  1. Just checked my costs - was just over £1k including boost control solenoid, 10 position map switch and D9 comms cable foir the M4. I run closed loop on lambda and no pro features like launch control (struggle for somewhere to point the wheel speed sensor!!)

     

    Looks like prices for base ECU have gone up over the last 5 years!

     

    If you are planning on using all of these i guess the DTA could offer a good cost saving!


  2. Neil, at well over £2000 for a Motec that a £900 DTA can do (as far as what my humble Yaris will require anyway), I think the chances are pretty good.  A key point will however, be if Adrian Smith will be prepared to map a DTA ecu. There is no one else I trust to map my car(s) for me.

     

    Completely agree Dave, no one else maps my cars either!

     

    My motec was nowhere near 2k, though guess it depends on what model you are looking at!

     

    (though since i bought mine looks like the M4 has been discontinued  :huh: )


  3. Shocking how quick a year passes!

     

    I have just renewed my insurance, so a bit of feedback for anyone else who has theirs upcoming...

     

    I was with Sky last year, and renewal came back about £100 cheaper than last years at £715!

     

    but decided a ring around was in order :

     

    Prestige - promised a call back but never received

    A-plan - quoted £585

    AIB - quoted £550

     

    Sky then dropped their renewal quote by another £185 to beat AIB

     

    I decided best option was to go with AIB for 2 reasons :

     

    they will be able to offer better cover with my MR2 as a second car.

    Principles - If they could offer this price, they should have done this before sending me my renewal, rather than making me do the hardwork :angry:

     

    Looking forward to another year in the GT86 :D

     


  4. Sounds like a great idea! 

     

    I too have similar plans to buy something I can crash and not worry to much! Currently looking at a MR2 Mk1 myself. One that's already in the TSS and well known to Adrian. It competed in the TSS last year. 

     

    But I totally understand what you're saying regarding crashing the GT86. I could never push my GT86 on track to be competitive in the class that i'd be in. 

     

    I heard MR2  :P

     

    Which one are you looking at Jay?
