ECU remap on 1.8 V6?
-
My backbox is about 3.5" rolled, I like it :)
A decent cold air setup and decat pipe should get things shifting a bit better.
I don't have a paint job :lol: paint looks good in my signature, but it's not great. £400 for a respray is worryingly cheap to me! About 1.5k gets a good job done over here.

yeah he is a friend of mine, he used to work here http://www.castlemotors.com/searchFS.htm
so he knows how to spray lol. he has his own business now spraying and panel beating. yeah the paint looks awesome in your sig. the only thing i am worried about with the back box is it has alot of siliencing stuff in there so i dunno if it will make it roar. i dont want it over loud and am hoping it just gives a nice purr. i aint putting a jap style exhaust on it as they are just loud for being louds sake. much prefer a rolled tip. I will make a pipe up to get a cold air infeed onto the closed cone filter. might just run a pipe from under the engine bay rather than removing the fog light as i would like to keep it looking fairly standard

£400 is cheap
I'm going to spray mine soon but i'll be doing it myself in a mates warehouse and you never get a perfect job if its not done in a spraybooth.
But it will be good enough and only cost the price of the paint as I use all his equipment.
-
i would love to try it myself but i know i would mess it up. if i had the guts i would give it a go
-
I've done a few cars now and my mate has been doing it for 20 years, so he watches over me making sure I do it all right.
Without him there I wouldn't attempt it on my own and he has alot of expensive spray guns etc that I couldn't afford to buy.
-
yeah would be a bit risky. just found a mx3 SE for sale, i posted the link in the "found this for sale" section if you wanna check it out
-
2 days to go until i pick her up :-)

MX-3 is awesome!!! why have i never thought about one of these before. i will post some pics up during the week as it needs a good t-cut and polish. there doesnt seem to be alot of torque in the lower end of the rev range but once it gets up to over 3500 it takes off. is this normal for a 1.8?
-
It'll really kick in at about 4G? yeah, it's a usual thing with them…

Yes - the V6 has variable intake geometry (VRIS). The torque curve is pretty flat throughout the rev range, which means you can put it in 5th at 10mph on the flat and it'll pull.

sweet, thanks guys. much appreciated.
