Right folks can I start by saying thank you beeko85 , nickyjam and broadbandings for showing more evidence on the points I was talking about .
And Gaz 44 please look back at the original threads as I have never stated taking 3 sec of 0-60 (that was crossy r thread)
I stated maybe 3 sec off 0-100
My original thread was basically asking approximate figures of before and after remap?
Which is what im trying to get at to answer your question gaz?
I didn’t realise you can only race people if you have no passengers? Why do people have sports cars and high powered cars if they are not going to enjoy the drive , and Im not a boy racer lol
And gaz 535d and m5 to top speed race obviously m5 will win, but once again you fail to understand what im saying REAL LIFE DRIVING I don’t do top speeds on roads however mid range driving counts in everyday driving for me. My friend has 535d and its amazing.
When I said changing down in rx8 will make no difference I was exaggerating , obviously you didn’t get it?
And steve just to clarify my car isn’t remapped as it came out 145bhp on rr
And yes diesels rev to 5k but I change before the red at about 4k hence I stated rev to 4k and yes I have stated diesels have poor start twice. So we don’t need to say it again. I was referring to loaded car or going up a hill not straight drag race.
Please can I have some answers to original thread as I think we all getting carried away.
It is a interesting topic and as enthusiasts we could learn a lot from each other

And steve sorry mate but as you’re the only one STILL talking nonsense, I have no idea what you mean anymore.
A lot of people seem to understand what im saying however there’s always one?
Did you not write this in your tread?
“Which brings us nicely back to the original point people picked you up on when you determined your car was keeping up with a mapped Ibiza - your car is mapped, and I suspect your brothers Superb isn't”
You stated my car must be remapped did you not ??????
Diesels have more low down poke than petrol = so better off the mark acceleration ?
This is totally confusing me now
Interesting of cause they have more power however what you FAIL to understand is you have to change gear in a diesel lot sooner hence it hurts the 0-60
Sorry mate id rather you keep your guff to yourself now as its getting boring
This really doesn't make any sense. Explain...
you know day to day driving, on roads, not on drag strips.
yeah laziness plays a part for me, the seat's umph is just there, when i had the clio i needed to feel like nigel mansell the whole time to make it fast, something like a golf tdi would catch you off guard and before you knew it your trying to play catch up, often the road would run out though.
the clio had a really nice push when it came on cam at 5,500rpm. if i has a spare few grand i'd stil have a little stripped out cup racer for track days or when im in the mood. most of the time i was not. now however i can go just as fast easily
why would he not count the run at inters oh wait he would
i know he has been running water meth i was talking to him whilst he was getting it fitted
and whilst im thinking about it you have quoted his 5.0 seconds dead 0-60.... and that was done on which run ooooooooohhhhh yea
you cant have it both ways dude
plus he hasnt got the meth set up into his system (ie mapped in) and its mainly water he is running anyway not much meth at all
It's tempory timing gear which lots of people believe isnt't too accurate
temp timing gear or not, some were running worse than at pod ie. you and rob
so that can go either way mate
Cos thats the only 0-60 time he has and its likely to do that anyway! The water/meth is set up for cooling only atm, which means colder boost, so can fit more air into the engine so bigger bang and more power!
top end hence why he is running higher terminal speeds
ive done gps timing and the classic passenger timing me 0-60 (130pd fr 05 plate)
standard: 9.1 secs (131bhp)
remapped: 8.1 secs (165 bhp 291lb/ft off a RR at powerstation)
at the time, just changed the air filter to green cotton and had the remap!
1st gear in the diesels are pretty rubbish and it's difficult to get a perfect launch due to the power delivery. It also comes down to traction, gearing and of course, the driver.
I plan on remapping my 160 sometime next year.
ok seeing as this thread has been high-jacked from every angle lol - i too want to get my 160 remapped, my only concern is that its now on 86k, any thoughts on this guys?
i live literally 5 minutes drive from Jabba sport
