Why should we read a post that's not punctuated properly? If you are going to be a smart **** about english grammer make sure yours is up to par!
I.e. Using big and little letters to construct a sentence.

in short its by far the biggest pile of sh-t ecu i have ever seen.
it runs on a ms dos program, my atari has more technology than a simtec
but in answer to your question, i believe that scrap value has gone up so i would nip up to your local scrap yard and get a couple of quid for it, and i would make a sharp exit in case they realise what **** you have sold them.
as for a swap with a gems, try a swap for some midget gems, thats a square deal
hope this true info helps you understand what garbidge you have got

The real point i'm trying to make is puple ronnie is slating an ecu not boozydave, so why start insulting his spelling he may be dyslexic for all we know.

FFS all this ECU bashing is giving me a headache
and it was all started from somone who can't even bloody spell! Oh dear...ANYWAY..
I have an MY00 mate and been looking into/saving for a Simtec.Ideally i just wanted Anti Lag.To be honest JGM does them for somthing like £1100 inc VAT? But then that's mapped to your car so if yours was £600+ then you spend £300 on a MAP your looking at £900 anyway so i'd say somthing like £500 plus a swap for a standard ECU would be a good deal for both parties? Hint Hint
Plus i have a MY99 ECU which is better than the MY00...

I'm thinking of going Sim Tek in the future, but have not seen the software for it. What program was developed to do the flashing has no bearing on the tecnology of the ECU. MS Dos is just an operating sysem and as I understand it, mapping an ECU involves putting different values into different memory addresses for the processor to look up and use for working out outputs, based on inputs. Why would you need a fancy program written for Vista or other complex operating system when a basic program can do the job perfectly well and probably faster?

Sorry chaps, already posted in For Sale section that after all pm's slagging GEMS and praising Simtek, no longer selling.
All my idea was that if i had GEMS then Richard Bulmer could map as and when, when my car is at Carnetix, as within same building with rollers!
Thought of Hydra but £1500 all inclusive, probably a good price. Anyway Richard does'nt map Simtek so i will stick with JGM who rep speaks for itself. Sorry for starting a riot
