Mappers - A law Unto Themselves ?
 

Now, im not one to name and shame so wont but the topic applies in general, i had my car mapped last year and was never happy with the end result, cue 3 or 4 re-attempts to rectify, nothing worked and all that happened was an extra couple hundred ££ out of my pocket.


So, move along a year and after good advice from fellow members on here and persiverance (sp) i self mapped my car and now have an awesome car that drives like it should of a year ago.

So the point of all this ? How can an amateur like myself get the car like it is today and the very "pro mapper" was miles off and left me with a car that was terrible. Ive heard similair stories from other members about said mapper so it wasnt just me being unlucky. Theres so many factors i hear that get used as an excuse to eleviate a poorly mapped car but when investigated it turns out most of the time to be a mapping issue not component issue.

This isnt a rant at all mappers so no handbags at dawn, it just infuriates me i wasted time/money and energy and so have others yet nothing ever gets done as "components" are blamed and the mapper drives off into the sunset..........

Because the 'pro' mapper you used is far from it, regardless of all the great reviews you see of him.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know who you are talking about. ....lol.....

:lol1:

Be interested to know as a mate of mine had a map done and I find his car very flat, it also turns over for ages before it fires and seems to flood when it starts. Was fine before.

I've had a couple of maps off a different mapper and been happy enough.

I would actually like to know who this 'pro mapper' is so I don't go and make the mistake of getting them to map my car once I have finished getting my bits.

Mapping can truly make or break a car.

What needed adjusting

I would like to no as well so I can steer clear of it :lol1:

Some of you lot would make cr4p detectives ;)

Can someone pm me who it is please?

I'm having all sorts of issues with mappers. Lots who don't reply or just tell me absolute bollocks. Thought if found a good one but now worried about it!

Sorting a mapper has been the single most stressful part of the car!

Well read the op's previous posts it will say who mapped it last.....

Click on the op's user name and go back a year on his threads started.....

Tis simples

:lol::lol:

I know who it is. :D

I'd only let either of the following anywhere near the ECU in my car with a laptop.

In no particular order;

Paul Blamire
Andy Forrest
Simon Roe
Pat H

Well I'd say this is only a tip of the iceberg with the pro mapper.
It's partly the op's fault for choosing a incompetent mapper

Some one spit it out :lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1:

That's because so many people, who know no better, blow smoke up his arse.

It's not that long ago that the person in question was asking for answers to questions even I knew the answer to. :Whatever_

Just because someone supposedly maps their car that they sometimes drive in Time Attack, doesn't make the a good mapper.

I personally wouldn't let him read a map book, never mind map a car!

To be fair, I've never used him but others who have provide good feedback, I'm happy with my mapper others aren't and there's only one mapper, who maps using carberry, who I really wouldn't touch.

nothing gets done because posts such as these never call out the person in question and get posted only to let the person in question know your not happy. just pm them to discuss the issue or get on and name them and see if there,s a response.

Just go back 12 months or so ! :D

Is it r_c_d_n_m_c_

Can say the same for 1 or 2 others too. It's the arse kissing that makes me laugh.
Too many arse kissing threads of all kinds too.

Hence he uses a sat nav

The funniest thing was an article in that impreza mag. There was a lads race car in there for a feature and it was saying about the figures it produced after said mapper did his stuff.
It then went on to say how unfortunately the car sh1t itself on its first time out. .....lol......

Ive found the thread and **** me im staying clear of that one :lol1: .Ive heard of him before on another forum :lol1: I didn't no he did subarus though :Suspiciou

No Bob Rawle :D guys a ledge

Francis is top :D:D

:cry:

Someone post up a graph of a real funny graph, you know who you are lol.
There's a couple of folk that have it I belive :)

What was wrong with the Map out of interest? My 03 WRX has said mappers map on it and it has been ****ing about recently.

Goes into boost cut about once a week and runs actuator pressure for some unknown reason, no codes or CEL. Disconnect and reconnect the battery and its fine.

Can't remember who posted that graph but yea, it was funny
Yes , Peter zippy
