me well informed with his progress while he was sorting it out - Cheers Nick.

Cant wait to try it out on the track next year.

Cheers Nick, well impressed. Seems like you got it right first time.

Next track day will be in February. I do a lot of airfield days, mostly Abingdon, Hullavington and Colerne. But get to Castle combe whenever possible, got a day booked at Goodwood in March (must remember to dodge the horses !!!).

I'll let you know how it performs after the first one of next season.

Cheers

Paul

It would be interesting to do a back to back power test with a standard chip :smiley:
