I was on another forum and another subject but it came up that this chap said he had a rolling road and did we want to do a shot out any Sunday . So I told him of my problem re my 160 TF showing a low power out put and he invited me to his r/r today [ Sunday 30/4 ] Well we put my car on the r/r and it made 130 at the wheels. Then he said he could read my remap which I got done 10-11 yrs ago and paid ££££££ for it There was NO remap my car had the std MG/ROVER map. So I agreed to have one of his remaps, the 130 is now 139 and the torque is 15FtLb more and he charges £150 I think he said for a remap NOT BAD. He writes his own soft wear and has an MGZS vvc and is MG mad
Don't for get he is available on Sundays for shot outs if 3-7 of us would like to go

If you paid to have a remap done, and now it has been found you have standard ecu, was a remap never done in the first place? If so can you alert us to who it was, especially if they are a popular choice.

Is the the rolling road/remap offer by somebody in Chester?

the NEW r/r remap is Manchester Dave, and the one that was a rip off was Scotland 10-11yrs ago they did mess about and it was a remap which was available for all makes of cars, they just clicked the MG logo on there computer but as I said it made no difference
This chap just put a generic map on my car which was for a vvc and it made 10bhp/15ftlbs if he had spent time on my car these figures would be higher

OK thanks for replying. A Double S stainless exhaust, followed by a remap were the two mods I was considering but I am no great rush.

This sounds interesting! How do you contact Manchester Dave? Does he have a website? And does he do RR tuning?

Mark Stacey is the guy most of us are familiar with (formerly Zandftuning, now kmaps). Generic K-series maps, plus RR tuning where required

I have just had my ECU remapped by KMaps (Mark Stacy) at £239. It certainly makes for a smoother drive, pulls away more easily, and appears to have eliminated the F/TF 'hesitation' issue. It has also added (at no extra cost) an optional crackle and pop on gear change / deceleration, which is personal taste.
It does all go rather well with the Mike Satur 4:2:1 manifold and exhaust system previously fitted, which probably made the most significant difference both in terms of performance and 'sound track'! Together with a foam panel air filter the engine does breath more easily and I suspect the remap makes the most of this.
I also found the accelerator cable can get a bit pinched under the wadding and finish panel on the rear shelf which made for a bit of a jerky pull away at times.
I am now considering repositioning the air intakes but cant find any hard information on the advantages of changing these.
I also have a Mike Satur shroud for the radiator and (although it sounds rather mad) am thinking of restricting the air flow through the bumper a little as more of the available air will actually pass through the radiator. This should reduce the amount of air passing under the car and hopefully reduce lift, but will experiment with it and see if there is any benefit in it.

If you want to seriously reduce front end lift... then something like this would be interesting:

And yes, for the keen eyes amongst you, it is

Thanks,
that would be a completely different car then!

That will only work if you vent through the bonnet as the normal flow from the rad is under the car.

Yes that is true, however if you reduce the air entering the inlets in the front bumper there will be less air exiting under the car.

If the reduced air flow is directed more effectively through the radiator rather than being allowed to flow around it and under it, it will produce the same cooling effect, that's the theory!
