Now I've owned my 35I for a few weeks the modding has begun!
Stubby aeriel, white leds, exhaust mod, gloss black wheels, part debadged and some black lci side indicators on their way from Germany. Sort of a silver and black thing going on
Ill get some pics sorted next week.
I've read a lot about remapping these last weeks. There are pages and pages of opinions and 'experts' on chipping these engines. Some people really get very upset if someone disagrees with their opinion on which system to use. In the end I've decided to get a tuning box fitted. I spoke to Pete at Auto tech who fits the Spider system and he is happy to recommend it for my car. He is a guy who's opinion I trust completely and I know he will 'back up' the install should I run into any issues.
The Spider will provide several options controllable from an Android app. Basically:- unit off, eco mode, some more horses, even more horses, even more horses, STAMPEDE. That last setting is actually 'race' . :lol: Spider claim a maximum 380 horses and 499 torques.
I'm told none of the cars safety parameters are compromised with this install. So, should be interesting. Actually, the car is very rapid as standard and the sensible view is that its pointless having any extra power as it will be impossible to fully exploit it on the road
But who's sensible :evil: :evil:
Getting fitted a week Friday so the drive back from Telford to Liverpool will be interesting! Will keep you informed.
