Does anywhere do finance/payment plan on an ESL or equivalent?
Hi all, I've got a V3 STI RA with an Apexi power fc fitted and mapped but one of the diodes has burnt out on the board, it's away at the moment hopefully getting fixed... but it's made me think I know it's still a capable ecu but they're getting on a bit and was wondering if getting an ESL or the likes might be a better idea?
I've been quoted around a £1000 to get an ESL fitted and mapped with A/L, launch and mafless. My question is as it's quite a big outlay is there anywhere that does finance or a payment plan etc? |
The Bank lol, 6%
|
£1000 seems a little steep....
The board itself with motorsports features enabled is around the £500 mark including vat direct from Andy at ESL. Mapping cost should be around the £300 figure I'd imagine. Buy the board, fit it yourself and then save up for mapping. |
Thats way over the top
£550 for ESL supplied/fitted/mapped and £150 for al/lc. Unless you're running a 6 speed forget the launch as it'll eventually cost you a gearbox and unless you're running a capable turbo forget the antilag too. |
Who has quoted you £1000?
|
Cheers for the replies... Yeah I thought it was on the pricey side.
It's running a vf29 and a standard RA 5 speed. Who does it for £550 supplied/fitted and mapped? And do they travel as I'm in North wales |

Nicest guy you could want to meet and doesn't half know his stuff but unfortunately he seems to be almost twice the price lol |
I doubt you'll get it all done for £550, not sure where Hamster got that price from but I could be wrong.
But even so, a grand is beyond a joke. |
If you can't afford it and the apexi is in and set up working etc then just leave it alone.
Esl may have those features but as pointed out, your gearbox will be toast when you launch it, and pops and bangs can be mapped in to any ecu. You don't nesaecarily need als. You will not need or use 90% of the available features of the ecu |
According to andy forrest website £680 fitted and mapped

My point is surely someone local will be same price
|
I got mine done by Andy Carr, mapped and installed for £700 inc VAT, though that might have included a new decat downpipe ...

Credit Card?
|
Group B Motorsport.Deeside.North Wales.
ESL Dealer with in house rolling road & mapper.Am surprised you haven't heard of them. & as rossyboy said credit card. |
Price seems about right I had paid £600 for ESL with Motorsport pack enabled & ODB lead and about £400 on mapping setting it all up.
|
Speak to Andrew Carr, he does a hell of a lot with it.

Mapping on the Chucky! Hahaha love it!
You can't be serious tho |
Sure am bud, they do drugs that way and I guess cars are my fix lol... but it's not like I'm after an ecu/remap because I'm after more power it's just to get my car running again.

Credit is credit and any form is far from ideal
|
Yeah but in this contect 'bung it on the credit card' doesn't sound half as bad as 'get it on finance/payment plan'.

It may not be an option for you but I strongly recommend going on the esl course that they run. Each and every parameter is explained in detail and teache's you the basics of mapping. I found it very valuable and will sav me in the long run as you will be able to map the esl board each and every time you get in the car if you so wish. The after sales service is also second to non, Andy is very contactable and happy to answer any questions.

I'm not really getting the difference? I'm not on about ocean finance lol there is quite a lot of places do finance like demontweeks for example...

Quite a few credit cards have zero interest in first 6-12 months so that way would work out cheap for you monthly without robbing interest and also help boost your credit rating if you use it wisely,
