Title: H&S Exhaust and Unichip - wonderful!!
Post by: roger on March 24, 2005, 18:30
Today has been a culmination of an excellent week. H&S exhaust on Saturday, Unichip mapped today.

Its a new car, again! I'll try and do a longer post about the benefits etc. BHP went up from 139 - 150.

The downside of the week was a degassed bonnett strut - I have done a seperate post on that with some info if anybody gets the same problem.

Off to the pub now, to celebrate 4 days away from work   s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:

Screw the warranty: enjoy the car!   s:D :D s:D  

...And the added knowledge that your engine won't fall to bits.   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

While that might have been true if the car was unmodified, by the time you've been playing with unichips, new exhausts, intakes and all manner of other smaller mods, you may well get into tricky ground when it comes to expensive warranty claims.  Sure at the end of the day you're probably in the right, but that doesn't mean they won't give you lots of grief, take a long time and cause lots of hassle.  With a modified car they have a lot of wriggle room, and I wouldn't put it past them to use it.
