Totally off topic Syer, but how do you format the text so it shows it crossed out?? I always thought we couldn't do it on the vbulletin forums ;/
Great stuff, nice find Syer
Truly funny Jimmy. 24 hours on and i still cant think of a suitable retort
You've left me speechless.........I did think i'd just comment on my remap, seeing as 5 days have passed and i've had a chance to get a few miles under my belt.
REMAP SUMMARY:
Firstly: Start-up, normal driving etc - no detrimental issues at all. And the typical Clio cold-start-stutter hasn't even began to rear its very unwelcome head so far. I'm very much from the: Fire it up, wait 10 seconds. then drive off (Of course being VERY careful to keep revs low initially) school of motoring. Not a single hiccup, splutter, judder or windscreen headbutting moment yet. Touch wood !
MPG - cant comment and tbh not hugely interested bar something ridiculous occuring. Suspect it might be slightly better, but i also suspect its very-very close to what it was as standard. And seeing as its impossible to be able to do a tank-full at identical speeds, loads etc etc - a scientific test is near impossible to achieve.
Power - You can more than notice improvements in Torque and HP. Much more driveable, less frenetic gear-stirring needed to make semi-rapid progress = less stress and more relaxed driving due to improved torque and just out and out better fueling i suspect. My seat of the pants dyno also tells me this - to back up the clear improvement on the before and after graphs. But also; with holding its peak power for nearly 1250rpm at the top of the rev-range.....and having the rev-limit raised by 250rpm.......if you scream it now: its very satisfying to use all thats available. TBH it always did feel to be hitting the limiter early and well before the power tailed off........
All i ever wanted was "perfect fuelling". I was never chasing numbers, or a graph to post on the internet to wow and amaze friends. I felt the standard Clio mapping / fuelling was about as bad as it gets. Shocking infact. And i mean that. And having owned many performance cars / bikes in my time; and been in some serious metal i feel i'm fairly qualified to comment.
I can now safely say those minor niggles, glitches, flat-spot and cold start issues has somewhat transformed the car into something with good performance on tap should you want it, but thats also alot easier to live with on a day-to-day, slow / short drive to work basis.
Grinning. Me

Great write up Syer! It's brilliant that the map ticked every box you wanted it to I did wonder - after the hiccup with the injectors - that you might end up being a bit underwhelmed with it, given what you had to go through prior to actually getting it mapped. But really good to hear you're so happy with it mate
And thank you, it was too good an opportunity to miss

Abject Failure !
If you've got £15 you really cant think of anything better to do with, than spunk it on something utterly useless; this could be right up your alley.
Firstly you get the anticipation and waiting for delivery, on the back of false promises of huge improvements in noise levels.
Then you can take ages to make a real nice job of fitting it, cutting slots, radius the corners, sealing it down etc etc.
You also get the chance to slip with the Stanley knife during the above, and chop a big lump right out the side of your left index finger.
Highly likely in this heat you'll get seriously hot under the collar doing it
Not to mention you'll actually technically lose boot volume as the stuff is a whopping 12mm thick.
And of course the noise will be exactly the damned same !
Get on it guys. This one is just full of win :thumbup1:
Brilliant review, I've ordered some because of this

I'm going with having a pair of socks on your ears as ear muffs would be better
