1Get a Dawes, decat exhaust
2Drive it round for 2 weeks and enjoy
3Take it off
4Drive it round, keep checking the handbrake cause you'll think you left it on

I can't believe how much this £35 device improves the car, it feels really really slow without it, nowhere near as much grunt all through the revs.

Anyone else noticed this after taking it off?

I took the Dawes off and found it wasn't that much slower. I did find however the car wasn't as easy to drive and I had to "work" it a bit more to get it to perform.

Thumbs up

Are you kidding, the Dawes makes it go like SOAS! Oh and the fuel gauge goes down just as fast.....

Now looking for an ECU that can do the same safely.

Seriously - was not a great deal of difference, it was the day to day driveability that suffered.....

Prefer it on though and Shell loves me

John, I must say, you made me LARF!

Boy told me that you were selling the car, I thought that you were now settled on keeping it...oh well.

I hope that you can live with yourself!!!

Goodbye, MD.
